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.

I hope to find someone like you one day that I could love and this community gives me hope that it may happen, even if its unlikely

[@studylamp3512]

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]

​@@studylamp3512It'll be okay. Remember to love and listen to yourself. Remember that you don't have to be perfect, you just have to be you. Your true self. And embracing it will help you find inner peace. The same way, the people around you, they try their best. Acknowledge their efforts and accept them whole heartedly. They're just like you, trying to be perfect and looking for meaning. Embracing them for who they truly are, instead of looking for perfection will put an end to the wild goose chase you're on. I sincerely hope everything gets better. Sending lots of love and hugs

[@studylamp3512]

@@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.

[@jayvishnuvenkatesh870]

@@studylamp3512 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!

I love the part about how we don’t learn to fully self love in isolation.

Its hard to comprehend for me how someone could be so similar yet so different from me? Its been a year since i have missed the self i created for me, the one i was really proud of and its been two years since i last saw her. 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. Its a meek feeling for me these days, but still its the best i have ever felt.

Love can be a double edged sword, it’s not always simple or easy to give or receive. And when people feel unworthy or struggle with their own self esteem, their craving for love might turn into a sense of desperation or dissatisfaction.

[@monssevelazquezangon3134]

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.

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

[@designingdante]

i learn to not fall for the trap of using pain as fuel, it's too volatile and burns out too quickly. i'm trying to learn that fuel just puts us in movement, but it's up to us to set the direction or face the inevitable wall ahead, 'cuz life is a road with too many curves. part of life is to learn when to fight and to surrender, but another something i learned is that we not only tend to fall for the same traps because we don't know how to identify when it's coming. most of the time it's actually because we don't know our habits the leads us to those traps. i don't know if awareness helps or allows us to overcome an issue faster. often time i feel myself better for knowing what's happening, but clueless on what to do next. it looks like to me that you know what you want from a relationship, but when you realize that your partner doesn't adequate, you catch yourself already emotionally invested. and i'm sorry if i sound arrogant or parasocial here, i'm only saying this because i think it's a good thing to know what you want and all of us set expectations based on what we want, especially when we think we found it. and congrats on the 20k subs. i'm listening the playlist right now 😄

[@carasway_]

Yeah, using pain as fuel is not sustainable, which I've only begun to unravel. Surrendering to emotions but still having the strength to stand back up again when the time is right is definitely something I need to practice more. You're right about the fact that because we don't know our habits, that leads us to those traps, but that's why I think awareness really helps, cos if we're not aware of the patterns, we would never be able to change. I don't think most people know what they need to do next in times of struggle, but I think once you surrender and accept things for what they are, the answer sometimes reveals itself. Thank you for always leaving a comment:) It has been a real pleasure to have you along the journey from when I only had +1k subs! I really really appreciate it🤍

hi dear, just wanted to say this video helped me a lot. it also break me to the pieces, i had to pause the video go to bathroom and cry for half an hour. i watched it once then i watched it again. i think the good part about it is, how seen i felt. your words felt like a hug, like gentle wind on my shoulder. knowing that i know my problems, i know where my scars are, knowing everything because i am too self aware feels like punishment sometimes. but being loved is being known right. everyday i am trying to love myself better, the same love that i am willingly give to everything around me. i am trying to reach out more instead of isolating myself, i am trying to hold my own hands in the days everything feels wrong. i cried a lot in this video but at the same time it helped. so thank you, i hope you know how many people feel seen and understood thanks to you. sending you lots of love

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.

This was exactly what I needed right now.

[@jamisonburton7598]

Thank you for this video. I found myself tearing up as I heard what my heart has been aching to say. I needed to hear this on this morning. Thank you for being vulnerable and honest with yourself and sharing that with the rest of us!

[@diyakawafaeq]

This video felt like a hug. Thank you for making it.

[@remo.neilwe]

[@humnaytuizuihnaobuonthayte3716]

This’s definitely what i need rn 😭😭😭 The feeling of betrayal to all the process i made before hit me so hard that I barely can not understand anything. Tysm for being here, in an exactly time that i need this the most. So happy and grateful for you to overcome all of this and then spreading the messages for people out here ❤

[@IDyani261]

The visuals, the sound, the overall delivery of this beautiful message was just so amazing 🥲. Thanks for sharing ❤️

[@TheReturn26]

I am glad you. Yes you!! are living here in this moment with me. Bless you!

[@333Kandis]

This video speaks so dearly to me, and gets at the core of my soul. Thank you for your words of wisdom and encouragement. You should be a therapist if that isn’t your current position ❤

[@fa.athyma]

Ohh God this is so me😭 this video helps me to release who Iam I and what i really need tysm🥹🌷

[@puca3569]

Hey you probably won't see this. I am so thankful to stumble upon this video. It probably wasn't easy to share these vulnerable stories and feelings. I feel less alone thanks to this video. Thank you.

[@fiammasany]

I wanted to thank you for this. Is something so magical the fact that you can speak about something so private and singular to you, and yet, be able to form a direct connection to a total stranger, like me. I feel like every single one of your sentences could be mine, and I found this video during a really low period in my life, I believe I'm in the "shame chapter" right now, but I feel so strangely grateful that this video exists, that someone knows how it all feels, and I am so proud of you, even though we don't know each other. Feels like a gift.

Lots of love to you🫂🩷

[@rynkebartholomeus5552]

wow past couple of months I have been struggling with exactly the same challenges, I could not put it into words how I was feeling or why I was feeling this way. But this truely opened up so much for me, thank you for sharing your vulnerability I appreciate it a lot

[@nellie5607]

wow found this video randomly and subscribed! What an honest and beautiful video, also loved seeing the city i lived in before documented like this, made me miss it a lot

[@nadiaescott]

this touched me so deeply. i don’t think i’ve ever felt heard in this way & you explained and visualized it perfectly. thank you❤

[@jeffreyou19]

this is a beautiful work of art, it makes me happy how articulate and in touch with your emotions you are. Your work has undoubtedly made a significant impact to myself and others who resonate with your words and are moved by your cinematography. Thank you so much for creating this video and creating an environment to be vulnerable, you have a beautiful soul ❤

[@charisroussel]

wow, this really hit hard. i recently had lost a state competition i worked really hard for and i was overwhelmed with the frustration in losing because i have such high standards for myself. hearing you say to not only love the parts of ourselves we are proud of and instead loving our weaknesses really reassured me i don't have to constantly be perfect. thank you so much.

[@Cherrycreamsoda1]

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 ❤

[@hamzajunaid8128]

this was such beautifully done, i am in awe. this is my fav video on KZbin

[@rahulratwatte107]

I’ve arrived at a very similar head space in life recently and it was really nice to see someone else’s journey to this peaceful state of my mind. Also love the editing, felt so real.

[@Shahdha22]

Your filming and editing skills are incredible your voice was also so calm and warm i really enjoyed the video and wished it was longer keep going!

[@chitritahazra622]

Cried the whole 9mins...your words soothes my soul... It is really it is what I have been looking for years🖤

[@lameart2041]

Thank you for this video. I need this and had made me understand a lot of things though it will take time. I thought I loved my self after getting dumped from 6 years relationship and move on to another love but I never actually fully loved myself, I was insecure about myself and just like that I also saw my confidence crumbling down about the other person and suffocated him, till few minutes ago I kept blaming myself for losing this man but after watching this I realised I just needed to love myself the same way I loved him , only then if I ever find love again I’ll be able to healthily love the other person. Now I’m focusing more on self development and face all my insecurities and get rid of self pity and come to acceptance that my parents are death and I’m an orphan but whatever I have right now is a blessing from god and I need to cherish and accept it without thinking how would it be if I had parents. I will work on accepting that it is what it is now, I cannot keep looking back and wish for parents, I will work on accepting reality and work on myself and be a confident and self loving lady. It’s not too late I’m just 23, and I can do it. Thank you so much for this video, it gave me a sense of reality. I’ll love the life I have now and work on making it better and beautiful and live a happy life

[@lichiplan5684]

I've never thought someone in this world struggles with deep emotions as I. Thank you for this great content! It was nice to hear these words. I realised that I have to acknowledge that I am sad and lonely. That, I don't have to rush it all the way down. I needed to feel and go throught my emotions and not hide it or rush it under the surface. Thankss!

[@kzzo77]

i clicked on this video on a whim and am glad I did, you put everything I've felt so beautifully and real. thank you genuinely

[@emchanboromey2845]

You don’t know how much this video meant to me Ms. Cara, with all the things you’ve said, it matches all of my situation and I’m just so happy that there’s someone who understand how it’s like. You’ve saved me from spiraling, everytime I feel down I would regularly come back to this video to watch it. Thank you for sharing this beautiful content, I feel like I understand more about self love now. I still failed to do so occasionally but this video keeps me going.

[@carasway_]

I’m glad that it helped in some way💗take care!!
