How do you love yourself?

You just respect yourself and treat yourself like you would treat anyone else you care about. Take care of yourself, treat yourself to something nice sometimes and practice keeping a positive mindset (you wouldn't talk negatively and belittling to someone you care about, right?).

Accepting that the ideal moulds of how I should look, who I should find attractive, what I should enjoy and how I should want to live are not me and never will be.

I look like a young Marilyn Manson, I’m asexual, my platonic love for my friends is deeper than what I felt for any partner, hair grows on my toes and I have no interest in ever having kiddies. I wasn’t told I would grow to be this way but I am, and I accept it as none of it is actually a bad thing.

I also focus on my good qualities and personally I’ve found it much easier to do this when I surround myself with good friends who bring out the best in me.

So to start loving yourself I would list out all the things you like about yourself, then all the things you weren’t told to expect about yourself and slowly try to accept them. Finding celebrities with similar characteristics may help (even if, as in my case, they have fallen out of favour).

Good self care.

Self-acceptance, positive self-talk.

Put yourself first, but care enough about others as your own conscience absolving you of any guilt will lead to self-love too.

You do lot of drugs.

Self-acceptance and self-confidence.
