Sometimes you think that you love yourself but in truth you really don’t! This becomes evident by the ways that you treat yourself. Every action you take shows whether you love yourself or not!
The behaviour patterns that you adopt in every day life can often show others that you don’t love yourself.
You stay in “toxic relationships”
If you persist in living with a relationship situation where the treatment you receive is less than you deserve it shows that you don’t really love yourself.
You are in control of this because people cannot respect you or treat you better if they continually see you accepting poor treatment from others.
Why would you make excuses when someone treats you poorly if you love yourself?
You Don’t Forgive Yourself
If you forgive everyone but yourself this is the first step in proving that you don’t love yourself. We are not perfect and we don’t always get things correct. If this describes you then it is important that you remind yourself to forgive yourself for these things.
You Don’t Give Yourself Compliments
I believe that it is important to compliment yourself, appreciate your abilities, your strengths and your gifts / talents
It is quite simple - if you don’t give yourself compliments you are not loving yourself as you should!
You Don’t Accept Compliments
Accepting compliments when they are given is a sign of self love.
A lot of people have the habit of downplaying compliments that others give them, they often do not believe the nice things that people are saying about them. I have heard people say “they don’t mean that, they are telling me untruths!”
You Refuse To Please Yourself In Order
To Please Others
You should not constantly live to please other people at the expense of your own personal well being.
Putting yourself first and looking to your own safety is a sign of self love don’t sacrifice your own happiness in order to make other people happy!
You Criticise / Look Down On Yourself
Nobody is faultless and if you are continually finding fault with yourself you are displaying to the world that you don’t love yourself.
Using phrases such as the following show a lack of self love
I am dull
I am ugly
Nobody loves me
I am stupid
These are not the words of someone who loves who they are.
You Don’t Take Care Of Yourself
Nothing says “I don’t love myself” louder than not taking care of yourself mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually.
Do you sleep well? Do you eat well? Do you exercise? Do you make efforts to look good?
If you don’t look after yourself and treat your body well you c, annot be your best and you body will soon begin to complain. It is the only one you have, LOOK AFTER IT!
You Don’t Invest In Yourself
If you don’t make an effort (or efforts) to improve yourself in each and every aspect of your life it demonstrates that you really don’t love yourself.
Personal Development is crucial to having a good quality of life!
No amount of time and money spent is too much to ensure that you are the best version of yourself.
You Make Excuses for Weaknesses
There are no perfect human beings but we owe it to ourselves to stop justifying our flaws and weaknesses
Self love is actually about understanding your strengths and weaknesses and the maximising your strengths and working on your weaknesses. For example instead of justifying you anger issues and blaming everyone else, stop making excuses and blaming others, take responsibility and begin to seek to change.
You Have Self Destructive Behaviours
If you have habits that put your life and / or sanity at risk they demonstrate that you really do not love yourself.
Examples are:- using drugs, drunk driving, unhealthy eating and unprotected sex.
These clearly show the value that you place on yourself.
One wrong decision can ruin your entire life!
