To love yourself, first you'll have to experience love from another person. Because you can't feel love without knowing what it is. Instead of loving yourself it should be "I'm loved and then I'm able to love" other way it would be narcissism.

I used to struggle with identity a lot and here’s what I would suggest: talk to other people, observe the world around you. If you only think and keep thinking about you are, you will never find out who you are. You will find yourself in the world around you because action and choice define who we are, not thoughts and intentions. We as humans don’t even know ourselves in our entirety, others see habits and quirks we may not even realize. That is ok, it is very normal and a sign of healthy confidence. As one who dealt with crippling loneliness it was hard to find a way forward and to feel somewhat understood, especially with a lack of social skills from a life of isolation, but I found my way out of the pit. Edit: in other words he’s thinking too much about it.

[@irie169]

We have a subject at school which tackles the self and encourages personal growth. The dialogue of Shinji here was the very same topic and lines that were being discussed to us. I'm not going to sugarcoat it, every word that our professor speaks always manage to shake the thoughts I have towards myself and my perception upon reality. I haven't yet finished this particular subject, nor the anime "Evangelion", but by the time I do, I hope I become a better person than how I am today. I hope. I can only hope.

[@Rarnabyrat14]

Shinji you will never know who you truly are as humans are forever changing. We are social creatures that fluctuate from person to person. Everything that other people think about you is you whether it's true of not because it is your existence in this world which makes you, you. No two people can ever understand one another as everyone thinks differently as they all have different perspectives and experiences. No two people are exactly the same. You don't have to understand yourself to love yourself. The more you try to overanalyse the sadder you become. Love yourself for this is the only person you will be throughout your whole life. This is the body which you have been given for the short period of time. (Sorry if I'm bad at explaining you'll probably understand my comment in a different way I intended for it to be understood anyway as only I could possibly understand what I meant. You will understand this comment to your own regards whether that be positive or negative.)

[@Xx-Dani_Weird_pixie-xX]

I have just watched two episodes of Evangelion just because an ex-friend watched it, i am more a manga reader than an anime watcher. The only thing i can comment about this video is...Emptyness. Not get me wrong, i am not depressed, i am in a beautiful mental state, however, i don't have anymore desires and ambitions, i am so socially awkward and i have a very negative mindset...I know i just said i am happy, happy but in a sad way, i know is strange. Is like i can have a smile on my face but having my day ruined by negative thoughts. So this video hits me because, i am very sorry for many things of my life, i can't love myself fully. I was thinking about, before wathcing this video, a past relationship, an abusive one, where i was the abuser...I can't forgive myself about this, i can't love myself for what i did, i can't. I hope the victim can love himself and i hope him the greatest love he can encounter. But i have so much, so much pain unexpressed, i can smile but is a smile done more for hiding myself and telling myself is all Ok, i am happy, but in a sad way. I am so sorry for all of you, for the ones reading this, i hope you the best, i hope you self-kindness and i hope you to feeling well in the near future. Love from the universe and God.

[@drs-fon-s6579]

You may not know yourself right now, but you probably will at some point. Of course it's not easy at all and requires a lot of work with yourself. Working with yourself and trying to explain the meaning and motivation behind your actions is vital to learn yourself and actually reach true peace and happiness. It is like a mountain. Climbing in the top is hard, but the view is better from the top. Don't worry and take your time.

[@JustARandomTrain]

it's funny, i was extremely self conscious for as long as i can remember, and since having adapted the viewpoint of treating myself as if i were someone else, giving myself the same expectations, understanding and compassion that i would give someone else has been a major relief, alienating my viewpoint from myself has allowed me to make a friend of myself, of course, do not give up on your ambitions, but give yourself the same leniency and patience that you would another, i hope this helps whoever needed it

If yall are in this era of your life of feeling lost with in oneself in an infinite universe should start learning about Buddhism, Christianity, philosophy, psychology. It helps the brain concentrate on more so the experience of life rather than life happening to you. It will start to shift your perspectives. I actually did some mushrooms not enough to have visual hallucinations but enough to definitely feel it and I had this epiphany that I have never said “I love you” to myself because for my entire life but more so my early teenage years and up to 23 years old now I’ve just felt like I didn’t deserve to be loved. I lost some friends girls didn’t really look at me. I was the shortest kid throughout all my years of school until senior year when I finally grew but anyway, I said it. I said I love you to myself with intent and I meant it when I said. It made me cry. Needed it. And then started laughing a little. It felt like for the first time I wasn’t at odds with myself and I finally became friends with the one person I needed the most. It’s like I forgave myself for the way I treated myself. I wish I could tell you to take mushrooms once or twice and your life would be better(they very well might) but THERE IS A LOT that goes into it. Not something you just “try” it’s meant to be a big deal because it is a big deal. So please be careful everyone and remember to learn, care for others, but to always care for yourself like your someone you are responsible for. Hope y’all find some peace in your mind. ❤

Adding on to this, someone, somewhere, will eventually understand you. Maybe not even eventually, maybe soon. Human experiences are rarely entirely unique and there's way more people going through something like what you are than you'd expect.

[@movealongplease6891]

Sometimes it feels like I love myself out of pure spite, for myself and for the rest of the world. Take that element of spite away, of inherent resistance against my own wrongness, and what am I? Probably someone who cannot show love under peaceful circumstances. There needs to be pressure to do it. Not that that’s inherently a bad thing. I think we all need some kind of war to fight. I just made sure to have this war with myself, in a way that I hope is mostly constructive, and not as destructive to myself and others as it can be. But I cannot gauge destruction…

[@bokshunguy]

the moral lesson and understanding of Evangelion, in order to love himself, shinji finally finds out that he must stop running to be dependent on others just as others are dependent on him, like asuka and misato, causing everyone in this cooperation to learn more about themself so they know who they are and then they can be loved and understanding, this is how shinji finally learned to love himself, how asuka's mother was always there and to not be independent and egotistical, and for rei to finally be human more and feel what it is to be a mortal in this world after adjusting to reality, which is the influence of everyone. THIS is the moral lesson teached at the end of Neon Genesis Evangelion, for the people that never understood.

[@MasterChef1957]

Humans have a hard time at self reflection it is so bad you could fully understand someone else before you even know who you are. So try to find yourself and if their is nothing to find search for it. You may not know it yet but their is something out their your going to love and it doesnt have to be a person. It could be a food, collectables, a hobby, your job even if your lucky, hell gambling, hiking, or even just reading a book. Their are so many things to try in this world you can atleast start from their by finding out what you like and dont like its about finding out what you want and neex how you want things to be and how you act and present yourselc when not thinking. It is mastering ones instincts something we all have. But our years of "societal domestication" has made it hard for us to even understand what they feel like. Trust me they are their and once you feel them learn to control them and they will lead you to what you like and away from what you hate
