5 Reasons To Learn To Love Yourself
thought catalog

Most people, especially women, have something they dislike about themselves. However, there are many reasons that they should learn to love themselves and see the beauty in themselves. Beauty is not always looks. Beauty is everything that a person is made up of, and more.

1. Confidence Is Attractive

People can tell when you are self-conscious and it often makes them feel uncomfortable, whereas when you are confident they usually see the way you glow with happiness. Confidence attracts others, so you won't be lonely. Being confident always makes others feel confident about you.

2. Loving Yourself Relieves Stress

If you feel good about yourself, you won't always be stressed about whether you look good enough. You will actually have the time to enjoy whatever it is you are doing. Lets be honest, what's not to love about yourself?

3. You Cannot Truly Love Anyone Unless You Learn To Love Yourself

If you can't even treat yourself right, how can others believe that you will treat them right. You cannot care for others if you are in too poor of "health." You have to care for yourself in order to care for others. Part of caring for yourself is loving and believing in yourself, and part of that is feeling beautiful and confident in yourself.

4. When Picking Apart Yourself, You Will Pick At Others Very Harshly.

Say you think you have large ears, you meet another person with the same size ears as you but they have a larger head, you will say to yourself "but they have huge ears," but in reality their ears are perfectly normal. When you pick at yourself, you tend to pick at others. So instead of picking out the things you dislike about yourself pick out the things you like.

5. If You Learn To Love Yourself Day To Day Life Will Be Easier Than Before

If you are happy with yourself, life will simply be smoother. You won't feel as if everyday drags on. You will be able to come at life with a much more optimistic point of view. If you learn to love yourself, life will simply be better.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
