Do you believe self love can replace the desire for intimacy from other humans?

I am recovering from a very messy break up and I can tell you that from my mistakes, self-love is the highest and purest way of love. If you ever forget that, you’ll end up being hurt. Always, always put yourself first. No one else will, if you don’t do it.

[SlavicThor]

Completely agree

[PBandJ_Nerd]

Self-love is always good, but it cannot ever replace the intimacy from other people. We have several needs and human contact is one of them. If you don't get it, then you'll become starved and start craving it.

[serious_miss419]

Not true! I don’t crave human contact, it’s very uncomfortable. I don’t crave it either.

Self love should give you the ability to be loved by other humans. It's when we don't have self love that we feel isolated and unlovable.

[-Mad-]

Yes, I do.

lets face it, The more you want love from someone the more self issues you have.

that’s just my opinion

[melanieeeB]

No cause we are humans and I think wanting to be appreciated and loved is a normal thing But still self love is sooooooo important in life

[Agape93]

No. That's like thinking that drinking water could cure starvation.

[DizzyDesii]

Yes. It has for a while now. But its not fulfilling. Just satisfying

[Chazmatazz269]

No, but it can mitigate feelings that might otherwise lead to regrettable choices.

[Blackcupcake]

no… you can love yourself and still desire for that connection with others. humans are social creatures in general.

[KrakenAttackin]

Self love can replace the obsession for validation from other people.

[SweetTwistedSatanist]

Two different kinds of love. No. In fact having one is recommended to get the other.

[Luopio27]

Not for me. When I jack off I dont think of myself, fucking my clone, I think of me fucking pretty white girls.

[OddBeMe]

No. And that’s why we have mass shootings from incels.

[Caramelpie]

Nothing can replace that.

[Echosoul]

I don't think so. That said, self-love? 🤷‍♂️

[msc545]

I agree. Well said!
