Love is an intense feeling that is normally felt towards another person. To feel love for someone implies a series of intense emotions: desire, jealousy, affinity and even can be experienced as something painful and contradictory. In any case, there is a variant of this inner passion, self-love.

In a simple way, we could define it as respect towards oneself. It is often said that we will be loved by others as long as we are the ones we love beforehand. For this reason, self-esteem is the essential element of this version of love.
The idea of getting along and loving us as we are is a necessary requirement for love to be projected to others.


The concept of self-love implies that a satisfactory and positive internal dialogue has been established that leads to our personal acceptance. In other words, we accept each other and consequently we want each other. Once this soul balance is achieved, it is possible to speak of self-love.
