“The most terrifying thing is to accept oneself completely.” a famous saying by Carl Gustav Jung, the founder of analytical psychology and psychiatrist.
Today, you see, it has become difficult to love ourselves only, in our true nature. As we are living in the world of social media, with so much distraction, where everyone is trying to compare one another and pretending to be the best version of themselves in beauty, skills, attitudes, qualifications, and confidence, it has become crucial to just try and stop thinking about others and focus on oneself, self-love or self-care.
If you don’t take care of your own being, then who will? Those who do not take care of themselves become vulnerable to negativity and negative projection of others onto them. They feel they are being the target, feel dominated by others, and sometimes feel left out in a crowd full of people. But if you are self-loved, you improve your confidence, you can stand for your own self-worth, and can accept any challenge from any person around you, but first, it is important to learn how to love yourself.
