So here goes; I love and accept myself!
BTW; the Poll is multiple choice so that you can choose more than one option.

Honza, but I could not make a vote.
I agree to what you shared in your thread, about the importance of self love, to a point.
From personal experience, I believe that those who suffer from low self-esteem need to build it up to a point of self acceptance. However, self-acceptance can easily be misinterpreted as self-love.
In my opinion, once a person can fully accept their self, they can also no longer need, or depend on, self-esteem anymore to feel okay. They have accepted their self
warts and all, and not just the good stuff.
In this respect, none of the poll choices suited me.
Sorry mate.
