1) What does loving oneself means to you?
To be kind to yourself and to forgive yourself
2) Why do you think you struggle to love yourself at times?
I feel like I am not worthy of it because I am not completing my goals
3) What makes it easier for you to love yourself?
Getting stuff done
@PurpleSnail
Hey there !
I like that you added forgive yourself to the definition, forgiveness definitely is an important proof of love that we often forget. I get you about not feeling worthy of it due to not completing your goals, I hope though that you can slowly learn to forgive yourself for not completing them (yet), plus maybe by giving yourself more love and acceptance towards not being there yet regarding your goals, it can actually give you more strength to achieve them!
Good luck on your goals! Take care and thanks for checking in x

1) What does loving oneself mean to you?
that you are kind and don't hurt yourself purposely
2) Why do you think you struggle to love yourself at times?
because i dont really know how to love something fully.
3) What makes it easier for you to love yourself?
put my whole heart into my feelings.
@ShadowTag
Hey there !
I like your definition of loving oneself! Loving something fully does sound to be hard come to think of it, especially as there are often some bits that we just dont like no matter what. I hope though that by putting your whole heart into your feelings, you can little by little end up loving yourself fully!
Thanks for checking in! Take care x

Those are some really good questions, bliss.
1) What does loving oneself mean to you?
tbh, I don't know.I always struggled with self loving but as a person who doesn't know hot to love themselves, I think loving myself means loving myself the same way I love others. I do everything for the people I love, I rather hurt myself than hurt them, I am loyal at to them. I think loving myself would mean doing all this for myself.
2) Why do you think you struggle to love yourself at times?
I let people walk all over me. I keep things to myself. I rather let it hurt me than hurt others. I don;t speak no matter how much I want to. I am very overconfident. Soemtimes, i have very short willpower. All these makes me hate myself, alot.
3) What makes it easier for you to love yourself?
As lame as it sounds, when someone praises me I feel better about myself and at that moment I do realise how nice I am. how good I am and in those little moments I do love myself.
