Reply #34: I know what you mean, but maybe its not about being "more important than" [View All]

others we care about, but about at least treating ourselves equally as well.

I used to be like that- everyone, kids, animals, plants ...took care of everything before what I needed and should have done for myself .(oh hell, lets be honest, I still do that way too much LOL)

But I am consciously trying to do little (& even big) things for myself that I would do for others I care about...

Just a bit of a shift in how I view myself.

I do agree with so many others upthread that we are not taught to love ourselves...in fact its just the opposite.
