How do you love yourself?
I can play a charming and fun version of myself but as soon as there's a possibility that the woman I desire would reciprocate love, I lose all sense of self-respect. I'm tired of this dog-personality.

I am me and as I am me I don't need to care about I.
All illusions of love are shattered eventually, no point in hanging onto something so fragile.
Don't need love to not give a shit.

It's a first step. You have to acknowledge that the world is black and white. When you know grey, you learn the value of such a distinction.
You know that you're never going to get where you want to be by staying comfortable. Sometimes you need to just let yourself be hurt to realize that it really isn't as bad as you think.
I don't need to be able to love myself to understand the concept of human dignity, or respect.
