Self acceptance for me would be the ability to drown out all the negative self talk and self hate I have learned through the years. I'd like to forget the insults and lies that were told to me from my abusers. Self Acceptance would be the ability to hear a compliment and not think there is a motive behind it or actually believe that the compliment was given honestlY. Self love/self acceptance/self esteem is elusive at times, instead of the ten things I did right I focus on the thing I did wrong. It will take a long time to undo what has been negatively engrained but I am working on it. I will be interested to read how others find or manage self acceptance, Thanks for this thread
