Sorry but am not talking about her/him,am talking about the person reading this right now,yeesss ,YOU:-),let me make it clear,am NOT talking ARROGANCE here,but some people dont realy love themselves enough and some (sad to say)hardly do,do you treat yourself or cheat yourself?DO you stand up for yourself?Are you to hard on yourself often? For those that haven't noticed,this is a harsh world,don't care who loves you or dont,nobody can love you like YOU,when last you treat youself to somthing nice or just did somthing that made you happy? and do you think you love yourself enough?Shout me back,its about YOU!!drinks drinker :heart: :heart:

I have this t-shirt that describes it perfectly for me.

"I used to be Schizophrenic, but we're okay now!"

Still trying to get used to being okay now....:smile:

I treat myself to yard sales. Don't even have to buy anything for it to be special to me. On special occasions I just jump in the vehicle and drive with the radio on a good station.:smile:

Learning to love yourself takes time, honesty and patience,
The world constantly puts up ideals of men/women. Ignore this as much as you can. It is media 'bullsheet' to convince us we need to look this way, or have the latest whatever. we are all fearfully and wonderfully made, so I accepted my 'wonky' features long ago as I prefer to be real and flawed than fake and fecked up mentally as a result.

I was incredibly shy as a kid, being a middle child of six children, I learnt from my strong older brother, my organised older sister, my younger sister who actually bullied me but I began to stand up for myself against her in my teens. I took care of my youngest brother a lot which taught me to be responsible, compassionate and protective.

My friends helped me grow in confidence. Find good friends who encourage you, while giving you the freedom to mess up and learn.

After my children were born I had post natal depression which I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy so I get what you are saying about how horrible it can be and many people don't understand it fully if they had no personal experience of it. I don't live under the label of it - I don't let it define me totally. I embrace the good and bad days. I have read a lot and learned various coping mechanisms.

Laughter is good for the soul which is why I love all of you guys on here with all of your individual shades of humour.

Oh, and I treat myself regularly in various ways, with baths, nice food, movies, massages etc. It's part of loving me. I enjoy being there for others, I seek to maintain peace around me in as much as it is possible.

Thanks for posting this as it is nice to discuss important issues and learn for the collective wisdom on here.

Lots of love and hugs to you from me :heart:

Loving yourself is a journey and we all deal with it in own way.

yes, I agree about loving yourself. If you cant do that, I dont think you can love someone as fully. If you cant do that, you will have no frame of reference of what to expect from someone who loves you.


As for 'treating myself'....hmmm....I dont really 'pamper' myself, like what it seems youre getting at, but I have a job I love and Im happy every day for that, and for the time I have with my son. We do things together whether its yardwork, setting up the grille, cooking stuff, troubleshooting when some crisis comes up...you know, just being a part of daily living together. That makes me happy.

shopping, for me is just an errand that has to be done. a chore. I like going out with the gals now and then but we usually go out to dinner or somethin.
The simpler things makes you happy,that's really good!:smile: :thumbsup:
