Agree completely. There are so many trite sayings that get thrown around as solid advice (guilty of doing it myself too) and it oversimplifies people’s situations to a comical degree, not to mention that there’s no real guidance given beyond the catch phrase. Like you say, how the heck do you love yourself just because…

People say “learn to love yourself first and love will follow” I am not people. Girlll, shotgun approach. The more you put yourself out there, the more you increase your chances.

Don’t indulge in too much shame and guilt. Everyone’s circumstances are unique. Some would likely look at my situation and get a chest pain. Or worse, judgmental. That’s okay, I don’t owe everyone an explanation. I know the whys and hows and have tos, even if others are just shaking their heads 😄
