There are two invaluable things I've taught myself.. one is the quote in your first sentence. The second one is that when people hurt you in the infinite ways they find to do that, it has nothing to do with you and everything to do with themselves. People don't hurt you because you deserve to be hurt, they hurt you because they are hurt in some way from their past. If you can convince yourself of that, it will hurt less. It will also help you understand why people do what they do.

Sometimes I feel like having hope is like a bandaid on that desire,... And that desire only keeps on festering.. I have moments where I take the bandaid off, go through the pain of believing that it will never happen for me,... And temporarily, I experience seasons of being okay with being alone. Until probably someone starts pursuing me, and for a minute I feel wanted and those desires come flooding in. I get desperately attached very first, and usually I am the one who turns them down because mostly the values I want are usually lacking. But then again.. I have to go through the painful experience of being okay by myself again😢. Atp, I feel like I'll not even give anyone space to pursue me anymore. I am more at peace alone and without having all those desires aroused only to hurt me again😢

@@jayvishnuvenkatesh870 I appreciate your message. But you have assumed that I am looking for perfection.To clarify the reason as to why I do end things... Considering that we live in a hook up culture, most people want sex very first. There is no patiece to know each other well.I am not looking for perfection but it's important for one to have values, and not compromise themselves just to be with someone. Because in my opinion and from my experience, it takes time to really know someone for who they are. Having sex with them very early no matter how appealing they might appear to be, is not wise but a potential recipe for undesirable outcomes. For example you might learn that it's all they were after when you are already attached. Or they aren't who they portrayed themselves to be. Or find out things about them that are absolute deal breakers for you. So, I am better of alone than risking any of these. Just see how f'd up society is as a consequence of casual sex.

@@Foi_Wanyeki It comforts me that we have the same values. My bad for assuming stuff, as you said, it's very hard to find someone today that knows sex is nothing about a relationship, especially ones that are really young. With your values, all you have to do is wait. Your person isn't going to be born after this, they're already waiting for you. Looking for you, and awaiting the moment you guys run into each other. That's going to be one of the best moments in both of your lives. Until that person arrives, why don't you take care of yourself good, because I know that they won't like it if you've been harsh on you, and neglecting yourself. So, do them (and you) a favor and appreciate yourself, and embrace. As the video says, embracing yourself - good and bad, is the only true way to be self loved. It takes time, a hell lotta time. But it does happen. And it's one of the best things ever. Happy that you replied, have a wonderful day friend!

And you made me realise, especially the part where you spoke that i didnt realise what i made for myself was so delicate, that perhaps that delicate self was due to partial acceptance of me, because i was shy of my shameful parts. Obviously life is a process and i might reach there or higher or lower someday but I'd always crave that feeling of being happy with myself.

Been struggling with my self-worth for a few weeks. Like in the video, it crept up and came as a shock because of all the effort and work I've done over the years to accept myself, or so I thought. I'm in constant anxiety and self- pìty seeking for validation and the desperate need for someone to love me. I felt my life falling apart, I'm without a steady income, haven't found a job, I'm a mom to a beautiful 3 y.o. and feel less productive as before, my marriage is at such a vulnerable point, and I just saw myself as a common factor, so I decided I'm the problem. And all that "work" I had done just crumbled. I've been seaking for something to explain to me what is going on, something that would help me and found nothing to comfort me. Then I came upon this video and it felt like sunshine, like something warm and kind, it all resonated with me deeply. I'm not alone, we are not alone and maybe that's the comfort that I needed, a little push to "keep showing up" for myself, and be compassionate with all of me. Thank you.

I've spent the past months in this period, the one of self-reflection, isolation, learning to love myself in ways that I now see may be somewhat shallow. I still harbour resentment, still feel venomous comments that'll never be spoken bubble up inside me though I tell myself it was for the best, that they did me a favour. I haven't broken the hermetic seal on my self--improvement journey yet and this video makes me realise breaking that seal will bring on a whole new set of trials but, screw it. I might not love all of myself, but I love a lot more of myself than I did before. Who can ask for anything more?

When you mentioned that you only loved the parts of you that you're proud is such a great insight that many of us can relate to. A lot of self help information revolves around taking the steps necessary to reach your goals so you can ultimately feel happy. As much as I feel this advice helps a lot of people, you have rightly pointed out that just focusing on and praising your achievements/highs leaves little room for loving the other, less desirable, parts of you. Loving yourself unconditionally puts you on a path to anti-fragility, where one cannot just withstand a shock, but actually improve from it. Great video, love from Scotland

I've realized this too. I think "I could love myself if I simply had control over my life and how I act, if I never let myself falter in front of people" but then I have to remind myself. I don't exist in a vacuum, I can't pretend like this world won't change or shift me, because it will. Instead, I can accept myself as a person, with flaws and insecurities that may never go away, and I think within the capacity to love flaws itself is what helps you to truly see that in other people too. I think that's what I have been missing honestly. So thank you. This helped me.

I have played this video on loop for I don't know how long. I fell back into my old feelings just last night and couldn't stop shaking and frantically searching for a way out until I found this video. This video encompassed everything I had felt and saw inside of myself. Three days ago I lost someone who I put so much of my love into. I had been in relationships before, but this one I enjoyed so much I began to lose my confidence and small out of fear. Thank you for making me not feel alone

this is the best video i’ve seen on youtube. i am sobbing right now because this is exactly what i’m going through. for some reason i can give grace and compassion to everyone else but can’t seem to do it for myself. i was told inner child healing will help me so i’ll see. definitely saving this video to watch again and again

i was in the turmoils of a short relationship when you posted this and now after the breakup what you have created showed me how much i lock my emotions inside just like the little girl in me did. he told me i was too clingy physically i felt unloved now this video made me realize how much love i needed to give to my inner child especially in a relationship. how i need to ground myself in having a separate identity that’s different from my partner and it’s perfectly okay. how it’s perfectly ok to feel deeply about everything and in the long run how beautiful pain can be. he may not have loved me but i would have loved that clingy girl who just wanted to be held everyday and be listened to with an open heart

I am missing the warmth of love and her being my side, I know future holds beautiful things but the guilt and remorse of losing such a pure beautiful soul is eating me day by day. I know no one will ever match that level of comfort and love that I had and hope to have with her in future. Looking for answers and reading all those similar stories in the internet, talking to friends and having a nice time with your go to gang is all temporary comfort and honestly I am getting a sick of it too now. I fucked up big time and its killing me every second. I don't why I am writing this and at this point I don't even wanna delete it.

Glad youtube brought me here, your insights are wonderful. It's crazy how well you can put my thoughts into words. I'm not quite through chapter 3 in my own life, but this gives me hope things will get better

It’s so cool to see someone who lives in England too (though you make it look much more glamorous with your amazing videography :)) I’m 24 and I feel like a nobody. I’m just starting again. I’m battling depression after loss and trying to restart my education (though it’s not easy), and self love is so hard at this point is so difficult I’d rather not think about myself at all. But what you said about self compassion is definitely true - even if I can’t love myself yet, I can still set boundaries and allow myself the space to heal without feeling guilty about it. I always fantasise about being in a relationship even though I’ve never been able to find one but I know that’ll be impossible until I can find inner peace. Great video ❤

At chapter 3, you said everything i am out of this damaged heart. A perfectionist. I think now that i never was a perfectionist. Maybe that was the "old me" trying to say to stop refusing my pain. Well, i think i'm not the only one who was trying to refusing this and just believed beeing this person that i actually never was. That was just my pain talking, not me. Sorry if my english is a little bit confused, i'm still learning. By the way, great video! Hello from Brazil!

Our worlds couldn't be more different, and yet the things you've said describe me like nothing ever has done before. I thought i was alone in thinking this way, and i didn't even know how much overwhelming joy there is to be felt when you find someone like yourself. I'm so so thankful that i decided to click on this random video. Thank you Cara! And yes, i cried.
