Why would loving yourself be more beneficial than thinking less of yourself?

@LordShadowfire It sounds so simple, just love yourself or like yourself...that's true. However if you've had extreme trauma for years and even decades, you believe you don't have the right to like yourself..or it means you're selfish. 😕

@Baybreeze I get that, to some extent. I've got some trauma and shame myself. But you just have to figure out how to let it go.
