    Does that make you kinder to others or more self-absorbed?

    I recently started to appreciate myself. I don’t know if I can say loved yet but def appreciate and if I must say so myself, I do not think that I’m a self absorbed person. (Ha ha, you will not be able to tell that from this post since there are a lot of “I”‘s written here but in reality…)

    I have a loud inner critic.

    My inner complimenter pipes up here and there,until my inner critic stuffs a rag in its mouth and unrolls the duct tape!

    I am learning to pay more attention to the “kol d’mama daka” of the inner complimenter.

    Being kind to urself is not synonymous with “self absorbed”. That has a negative connotation and the 2 r very different. I absolutely cringe when I hear ppl being critical of themselves. Please-be good 2 u!! The most important relationship u will ever have is with urself!!

    s2021…I don’t think I’m self-absorbed at all.

    That’s one thing I’m confident about:I care very much about the happiness of others.

    My parents were excellent examples of that.

    I just meant:Which feeling is the root of self-absorbtion?

    Is it extreme self-love? Or the insecurity that if they don’t care about themselves totally and completely,who will?

    This thread has got me thinking.

    ??? say ????? ???? you must love your friend. How much? It doesnt say to love ???? a lot, but ???? as you love yourself. And someone who doesnt love themself? Maybe they are going thru a difficult time and are even hating themself. But maybe ??? are telling us that deep down everyone DOES love themselves. Even in a bad situation, however bad, a person likes does like themself and should like themself. Never give up hope. There is always a way out.

    If I treated everyone like I treat myself, I’d be an even worse person than I am. I treat *everyone* better than myself and I give *everyone* more respect than I ask in return.
