8 Things You Need to Know About Self-Love

ok so I'm late to this, but I'm conflicted about something. Sometimes when I try to indulge in self love, I always feel kinda self centred, because I just keep on thinking its miserable, because my need for self love came from a horrible heartbreak, from someone who also practiced self love, and it was a twofold pang of pain:
1) She had a kind of self love where only her boundaries were followed all the time, none of my needs or pain were understood ever, like I didn't mind her loving herself at all, but it seemed hypocritical, that she accepted all of my love without question, even pointing out when I didn't love her as much as I did at the beginning (so intensely that it was hurting me), while never giving me any of it. It just might be she had a stronger personality and I had a weak one. But like this experience doesn't help self love.
2) I just feel miserable for looking for self love, after an experience where I wasn't loved enough by someone else. Idk if its brainwashing from all the media stuff which made me into a hopeless romantic, but it just seems like a cheap substitute. So how to balance self-love and love for others?
Self love is about what we think is the best for us, but how do we know what's the best for us? Sometimes following yearnings can turn into a selfish stubbornness that turns into regret right? So how to find the right amount? And well isn't sometimes happiness shared to others greater than happiness shared to yourself?

It's hard for me to have self love. I compare myself to others & I struggle with that a lot. I want to feel accepted & loved by others.

Great subject. Just became aware of your channel. Thanks and subscribed.

Nice❤

The most I can do is “me” time after work and that if I don’t have chores after.

"Many people confuse self- love with being selfish. However, if a person does not love or dislike himself, if he is not at peace with himself, how can he extend the hand of friendship to others, how can he love them? Be aware, the people who are content with themselves and at peace within themselves are the ones who can give the most love around them. Therefore, start by loving yourself, admiring yourself, and being at peace with yourself." ❤️

Self-Love is non judgmental. Self- Love is “Radical Acceptance”. Self-Compassion is truly A big part of Self-Love.
I try to remember to speak (out loud) positive affirmations because the WORDS WE SPEAK MATTER! If we say “we can” or if we say “we can’t” - either way we are right!
Practice Self-Care & Love today… I will too! 🌷❤

Self love to me is to say no to offers just to pamper myself.

pat yourself(｡･ω･｡)

I said “I”

Self love isnt always giving yourself, sometimes it is also about taking away from yourself. Like having less fun in days that you know you have an exam to pass! We often miss out on this aspect of self love but the last point summed it up pretty well

I started learning some of these things recently. Especially the last one. I've been clean going on five months now and only just this week started getting urges coming back. It's been hard and yet ready in a way. Like, wanting to spend money on anything else but drugs isn't hard but the physical urge is hard for about 15-20 minutes each time.
I don't know why they hadn't been coming around for this long but I've built up enough love for myself and my growth not to go back to that garbage.

There's a saying "treat others how you want to be treated."
But what would happen if you had to treat others how you treated yourself?

Would you be willing to say to others the things you say to yourself?
Would you be willing to give others the same level of blame?
Would you be willing to give others the same level of respect or lack of? Would you be willing to call them ugly or stupid?

You are not worse then others and no one should treat you as if you are even you. Dont hold yourself to standards you wouldn't hold others. It's not fair. ❤

This video has actually saved me from depression :) thank you psych2go

I was raised that self love is selfish. It's one thing I'm working on.

I watched this video because the concept of “self love” always seemed a bit nebulous. After watching it I feel like I have a little better idea, but I still struggle to contextualize what it actually means

" Love yourself first , If you want to love others "
~BTS💜

I need to learn urgently to love myself because this lack of self love is making me attract people with no emotional commitments with others.

The 2nd part is not true at all far from the truth self love is selfish And taking care of your own needs is b***** f**** b***** so just face the fact that it is selfish And self love is not important is actually useless you can love somebody even without loving yourself so just face the fact I'm gonna hate myself until I'm an extremely old man and you are not going to stop me I'm glad that society is not accepting in the slightest John Kim is a bad person🤬

I just wanted to say thank you. This video changed my perception and to be totally honest I don't know if I were to survive much longer without realising the things that you have mentioned in this episode. I will seek pschychological help and I will strive to become a better person, the process probably won't be easy but I am not going to give up on myself so fast, maybe there is a chance for me. Thank you once again.

An inaccurate video. So-called “self love” in reality is selfishness.

Super awesome, Love your videos and funny cartoons. So true to learn to love youself first that way you can learn to love others. Take a break yourself and those who are singles, married and etc Just take a time out for yourself and examine yourself. I tend to write books, poetry, songs, and try new things that I never done before. Now I am living in Colombia with my beautiful honduran wife and it was super awesome but Even we both needs break for ourselves. Like right now in this spot. HEHE

Sometimes theses videos make me feel like the problem in some of my relationships but at the same time other videos make me feel so justified in what I want and that my needs are also important

Love the animation ❤❤

Wow self-love isn't easy. Watching this has made me confirm how much love I don't give myself and wow I'm far from where I need to be. This will be a long journey. I thought because I'm confident I loved myself but it definitely isn't just that

Psych2Go you have a Golden heart ♥
It means your nice and just like an angel 😇

I just figured out...I look for approval in everybody, because I did not have any from my parents. We should approve our selves before any one else has a say about it.

I've read in a book once that you should always see yourself as your best friend and if you notice that the way you're talking to yourself isn't how you would talk to your best friend, there ist most likely something wrong. It doesn't mean that you can't be strict with yourself but you should always do it in a way that isn't harmful. I know it's not always easy to do that but at least having the awareness that you're not kind to yourself in certain situation is a good step forwards

I actually am learning about peer pressure right now ❤

I learned more about myself in a dream today

I think I discovered that being nice to yourself teaches you to be nice to others, whereas being not nice to yourself "excuses" you to be unkind to others. Unfortunately it's hard for some of us who had to grow up in a household where a survival strategy had to be saying and believing constantly "we are worms! We are worthless!" It's a healing process...

I need to remember these things while practicing self'-love. I must not let any toxic person convince me otherwise.

Thank u for help me to go towards the selflove...

I am learning to say no ..

I would watch videos like that to change my life and to love my self

Hi! I’m part of a group of emotional support for hispanics and would like to share your videos.
Not every single video is in your spanish channel, therefore: could you ad the translated versions or something similar in different languages in this video’s description?
I am sure it would be useful for other suscriptors too 😊🤗

In my opinion self love is how to say No for something that doesn't benefit you or even something u doesn't want

Phsyc2go, you literally help me with everything. Your tips and advice really help me. ❤

Thank you ❤

The way you love yourself shows others how to love you

I never thought that I would need this video to shine light, on things I didn't know about self-love, it makes me feel more light knowing these things about self-love.

reel

i was the type of person that would have enjoyed throwing myself down a flight of stairs. tryna to practice self love more and not be so negative on myself

#6 hit like a truck

Thanks for your videos
