Do you love your self and how much? I believe everybody loves himself the most. It is 'me' who comes first to one no matter whatever the situation or circumstances are. We may say we do this or that for him or for her but reality is different. I earn for myself, carry out duties to remain social in society? I believe everybody does so. What's your say? Don't you love yourself?

i love myself but not in an exaggerated way. Before you can love someone else, we should love ourselves first.

I can`t say that I love myself, because I don`t know what love is. But I do things that ar beneficiari to me.

Jackroy yes I do as Christ said love thy self so that you may know how to l ove others. this is not a selfish love though it is healthy as we owe it to our l oved ones to take care of our selves.how can you take care of children if you do not love yourself enought to eat right,to groom yourself so that you will be proud of yourself and your family will be proud of you too.You love yourself as you help o thers and are kind, and compssionate to all. but this love is self esteem its not s selfish unkind of love at all.

I love myself. But I can not show myself, that I love myself. Because, during this, I often hurt myself. I can not help myself.

I believe that you have to love yourself. you don't have to be conceited to do that. How can we ever expect another person to love us if we can't love ourselves first?

Yes! I love myself, a little bit, but I'm working on it. I think we all need to love ourselves before we can ever love anyone else. I really do. I don't necessarily put myself 110% "first" but I try to respect myself.

Yes I love myself! :) I think that this doesn't necessarily mean that I'm selfish or that I slyly get the bigger share of everything I could lay my hands on. I'm earning anything at the moment, but I am going through certain changes like starting to earn for myself. Right now, I'm struggling to start a freelancing career while juggling other things, but I am having a grand time and not letting myself down! I love myself! I just love everything about me. This is not to that I don't deny that I can pretty bad and nasty. I'm aware of those things, but I'm not making them define who I am anyway. :) Writing for this post made me happy. Thanks for starting it! ;)

i guess i do. whenever we do something, we always ask ourselves "do i want this?"; then we understand that in a lot, if not all, of the things we do we consider self-satisfaction first. we must love ourselves pretty much.
