I love myself.

[biteme]

But I love most of you too, I think. Sometimes, I hate myself. Am I making any sense? Some dude on the radio tonight was claiming that when a person truly learns to love him or her self, they do not need another person to love them. They will no longer look outside theirself for fullfillment. Hmmmm. Maybe an oversimplification, nevermind, that's stating the obvious. Dude needs to shut the fuck up, was trying to sell a book.

No one is complete in themselves. That isn't to say that they need another person, per se'. We are social creatures. Let the autor shut himself in a box (a literal box) and see what he thinks after a couple months.

Actually, no one can be loved by another until they can love or at least like themselves.

Until you can truely give your love without asking for anything in return, you will never love yourself.

same sauce, different midriff.

I don't totally agree, if you offer love with out loving yourself it's a negative compensation for what you are missing.

It can also be classified as passive aggressive and co-dependant behavior.

thats if your are using the guise of love to fill your own pot with sensory or self serving emotion... i was not limmitting my flippant chefism to romantic love, but I could see how if tied that way, your diagnosis would be right.


The center point of all is the grounded root chakra... no self understanding, ie 'love', no center... everything else falls like a house of cards.

The argument that nothing is selfless is a familliar one, but you know my 'root', so you know at least some of what I mean.
























What are you wearing right now?

 

[hanselthecaretaker]

We cannot be prepared mentally, physically, or emotionally to love someone else before we actually love ourselves.


Chefwide, you're supposed to ask for pics, too, otherwise she might end up thinking you don't really care.

 

[courtneybcca]

Some people believe that true love between soulmates is destined to be regardless of self. They were one in the spirit world and were split apart when placed on this earth and they go on a journey to find each other. A returning of the duad. Others believe that the spirit that inhabits us has prechosen the life we lead. The obvious question if true is why doesnt everyone pick the life of the rich and famous? They say that the spirit wants to experience the good and bad of life and chooses the journey that they embark on based on what it hasnt experienced in previous journies. I think I saw Dr Phil or Oprah say that. The spirit duad conjecture I read for sure in Joseph Campbells' the power of myth. Personally I think one should look at successful romances and learn how they interact and emulate the qualities they see and would like to receive. Active listening, showing genuine interest in the well being of the other by taking less of selfinvolved focus on ones self. You have to give to receive simply. Two individuals that focus more on the others needs are more likely to succeed together. Couples counseling reveals that couples that make internal attributes about their mate are less likely to succeed together than the ones who make external attributes. What that means is internal attributing example would be one is late for dinner, the internal attributer perceives that this due to the lack of caring to be on time is part of that person's personality. An external attributer would say that their mate is late b/c of work or traffic or something externally happening to them and doesnt doubt the voracity of that persons caring about the other. He must have a good reason for their lateness vs. thinking that it is just the makeup of their mate and is just one more reinforcement in their internal attributions. They then respond with criticism and dislike of their mate. So its how we choose to perceive events that occur and one can learn to identify when they do attribute negatively and can choose to external attribute once they become aware of how they are thinking. That is how couples learn to discuss issues effectively and resolve roots and spiral of resentment towards one another while discussing it with a trained counselor. One must switch the attribution roles and internally attribute that it is I who controls my reaction to events and take ownership of outcomes they wish to be more positive. One must also define what is love mean to them and think through how to interpret things optimistically, the glass is half full instead of half empty. My ex gf absolutely hates me and I think the glass is twice as big as it needs to be. Wtf does that mean?

Now that's what I needed to hear right now. I'm a little melancholy for some reason. I think I'm overworked.
