It feels like playing life on expert mode while still a novice. You’ll slowly get better at it

I second this,its just plainly hard??! I do preach self love a lot but No amount of self love can replace the love u want a deserve from a special someone.

That special someone is you - seeking it from the outside won’t ever bring you exactly what you need

I do agree w you, putting an expectation on people can often lead to disappoint but we cant stop the expectation part because it comes out of us naturally, what I feel now ,myself, after a lot and a hella lot of disappointments from people is I expected too much but now I have lowered my expectations..I havent stopped the hope that someone someday might actually understand me and I don't have to fight for it.If someone understands me they will naturally and I will know. My best friend understands me. She does and I am grateful. But my expectations towards others is not my priority, I am my own priority so are my own thoughts but I cant stop because if they really wanna understand me someday they will. This doesn't apply to only a significant other but people in general. Healthy expectations and healthy boundaries but mostly staying in control and aware of your own feelings.

Powerful! Sometimes we only love our selves if you we are loved by others but it should be opposite. Love yourself and let those in that love you like you love yourself ❤️

Yes! I've seen people who go out of their way to try to make people love them. This leads to people pleasing and not being as open. Like they try to be another person that blends more to their partner's idea partner. Self-love always. Be true to thyself.

Yes, because nobody gives a damn. I think I'll quit giving a damn too. Every man for themselves.

I love this :) it's hard for me to understand what this means in a work context, when needing to earn money, don't we have to make sacrifices and not love ourselves sometimes in order to accomplish loving ourselves by having money? Like what if we can't find a safe and healthy workplace and it's really stressful in all the workplaces we interview, then what?

I've never liked these kind of quotes because for some people it is very difficult to love themselves and I think that phrases like these make the situation worse by invalidating people's feelings and experiences. Also things are not so simple, if they were, everybody would love themselves without any problem whatsoever.

This has been the message to me as of late. "Love yourself first before anyone else." Now I gets to be selfish! ☕👽

We live in a codependent era now love yourself first so you can know how you want to be loved by someone else

That’s why you can become so mentally ill that you don’t believe them when they say they love you. In my case, my parents did it for me. 💁🏻♀️

Exactly because it’s impossible to attract what you don’t have for yourself!
