Dear from what I can see you already took the first step towards it..You want to love yourself and that is the biggest and the most crucial step.One step forward would be respecting your opinions and not getting affected by your surroundings..For example don't think that if "this" person doesn't love me..I don't deserve to be loved..Love is for everyone.One thing I did which helped me a lot was to start loving and accepting myself and others.If you think you are not loved try to find it around you and spread it ."Be the change you want to see in the world".But I think you are already doing great if you want to love yourself

Loving yourself is a hard step to take in a road to recovery, but in the end the first step is to evaluate what is stopping you from loving yourself in the first place. Be it self hatred, or driven in anxieties about self worth, there is always a barrier between reaching that love you deserve, as everyone deserves. From there its a process of tearing down the walls to reach your end all goal. Remember, you are KIND. You are SMART. You are IMPORTANT.

Think positively, and look past your imperfections. You are beautiful no matter what anyone says! You were created for a purpose. You are loved. Make yourself joyful. It can be the small things in life that you used to not notice anymore, such as the details in nature or the way the sunlight feels on your skin. Breathe in nature. Breathe in love, joy, selflessness, and confidence. Exhale hate, greed, selfishness, power, lust, and doubt. YOU ARE LOVED. Never forget that.

Everyday when I wake up, I write 5 things that I love about myself. I keep one big list, and I never repeat. Whenever i get insecure about something or dislike something that I just did, I take a look at the list and remember everything good that I do

By loving others. By loving others for both their perfections and imperfections, you'll start to find love for your own perfections, and imperfections, also. Because you are an amazing human being.

Do you know when you look at your friends, family or even strangers when they are doing small things? Like listening to music, reading a book and then are smiling at it, answering the phone and having a good conversation and you think nice things about them when they do it? Or when you see a random person and you realize that shirt looks great in them! Or that scarf matches the person's eye and how amazing they look with it! Do the same for yourself, realize you look great as well, you look adorable when you smile at something you enjoy.

Just stand in front of a mirror someday and look at yourself, tell yourself that you are beautiful, say you love yourself and say you think you're amazing. Pick out 1 thing you like about yourself

You may find it easier to start by being self-compassionate. So often we feel that we need to "earn" love, even from ourselves, but that's a trap. You deserve kindness and care and love just for being. Consider a baby - what can a baby possibly do to earn love? Must they be witty, smart, hard-working, or any of the hundreds of other things you imagine you must be first, in order to deserve love? Of course not! Yet we would all consider babies and small children wholly worthy and lovable. I've found Kristen Neff's writing on self-compassion very clear and accessible and for me has been a great first step on this path. http://self-compassion.org/

You have to begin by accepting and acknowledging your faults and imperfections. This also means having to accept and come to terms with the things you can not change that are part of you. You are who you are and nothing anyone else says can change that, loving yourself means loving all of you from the flaws to your best attributes its saying "This is who I am and I'm not perfect but I accept my humanity, the only person's approval I need on who I am is myself because I know what it feels like and is like to be me"

Do something that. Makes you feel special. For me it might be getting my nails done or something like that. Nothing big but a little thing to feel important.

Loving yourself is a very important thing, that not many of us do but we all should do this. To love yourself, you need to accept who you are. You cant exactly cchange yourself so you have to come to terms with the idea of who you are. You are perfect in your own way.

It's a long road that starts with slowly accepting your flaws, and building the strength of character. Start looking for things you think are positive in yourself and embrace them.
