> Pinkeye - It perfectly resonates with me.. I also have the same feeling, that if he understood me, he would love me, and if he loved me, I can love myself.. But now I am beginning to realize, that even if he understood me, maybe he won't love me.. and even if he loved me, maybe that won't be enough for me to love myself - it is something I have to earn for myself instead of wishing for someone else to give that validating to me... even though it might be something good to start with.Yeah, that's the tricky part! Finding ways to love ourselves just as we are. It does seem to be true that no one else's love can compensate if we don't love ourselves. And that if we do find ways to accept and love ourselves we can accept love from others more easily. It's just so hard to do!
