Do you love your self or others

Like from few days i am thinking about my self and i have found out that i am actually not loving my self and loving others caring others and they even don't care for me at all. So do you guys think i am doing the right thing. Do you guys care people more then your self ? or you just care for your self ?

" Love your neighbor as you love yourself". I guess most people love themselves though we said we didn't. Feeding ourselves with nice and yummy foods, buying clothes, go to the doctor if we are sick, and more things that we are doing for ourselves only showed that we love ourselves. It is very important too that we love and care for others. Because, in this world we can't stand alone, though we can tell that we don't need them because you can work yourself, yet, time will come that you will need others. I believe in the saying that " let us be a vessel for God's blessings to overflow". By caring and loving others we let ourselves to be used by God to show His goodness to other people. For example, you see somebody that needs your help and you helped him/her, I am sure that person will thank God that you are around that time he/she needs help. By helping them, they will glorify God and God will continue to bless you and that's my belief. Besides, it is hard to love other if you didn't even love yourself. So, it must start with us loving ourselves before we can give it to others.

Well I think one should love himself and as well as the others because sharing love among others will create best relationship

They say how can others love you if you dont even love your self. I think its right. I love myself that's why I always act to the way the people will respect me and love me. I want them to show that Im not a person they can mess around with. By loving yourself you give them the warning like " dont mess with me". Of course you act in a nice way. but dont love people like you love them more than your self.

When I was younger I have this thinking that I should give love to others than myself. I was raised to be more compassionate towards others. The school values instilled in us the discipline and self sacrifice for the good of the others. But as I grow older, I have learned that it is better to love your own self first for how can you love others when you don't love your own self first.

some of us so overly indulge in caring about others that we don't have time left for taking care of ourselves.this is true especially in case of a female with a family.she has so many responsibilities and family members to take care of that she never finds a single minute for herself and even if someone is trying to make out few minutes for herself,she is rather taunted for it. but its not right.we do need to take care of ourself to take care of others too.

i do think I care for others more than i care for myself, but it's not a good thing. I think one has to care of themselves too. I mean you should learn to love yourself. There's this saying, "love yourself and the world will love you". I really think this is true. If you don't love, care and respect for yourself, no one will too!!

I think you are thinking too deep about this. How if we say like this - do your work properly , never betrayed others and learn to take care of yourself. This shows that you love yourself and you don't want to be in problem .When you try to love others and often helps them when they need us , you love them too. In my opinion , love yourself first before you love others. Take care my friend

I think,we must love first ourselves,so we will be able to learn to love others. And for you to be loved by others,we must learn to love our ownselves. But sometimes we cant control the love we give to others and tend to forget ourselves .and if that things happen,it is still best to use both heart and mind.
