For the world to love you and respect you, you need to love yourself and respect yourself too.
Do you think you’re good company?
Would you like spending time with someone who’s just like you?
Try to find your own weaknesses and change your life with these pointers on how to love yourself.
Be truthful while assessing your flaws because you alone can change your life.

Stop focusing on your negative aspects and focus on the aspects you’re good at. We’re all human and all of us have our own flaws and good sides, whether it’s seen by others or not. By only acknowledging the negative side, you’re forgetting the wonderful side that can actually be shared with others. [Read: How to be happy in life all the time]
