While many people say its impossible to love someone else if you don’t love yourself, but that’s not entirely true. That’s because the problem isn’t with giving love, its with accepting it.

When you don’t love yourself, things as simple as believing how someone sees you is true. You will doubt every compliment, because you are unaware of you own worth. For example, do you ever find yourself questioning the way you move and thinking that your true feelings towards yourself will be exposed? You avoid getting attached so you don’t lead yourself to “disappointment”.

Not loving yourself can lead you accidentally frustrating your significant other and people who you have personal relationships with. You’ll find yourself, laughing or shaking your head when they call pretty. When you SO tells you you’re all they desire, you’ll find yourself still questioning if they’re seeing some one on the side. They’ll start to wonder why they can’t gain your trust,while  you are trying to make sure they peel your million of layers off.

When there is no love inside of you that is dedicated to loving yourself, you self sabotage. You end up hurting yourself before they have a chance to hurt you.

When you don’t love yourself its hard to make a relationship last. The more they want you, the more you will pull away because you dont know love entirely.

I believe while in our 20s we should make it a huge part of us to learn how to love ourselves.  Teach yourself what feeds your soul, what keeps you smiling, what fuels you to push harder. If we don’t know, how could you expect someone else to.
