*My grammar is terrible please ignore it*
Before I got into a relationship, or guess just in general you often hear that you have to love yourself before someone else can love you. And every time I heard that I thought it was really stupid because I thought it would be easier to love yourself if you have someone who is consistently loving you. Although that could be the case, and for that I don't know, for me personally i'm not opposed to the loving yourself before someone else trope. Do I think that you must have 100% self confidence? absolutely not. But I think it has been a lot easier to accept someone else's love for me when I'm finally able to accept it from myself. It's a lot easier to be confident in your relationship with another person when you know that you're the shit. I think it's easier to not be jealous of other people who may interact with your relationship when you finally come to the conclusion that you are the shit.
I remember I used to be so upset when people would say that you need to love yourself first, but I've realized that its not because you become harder to love if you don't love yourself, I just think it makes the transition of going from despising yourself to enjoying your own company a whole lot easier. I don't think you have to think that youre the best person alive 24/7, but I think knowing your worth and knowing that deep down you're a good person, and trying to be your genuine self, makes that transition significantly easier.
This was a weird and random rant, but thank you if you read this far.
