What steps do I take to love myself?

@quickwittedVillage5700

I am glad you are here. That's a good start.

This is hard to answer becaues it is so very open ended. Make time to do something you enjoy is probably a good start. There are many good posts around here this week for Member Appreciation that have several ideas on this topic. Looking at them may inspire you also.

Thank you for reaching out. Best wishes.

Hi I’m no therapist or expert but I have some experience with that well there are some things if u just notice those small details or even the people around you what do they think about you or have you ever wondered why the people who loves u and care about u still be there for you it’s because the good thing you done for them if ur bad those people wouldn’t care about you right but if they are still care and still there for you it means they have something in you to hold on too let’s say a kindness or you make them laugh everything you do even if it was a smile you draw on your neighbor just because you said hi it shows that ur a good person and you did good things no matter how small it was it does effect on people around you and you can start by asking yourself why you don’t love yourself,tell the people who loves you that and see their reaction they will shout like whyyy don’t u love yourself,see that when they shouted it means they disagree with you and they think ur wrong not to love yourself

@quickwittedVillage5700 I'm not a therapist either.
My answer to your question is as follows?
Do an investigation into how you dont love yourself first. For example. Is your internal self talk negative towards yourself? Do you self reject? Do you call yourself names? Do you look after yourself poorly? Are you cruel to yourself?
Maybe watch yourself to raise your awareness of the many ways in which you dont love yourself.
Once you have that information you can look at what you need to be doing to love yourself well. Its can be useful to ask yourself if I were a child in need of love right now what would I give myself?
Be firm with your goal. When you catch yourself self hating say to yourself something like "I will no longer treat myself this way. How can I be loving towards myself right now?" Keep the goal to be kind, loving and compassionate to yourself in the front of your mind.
Hope that helps some.
