Get out of the house everyday and go interact with people. No book is going to teach you to love yourself. You need attention from other people. You need success in romance. Life has to be lived. You can read about it till the cows come home, and - in the end - you will have learned nothing.

I completely get what you're saying, but I feel in order to be successful in romance that I need to learn to love myself first. It's a chicken and egg situation I guess.
I feel that seeing a therapist is the same as reading self help books, it's all about improving your wellbeing, but I totally get what you mean about ending up to immersed in stuff instead of living for the now. I just find it a comfort sometimes and I don't know how to start loving myself, so I need some guidance.
