What is this thread all about?
Just a place for general discussion. A place to unload whats on your mind and talk about anything - personal, health, help needed, achievements, daily highs and daily lows, theories, predictions and what have you.
Does not need to be Q related.
No, the idea is that if we dont love ourselves, we are broken and we will break others around us. Its got nothing to do with being loved by others.
Very simplistic examples:
Parent who doesn't love themselves will push their kids to achieve what they perceive they should have achieved, in the process teaching those kids that they are not lovable as they are.
Person who does not love themselves seeks extreme validation from their spouse creating a toxic relationship.
Most narcissistic / co-dependant toxic relationships are the direct result of people not being able to love themselves as they are.
I am not to keen on who I am but I am not broken or even fractured, as you say, its just an idea. As for breaking others around us if we don't love ourselves, not true.
They might try to mend you out of love for you and quite possibly succeed. Why do you discount other peoples love? It not an abstract intellectual exercise or idea, it is real.
