I am retired and have no family. I do not know what is right for me anymore. How to know ?

Well it's a good thing i don't have any of that stuff 😅

This gives me the fucking creeps. Its ridiculously self-absorbed. I guess this only works for the ladies.

i used to h ave heavy duty toxic self esteem.. been sober 42 years now and i love myself....to the extent that sometimes i will see myself in a mirror or shop windowsometimes......i look at my reflection with love and respect and i say......dude you are f====== awesome, i know where you have come from. narcissism......nah!!!

Care is basic need to development relationship.

Blessing may nver be deniable.

Passion should have basically it is urgent to grow love in opposite sex.

Absolutely right Madam self feeling confident is essential to do any kind of development of relationship that's the most dominant factor.

Love is always both sides games that's most essential to all,so for everybody should feel that attraction exist or not from both sides or not .

Thank you. ❤️😥❤️

Self compassion is so healing on the amygdala & nervous system

Kristin, I'm a 69-year-old woman who always feared that I would only indulge myself more in unhealthy choices if I wasn't attacking myself vociferously (like my parents did)! I found your TED talk right before your channel & I'm finally willing to try what you recommend! I can't thank you enough for generous sharing of this counterintuitive message & for presenting the physiological hormonal responses to scornful self-talk & compassionate self-talk! After this message I finally feel safer to try this than all the years of therapists cajoling me to try it! I'll pass around the love (your talks) to those I know! Thank you again!🎉

Dear Kristin, I discovered your work on self-compassion quite recently when I realised how harshly I behaved to myself. I also watched a conversation between you and Dr. Chatterjee and I learn a lot about to be kind to myself. I'd like to thank you for your accumulated knowledge that allowed me to give myself the permission to be supportive and compassionate not only to others but also to my very self. Thank you. God bless you.

So great, the message, and love the short, lively, unacademic format 🎉

Hi where is the meditation?

I started self compassion, but I stopped because I felt very overwhelmed.

Life Changing!

Dear Kristen, your book, Selfcompassion, really is my holy grail🥹✨🙏🏻 I grew up with my mother who criticized me a lot, like all the time. I never did something well enough, and her love was conditional really… I just found this out after therapy…. So I had to ‘reset’ the way I see myself, the way I talk to myself, my inner voice and conversations, the pain of not feeling enough, not feeling understood and recognized. Really, your book has helped me so so much, I am finally able to give myself love and compassion, and to be my own mother actually, to give myself the motherly love I wanted and to be the best mother I can be to my own child. You made such a big impact and change in my life. T h a n k Y o u🙏🏻✨🙏🏻✨🙏🏻✨

excited to get started! thank you for this amazing opportunity!

Thank you so much !

Thank you ❤

What a great idea!

It would be so nice if you made a playlist of just your meditations. 🙏💗

Me listening to this to take care of my mentally ill self.

Could you please speak more about the negative bias we have, in the evolutionary perspective and psychologically, so that we understand where does it come from ?

My rational, critical, and individualistic side responds with "Humbug", but my wise, socially-connected and masculinity emotional side understands the great value of this practice - thank you for encouraging me/us to cultivate the latter.

thank you for the email too

Your and Chris’s meditations have been so helpful. Thank you both from the top and bottom of my heart 🙂
