Love myself? Is that even possible?
Originally appeared online in the teen series Q&A - August 9, 2022.
Q: Everyone is always talking about how you should love yourself. But sometimes I feel like, How is that even possible?
A: I know what you mean. Sometimes it seems like it’s really hard to love ourselves, and I think that’s because of the things we tell ourselves about ourselves.
Now, most of us probably know we shouldn’t tell lies or spread rumors about other people. But sometimes I think we do listen to, or tell, not-so-nice stories about ourselves. “I’m not fast enough.” “I’m not smart enough.” “I’m not . . . something enough.”
