How do you learn to love yourself?

Question

By noticing that people always going to judge and never going to satisfy them plus they don’t even like themselves enough… everyone is worry about themselves more than other people and the very few people who don’t have a life and judge others got more things to worry about in their life so.. start being nice to yourself.. it’s okay to want better and change for yourself but also accept that it takes time and small steps to become our better selves and that whatever “better self” version of yourself that you want to achieve may not be necessarily what others version of better are and that’s ok! Loving yourself is a journey even when you finally get to loving yourself, you’re going to have days where you might not feel it enough and it’s during those days where you treat yourself a little nicer.

Realising how short life is. If that doesn’t scare you enough to enjoy every single thing life offers you today, I don’t know.
I used to hate myself but I’ve come to love myself and know I’m worthy of good things, after I realise I will not be here forever, I might not even be here in a month. I don’t want my life to just be of self hate, to just be miserable.
I sometimes forget that but am always brought back and you look at life, at yourself, at others, at situation, so differently.

When I truly love another person, I want them to overcome their greatest struggles, improve upon their greatest weaknesses, and challenge their negative thought patterns.

So I treat myself the same way. I just quit drinking at the end of last year. My inability to stop drinking once I start was one of my greatest weaknesses. I didn't accept myself as an alcoholic; I refused. That's how I finally quit drinking.

That's love to me. It's not based on acceptance except at the bare minimum idea of being patient enough to work through our problems. It's not accepting our problems but embracing our potential to overcome them.

Treat yourself with the tenderness & care that you would someone that you love. Also, look at your own strengths & good traits, acknowledge them & appreciate them. Use them to make yourself & others feel good.

Literally had a talk about this today at work, my co-worker mentioned he had to learn to “have value for myself” in order to do so and keep going in his life.

I only achieved this by loving others genuinely and carelessly too... reciprocation given, allowed me the time to find myself

Time and practice. Focus more on your successes than your failures.  Don't ignore your failures. But celebrate your successes no matter how small. Focus on your good qualities instead of flaws

You treat yourself very nicely.  These can be done by eating amazing food that makes you feel good, going out to have fun, exercising your body etc.

It helps me to think of how I would feel about someone else just like me. I think we would be best friends. We have tons in common and could do all the things I enjoy together.
