The reason I say this is to encourage you not to get bummed out if you don't necessarily know if you love yourself. Concentrating on that is just a negative circle you will get pulled into of wondering why you don't love yourself and hating yourself for it.

Why not just assume that you do love yourself? Same difference and level of assumption, ya know?

I totally agree. Besides, there's gotta be something you love doing. Dancing? Sports? Studying? Arts? Travel? Find something that you can accomplish and that makes you happy and go for it.

Well, if you hate yourself you can find a sexually satisfying relationship, but you'll have trouble having a happy life. From what I understood, he's prioritizing having a happy life instead of getting laid.

When you are happy with yourself, a person will come who is drawn to your happiness. If you are not happy with yourself and put into someone else's hand the key to your happiness, that's not a very solid base for a relationship. It puts a lot of pressure on that person and ultimately we are responsible for our own happiness... always!
