Self-Acceptance Over Self-Love
- Instead of striving for self-love directly, aim for self-acceptance first.
- Self-acceptance is the foundation upon which self-love can be built.
Love as a Natural State
- Our natural state as humans is love, both for ourselves and others.
- Societal upbringing and external pressures often disrupt this natural self-love.
Socialization and Self-Doubt
- Children are socialized/domesticated to fit societal norms, often through reprimands and conditional love.
- This can lead to children believing they are inherently flawed and not good enough.
