Why can I help everyone but myself?

Self-love is something that's hard to express. I know that I struggle with it. When you've been beaten down so many times, it's hard to convince yourself that you're NOT the problem, that others are right about you. But, lets be real, when we are surrounded by people that put us down, that don't care for us, that don't show love, it's hard to love yourself, to help yourself.

Those people need another person to hold their hand. For you, there can always be someone else holding your hand and supporting you.

I have had to ask myself the same question and I'm still wondering why. I am always able to help everyone else, but when it comes to myself, I can't take my own advice for some reason. Maybe it's because we need other's to tell us exactly what we would tell them if they were facing the same obstacles that we were/are in our own situations or it can be becase we just don't want to accept or have to make certain decisions.

it is much easier to offer advice than to take it. Most of us know right from wrong, but we still make mistakes which is human nature

What I learned so far is that you can be objective to the problems people around you have but when it comes to yourself, you tend to be more harsh, less patient. Sometimes you're not meant to do it on your own, the way that you can help others goes the other wasy around too.

It takes time, I have found that by helping others, and listening to them it helps me identify unhealthy thought patterns, bad habits and other character weaknesses I want to work on.

Do you feel as though you help everyone but yourself? That can be a tough situation- I think many people would feel the same way.

Practice self love, That is what helps. You probably need more introspection and reflection. Not knowing how to help yourself is indicative of needing more time and reflection for yourself.

When helping others you are more distanced from the situation. It's easier to think through it and come to a solution. When helping yourself, it is a lot harder to think rationally, especially when overcome by emotions. When you and the people you love are involved in a situation it can be difficult to deal with your emotions and can become easier to do nothing. When you are less involved, it can be easier to logically work through the best course of action. So I guess the reason it is easier to help others is because you can separate yourself from the situation.

I can help everyone but myself because maybe I was frustrated by the thoughts of my problems. It sucks really, not to be able to help yourself. But once I embraced my problems, and accepted them and believed in myself, I actually did help myself.
