Please Remember this
"If you are unable to love who you are (self) then you will not be able to pass this emotion along to others. This all ties in with self respect and self esteem. For example; if your life or the way you live it, is such a chaotic mess and you have nothing but angst about living the way you do; you will be unable to show anyone else your true feelings for them. I believe you may have love for someone but without being happy with whom you are, it will be nearly impossible for you to properly express the way you feel towards others. Persons that are depressed or have other anxiety issues, have difficulty expressing love for anything, much less another person. You may well know in your heart the way you feel. However; expressing that emotion is much more difficult if you can not even show yourself the love and respect you DESERVE."
