Saying that “no-one will love you before you love yourself” is bullshit and paints depressed/ mentally ill people as unlovable for having self esteem issues.

It is totally possible to love someone who doesn’t love themselves and actually it can really help them. What ISN’T helpful is treating them like crap because of maladaptive thinking processes that they can’t even help.

I needed this

My mother tells me this all the time. That no body can love me until I love myself. Do you realize how much stress that puts on someone with mental health? It forced me to falsely love myself when in reality, I hated my body and just everything and anything that was me. So thank you for this. This just gave me comfort and reassurance.

I’ve learned that the best way to love yourself is to not force it. Just be who you are. Be who and what makes you happy, and even is after all that you don’t love yourself,
That’s okay
You are still worth loving
another person can still love you
Another person does/will love you
Just take care of yourself

Hey! So, Coming Out Day is coming up soon (Oct. 11) and I just want to post a very stern reminder to NOT out anyone without their explicit permission.

Do NOT out anyone.

Got it?

Okay.

this is also a less important point, but still worth noting: DO NOT “come out” as an ally. don’t you dare.

Also - don’t feel pressured to come out. You don’t have an obligation to put yourself in an unsafe situation for any reason.
