i don't think i have a self acceptance problem anymore but used to. i just learned i have to love myself first before i can love others treat others as you'd have them treat you is my motto, it comes easy to me now but it had to be learned as i wasn't accepting myself because of my mental disorder. i am schitzophrenic am people like my family thought i was selfish, but it was the illness that they couldn't accept that being a part of it. i needed long times with myself. as a result of the illness. they do accept me now so it's ok.
