Loving yourself = arrogant?
We all know that loving yourself and protecting your soul is extremely important for a happy life. But how do you love yourself?
How do you accept yourself for who you are?
Many people believe that loving yourself is selfish, but that’s not true at all. Self love is not being arrogant and believing you’re better that anyone else, self love means to listen to your body, mind and soul and become aware of what tou actually need in your life.
Self love occurs when you accept yourself for what you are, and that’s when you really start living your life. Here are a few suggestions that will make it easier for you to get to know, understand and love yourself.
Firstly, as I said before, you have to acknowledge your flaws, you negative and positive thoughts, your qualities and accept them as they are.
In this way, instead of being in a constant battle, trying to change yourself for the better, you’ll learn to love yourself for who you are. Also, yoou have to take control over you life.
You deserve a place in this world, you deserve to ask questions, you deserve to be right here, right now! You don’t need anybody’s permission to be a part of this world.
By loving yourself, you will understand that you’re not worse than anyone, and in that way you will teach others to love you!
Besides that, stop comparing yourself to others! Comparation is the enemy of happiness. You are who you are, you’re unique and special. We all have our roads in life, you just have to enjoy your adventure.
And keep in mind that everything takes time! You can’t have anything you want over night. Every road you choose has it’s own rhythm. Be pacient with yourself, with your soul and have faith that you will get wherever you want, if you want it bad enough and you work for it.
Lastly, don’t forget that perfection is an unachievable goal. Feeling perfect is a state of mind, not something that can be created for everyone to see.
Nobody is perfect, so fighting for perfection will always keep you running and will distract you attention from what really matters. Your job is to be yourself and give your best.
Great post! Arrogance v's self assured v's confidence. Is there a difference? YES! When someone is not mindful of another or they take certain attributes/qualities/circumstances for granted at the expense of how others feel, this could be considered arrogance. Arrogance can also be a misinterpretation of ones character by someone who is intimidated by the energy and confidence of another. People are challenged by others success, aptitude and attitudes and there will be people who will want to bring this down to legitimise their own position. It is a version of fear and uncertainty. When people make others uncomfortable it can bring the worst out in another and is normally an internal conflict which they unload onto others. Trolling is an example and we do see that a lot on social media. Cognitive dissonance also brings out the troll. All we can do is work on ourselves and be the best we can be. Seek to improve and evolve and do what you need to do without harm to others. If someone finds this assured intent as arrogance rather than confidence then that is their prerogative and their own issue to deal with.
Love this!! It’s a very good point :)
I love the word
"Nobody is perfect, so fighting for perfection will always keep you running and will distract you attention from what really matters. Your job is to be yourself and give your best"
Thanks for this interesting post
this reminds me of my cousin's line to his girfriend. *I like your perfect inperfection". No one is perfect. I am not perfect but I accept it.
Someone who loves themself is generally a pleasure to be around because they are honest and open about life. Self-obsessed people are annoying to be around and often belittle others, including friends.
Amazing and very interessing post thank you for sharing

I strongly believe that loving oneself would make even better and optimize their works . If you don't love yourself then how could you think that the other people loves you .
For people who say that stop loving yourself I would say that "Don't eat healthy food from now and donate it to the needy people , donate it until to die of starvation"
I hear you on this! Very well said!
My mother is always saying that if I don't love myself, I can't love other people. So, you are right! Loving yourself doesn't mean that you are an arrogant person but the opposite...
Often been told, that I’m arrogant, but people don’t understand that I’m just being me. It’s not that I want to be arrogant, it’s just that when I’m being myself I can’t help certain aspects of myself. I intentionally don’t mean harm to people, but I guess it just happens.
