So true. You have to get to know yourself to start appreciating yourself. We always want and try to get to know others, but never do we usually start to get to know ourselves, who we are alone. What we like, what we don't like, how certain things make us feel, etc. I'd say we need to flip the tables and focus on getting to know ourselves first and foremost and not just other people. The interesting thing is that when you start to get to know yourself you start establishing a self-definition and characteristics like self-confidence and self-love naturally start developing. Then these petty thoughts and worries of whether someone else likes us or not start fading away.

Thanks for the great post! :)
