Clinical depression over here [waves]. I’ve been depressed and loved others, but have not felt worthy of any returned affection.

I don’t care about loving myself. I’m just friends with benefits with myself.

When you think someone would have to be crazy to love you you’re not going to do that well romantically.

It’s possible. Some are super altruistic, think little of themselves but have much love for others.

I don’t actually agree with this sentiment.

Sometimes being with a partner can help you love yourself more. The right partner can be with you through your low times, and support you through your depression.

And you can do the same for them.

That’s, IMO, so much of what being in a relationship is about. If you have to wait until you’re over your ■■■■ or you love yourself, you may be alone for the rest of your life, and you will miss out on all of the good that comes from connection with another.

Think about it – your platonic friends don’t expect you to love yourself in order to be friends with you, so why should your lover/partner?

…Have you been watching Drag Race, @Three?

RuPaul always says that at the end of every episode.

This is true, as well.

Sometimes it takes another person to bring out the best in yourself and make you realize all the good stuff.

It’s also in the song of RuPaul ‘can I get an amen’.

Ru is amazing.

If I had to choose three people from any century to have dinner with, they would definitely be on my list.

Agreed. Jimmy Kimmel took the summer off and Ru Paul was one of the guest hosts and was hilarious!

There are clips of it on YouTube.

Off topic – did he let Matt Damon host again? Did you see that one – “Jimmy Kimmel Sucks”? He was tied to a chair the whole time. Super funny!

No, I didn’t see any show with Matt Damon hosting this summer but Kimmel constantly makes remarks about Matt Damon at the end of the show, I’m aware of the joke between them, lol

It was actually a few years ago. You can probably YouTube it, if you were interested. It’s hilarious!

I agree with you @Three

I need to be very careful not to do that again.

Because when I don’t love myself,

My confidence is low

And I can’t be very emotionally available

In love relationships.

It’s just not right.
