How about do you love yourself and have confidence that the people who accept you for who you are, are the people who are worthy?

I love myself every other day and twice on saturdays if mummy and daddy are out!

In all seriousness, yes I do like myself and I'd go as far as to say that I do love myself, but not in an arogant way

JimmyNothing said:

was that an arrogant thing to say??

SONofaBUSCUITeater said:

I love me and so do my friends, as I love them. I don't have any insecurities in that area cos I know I'm a nice person with good values.

JimmyNothing said:

no...just truthful..loving oneself is not arrogant

rdhull said:

do you think it can reach the point where it becomes arrogance?

JimmyNothing said:

no--self actualization is only seen as arrogance by others with a heap of insecurities

rdhull said:

that, my friend is a great answer! I can see lots if truth in that

JimmyNothing said:

no, not arrogant at all

rdhull said:

I like the way you think Mr. Hull!

I think I am good but Mother says I am bad. Social workers say I can be good sometimes. Everyone else hates me.

Okay, in that case I don't think it's a good idea to only count as worthy people who support the view you hold of yourself, since that view may be neither accurate nor admirable.

So it's good to have love for oneself! That's one of the best things I got from living in the US for the past 4 summers. The children there are brought up to be proud of their acheivments and really believe n themselves and ultimately love themselves. It seems to make them very confident individuals and it kind of made sense to me that these are the people that are controlling the most powerful country in the world. (Not trying to get political here)

I know that when I have kids I'm going to install a sense of self belief and love in my children.

It's like that Simpsons Episode where Mr Burns goes broke because he just has a bunch of yes men telling him what he wants to hear and he seeks out someone who will be honest even if it hurts- Lisa!

(The Simpsons are on all kinds of levels!)

2the9s said:

was that aimed at me, or in response to the question?

For my part, I only judge myself by my own standards. I have no expectations of my friends (one of life's tough lessons .. have no expectations). But I do know that I love my friends and that they love me. Anyone I cease to love, or who ceases to love me, is no longer a friend ...

JimmyNothing said:

I think it's very important to do that ... it will be one of your prime responsibilities as a parent to bring up children who love and respect themselves and others.

I do like myself, and others like me as well...

The say that I am just and comfortable... Whatever that means.

Truly, I do so strongly believe in Karma..

sag10 said:

Maybe they mean your just comfortable with yourself. Regardless, I like youand think your caring and warm.

I LIKE myself but don't truly LOVE myself yet. I'm working on it...

And I'm accepted by others but have never really fit into the mainstream. It's OK by me, though!

I didnt conduct myself very well last year but it's all in the past now. I know Im a good person and decent folk respect me. I have good friends.
