How do you love yourself? My whole life I feel like it's

>>18010664
Are you me?

Serious question. Are you a virgin [spoiler] too?[/spoiler]

>>18010669
No im not a virgin. I guess i can fake being a completely different person at times so im not that fucking autistic but i hate the fact that this bullshit still occupies my mind. The self loathing is real after breaking up with my girlfriend too. Oh well

Honestly sounds like something medication can fix. Serious answer.

loving people means accepting their faults, not ignoring them.

sometimes loving your dog means slapping them on the nose so they dont poop on the carpet.

dont believe tumblr when they say loving yourself means giving into ALL your base urges.

loving yourself means giving yourself credit where credit is due, and treating yourself the same way you treat the people you love. most importantly with affection, yes, but also holding them to a standard and being upset when they deviate from that standard.

the difference between loving someone else and loving you is that when you're upset with yourself YOU can fix it.

You'll likely always have a little insecurity due to self-awareness.

Personally, I feel like I've been able to love myself a lot more in the last couple of years and it has made a big difference in my life.
It's hard to narrow it down but maybe start by just allowing yourself to enjoy something once without caring too much about whether you deserve it or not.
It will put you back in tune with something positive and something to be grateful for and from there you can build.

You don't. Constant depression anxiety and self loathing can bring a clearity most will never know

Definitely has to do with self awareness now I think about it. Im constantly thinking about my body language, facial expressions, thoughts/emotions/reactions, why i feel a certain way at a certain time, etc.

I wish these thoughts just never occured to me desu

>>18010664
With my hand.

Perhaps it's a little extreme. But have you considered taking MDMA/ecstasy?

It will melt away that anxious self awareness and connect you will feel super connected with people. It will show you what's possible and hopefully you can retain that lesson or some version of that self beyond the time taking the drug.

Are you actually me? All this shit applies to me so well. I even was anxious talking to others online/cashiers at one point.

Learn to stop giving a fuck.

Life is nothing but misery learn to stop giving a fuck. The second you do that you can maybe enjoy it. Also, drugs will solve literally every problem you have.

Do shit that makes you feel better about yourself, like going to the gym often; you're practically killing two birds with one stone by feeling better about yourself mentally and physically. Also anything else that you can feel accomplished by works too, really boils down to what kind of person you are

Same for me certain people turn me back into a betamax but try to keep a pokerface, try to imagine he isn't there and try to imagine how you'd feel if this was the case.
Also it keeps getting better (27 now).
If you can also try not giving a fuck about what others think of you, some will laugh in their cups but most won't care about or overthink stuff you do or say that you might think are cringy
