"You have to learn to love yourself before you can love someone else or change your relationship for better."
This may sound strange to us because we feel what has loving yourself got to do with loving others generally and relationship wise...
It's Simple; Propagating self-love and self acceptance helps us to understand other feelings or emotions. We might hate ourselves because of our past life which we have refused to let go then people close or non close suffers the pain, reject and aggression because you feel you can't be forgiven because of your past or you can't be loved. This scars creates the illusion "I don't love myself so I don't expect someone else to."
Learning to love yourself is easy although it may seem difficult to us but it isn't.. Sharing of problem or talking about your past helps you get over it and start loving things around you..
My Advice thus:
In this situation like I earlier said in the paragraph above, a saying goes thus "problem shared is half solved" but I don't think it stops there it's half solved when it's been shared to the right and wise person.....
You might think I have misquoted that common quote? but no it's called modification of the post. Well I'll answer the question!!
Note: I said if shared with the right person because such person would know what to tell you that would help you feel relieved due to his/her soothing words. You'll understand how such words help when someone tells you "Relax dear, You're going to be ok, You're worth loving."
It goes a long way in helping you get over your past and start loving yourself.........
Conclusion
Let's go in a relationship with someone we would gain something from not only material things but in terms of advice,care and understanding.... Most especially someone who would make you realise that loving yourself is very essential........
