Is self-love the same as narcissism?

By

Do you feel unlovable? Have you ever said “I love myself?”

Loving ourselves, or self-love, is a practice alien to most of us because it’s often confused with being narcissistic and egocentric. Loving ourselves is actually one of the healthiest things we can do for ourselves. It can literally change our lives.

When we’re narcissistic or egocentric, we think the world revolves around us. We’re mostly concerned with ourselves instead of being concerned with others. On the other hand, when we practice self-love we learn to adore ourselves so we can adore others in the same manner. We learn to support ourselves so we can support others. Self-love heals ourselves allowing others around us to reap the benefits. more goodness …
