I do agree with this statement.....but yet I do feel that it is more important for me to like myself than it is for others to like me. It is almost like "who cares what others think"...I am the one who is responsible for my happiness and actions not anyone else.

Expecting others to like me puts more of a higher standard on me....what is important to me is that my children, my bf, and my closest friends love me for who I am warts and all.

I used to be the type that worried what others thought of me and then one day the light bulb went off...who really cares what they think? Am I comfortable with who I am or am I trying to please others? Liking myself is more important than looking for approval from others.

You really do bring up such great thought provoking questions. {{{{{{{{{{{Fuzzy}}}}}}}}}}}}
