This is the absolute truth. I had been in the same boat most of my life really. I had allowed my depression to take over and became insanely argumentative, mean and was just a nightmare to be around. I couldn't connect with anyone in anyway. When I finally realized what was the issue and took the right precautions to fix my attitude and take control of myself and truly learned to love myself, the first real relationship I found myself in (the one I am still currently in) has been one of the greatest things to ever happen to me. Self love is important in finding any other kind of love.
