I think you can learn to love yourself with all your strengths and weaknesses. We each have talents to share with others. It is helpful to try new things so you can see what you are good at. Some people are great speakers, and others are great listeners. The world need both types of people. I like to play the piano but get me on a ski slope, and I freeze up. I've learned to accept my gifts and limitations because it is a healthier mindset for me.

you don't, but it's healthy to search for yourself, because when you realize this "self" does not exist in a permanent way, and that all things, pain and happiness pass, it's easier to let go of the bullshit we tell ourselves that keeps us in misery, I need to go back to that search again myself, as I have allowed things to get to me again.

I love me because of who I am and where I come from. Now to some folks it might have to do with your view of your surroundings and how you feel about life in general. I try to be grateful for what I have. I would imagine your level of happiness and pleasure would play a part in your feelings as well. Good question

I don't believe there is such a thing as loving yourself. I think that a made up bullshit psychobabble thing.
I think you can respect yourself and treat yourself as well as possible but I think love it to be given and received and I don't think you can really do that for yourself to be totally honest. Not really anyway. Not the kind of love you need.
