Watch the video, then read the short writing.
*****
It has become something of a cliche' to observe that if we do not love ourselves, we cannot love anyone else. This is true enough, but it is only part of the picture. If we do not love ourselves, it is almost impossible to believe fully that we "are loved by someone else." It is almost impossible to "accept love". It is almost impossible to "receive love". No matter what our parents and the rest of our family do to show that they care, "we do not experience the devotion as convincing because we do not feel loveable to ourselves".
