Do you accept and love yourself completely?

Question

When we grow up our environment has some preferences or moral judgments what's good or bad what is admired and desired and what isn't this can lead to us putting parts of ourselves behind a wall because we feel like these parts will not be accepted or we ourselves who have certain moral ideas as well might not like these parts. It can also happen because of trauma or other difficulties.

I did have this experience aswell right now I don't even remember what the problem was why I couldn't accept myself the way I am now. I don't even know or feel what parts of myself were hidden from my conscious mind anymore. I just feel whole because it wasn't anything serious that caused this.

But if you're younger maybe you still have to go through this process. So I thought I'd write about it maybe it can help you. I know a few people who are struggling with this. It's not always easy depending on the reasons your mind chose to burry this part of yourself in the first place but it is better to be whole in the end :).

Good luck to everyone :)

For the sake of  playing with words , the concept of self-love is odd in the phrasing to me, as I see love as motion outward, not inward. So I'll just discard this strange idea and move on to the concept of acceptance instead lol Oh wait, yes, accept oneself completely? I might want to nitpick on how this is supposed to be desirable. But enough now. Yes, I think it's utterly important to accept oneself. Saying that though, I'm saying nothing that isn't obvious already. I wouldn't want  self-acceptance to be a fixed state anyway , otherwise it would mean I'm never conflicted, it would mean I lost myself in a delusion. I trust motion, not stillness.

No for the longest time I didn't even know but I hated myself deeply where I was taking my hatred out on myself by eating and getting fat, picking at my skin til it bled for no reason, washing things barehanded with bleach and hot water.. not caring about my hands or my skin. I am trying to get over it now and accept myself with what little youth and looks I have left but it is a hard battle, since I still feel worthless.

Here are some Bible verses that relate to self-love and self-acceptance:
Proverbs 19:8
Encourages people to love their souls so that they can find truth and goodness, which are available through Christ

Romans 8:28–30
Discusses how self-acceptance comes from recognizing that God is still working on people and will conform them to Jesus Christ

Proverbs 4:23
States that people should guard their hearts, which are the wellspring of life

1 John 4:10-11
Says that people should love themselves more fully so that they can love others more fully

Some ways to love yourself in a biblical way include Prioritizing self-care, practicing self-discipline, having places to unload what you're carrying, prioritizing personal relationships, and Being patient with yourself. 😇💕

Hated myself to the point that suicide nearly won the day 6 years. Luckily amazing friends held my hand on the road to recovery and a happier me, until I separated recently from my wife of 34 years. That’s really pushed me back a great deal. Thankfully the same great friends have held my hand again and prevented me going back to my ultimate place of darkness. I’ll get back to where I’d like to be, but it might take time. My best advice: If you have children or are considering doing so, don’t let the urge to mentally and emotionally to treat them like shite get the better of you. That kind of hurt never really goes away. Be kind, it’s priceless.

Gold618 · Answer

No, because I know there is so much about me that needs to be improved, and I'm not a narcissist.

Pupweb · Answer

No, not really. If I’m being honest, I struggle with perfection, but I’m learning to be kinder to myself.

FreyaRed · Answer

Narcissus loved his reflection in the mirror as well. I don't think emotional approach to evaluate your own good and bad sides is useful. It's okay when it's honest and cold calculation

I love my self sometimes. When I am confident and productive. But if I am lazy, I hate myself. My self esteem is dependent on my actions for some reason
