How to really love me?
You may have grown up in a family environment with parents who themselves felt inadequate and did not know how to give you the gift of love. It is logical, growing up in an environment without having received love from the significant others, which are the parents, to not know how to love yourself and often to abuse them.

What shows that you don't know how to love yourself?

- Perfectionism
It is true that perfectionistic people tend to love themselves less or not at all. They put all their energy into looking perfect and live in anxiety and stress. "Perfect" does not exist, it is only an idea that has been put into our minds since young children.

-You constantly want to be the good boy
Another important reason why you don't have time to love yourself is that you are constantly chasing to please others. You are exhausted and unable to give yourself love. In this way you are constantly giving to others and not to yourself.

-You are constantly comparing yourself to others
This is a habit instilled in us as children. In recent years with the advent of social media and a virtual perfection and projected reality, people are constantly living in comparison. This creates constant anxiety and stress. Gradually the anxiety consolidates, it becomes sadness and often depression.

-You have unreasonable expectations
Being a person with dreams and goals is very beautiful but having irrational beliefs and expectations puts you on a never ending adventure. No one makes your life and your everyday life difficult and you live permanently with the fear of failure.
