of course! it is very important to learn to love yourself before loving anyone else.if you can't love yourself,how can people understand who you really are.and you are not capable of loving someone if you can't learn to love yourself first! that's automatic,my friend! if you find it hard to love yourself,ask God for guidance and learn to love Him with all your heart and i know,by this,you'll know and understand how to love your own self.

yes.. for me it is of vital importance that we love ourselves first before we love another.., How would you learn to love someone if you cannot even love yourself.., right? and if someone you love will hurt you at least you will know which way to go because.., you love yourself and you cannot afford to endure more pain for your own good..

Very important. Loving yourself first will make you a better person inside and out. If you feel good about yourself and take care of yourself, you can be more positive person that can help others around you. Loving yourself is the best way to learn how to love. When you already know how to take care of your own needs and realize your worthiness then you definitely know how to extend that same attention and affection to others.
