Being loved or at least desired by someone must be nice (lemmings.world)

If you read my previous post on other place I asked about dating and most responses sounded like it was nice. Yes, I'm aware that relationships are not only good times (I've seen my mother being tired of her partner and scared of my father) but when you have literally NOTHING in your life you can't help to idolising the things you never had...

I don't think that's weird, but it's definitely sad

I entirely disagree that you need to love yourself. More than anything you need to want to work on yourself.

Self-improvement is also an act of self love and acknowledging your flaws helps you better build yourself up so you can better love yourself

If I think I'm a lost cause, why would I even try. Some people think they deserve to feel like shit. But I also agree with you that the desire to not feel like shit is what got me working to feel better. But liking myself is the lube that keeps the whole machine from seizing up into anxiety and depression.
