How and by what standard do you Love yourself? Personal, religion, or your social group? Hugs, LW

Your question takes me back to my days in counseling 83. My answer then and still is if there were two of you in the same room could you stand to be in that room. If yes then you love yourself if no then thats ok. If you could absolutely not stand it then you do not love yourself.

I live by my own standard, Im beholden to no one

i love myself because the alternative is unlivable.
