Love yourself

Whenever I tell my friends that I am lonely, they give me all sorts of advice and reassurances. Though it makes me feel temporarily better, there is one advice which I hate. You might have heard it before, and it does not make sense to me. Love yourself and, things will be better. Yes, I do understand that self-love is essential and stuff. But is it possible to love ourselves when we are at the bottom? We are our worst critics, and we tend to make a comment on all actions. Though we feel good when we accomplish something, we are not that understanding when we make a mistake. Though this might not seem fair, this is the hard truth. Somehow people think that our problems would be solved if we magically give ourselves the pat in the back. They may be right, but I don’t understand how to follow it. Since I love me and my tantrums, this might be my last post.
