How can you all love someone when you dont love yourself
I dont.At least, that's what I tell myself.
>>25143555
i'm only a reflection of my environment and random stimuli
I get what you mean but at the end of the day we're all animals. Do you think a dog self-evaluates before trying to get pet or a cuddle?
There is a basic instinct for companionship that overrides "logic". This is why so many of us broken individuals post lonely feels instead of truly accepting our doomed isolation.

Sounds like a excuse
>>25143555
how can you love yourself if no one loves you?

thanks kendrick

How does this meme even make sense?
how can you love yourself if you're not a separate thing from yourself?
the question is bad grammar
there is no separate object to have love for. simply nothing is there to direct your love at. it's like trying to see your own gaze
I've never understood that phrase. It doesn't make any quantifiable sense to me.
I have low, sometimes nonexistent self-esteem. I know everything that is wrong with me, and seldom remember any of my redeemable qualities. i.e. Most of the time I don't "love myself".
I have immense love for other people when they show me that there is still hope in existing, I love it when they exert qualities that I myself wish I had, I love it when they show me attention or favor that was completely undeserved, I love when they overcome their weaknesses and press on. I have every reason to love, and show love, to other people when I appreciate their qualities, demeanor and behavior. That action has nothing to do with me.

Yeah, also how can you hit yourself? Utterly impossible grammatically.Sorry anon but you're a tard.
>>25143992
Yeah just keep avoiding the question like all you losers do.
>>25143555
I wonder that too. There are parts of me I can't seem to accept and I don't think I could accept them in others either. I think I just want someone to love instead of myself, as if that could be a substitute.

>avoiding the question
okay, well, I'm not him, but I posited a theory that the question itself is completely unintelligible here >>25143985
if a question doesn't make sense, then there can be no sense in attempting to answer it. shove that thought up your ass and please go
>>25143555
Super easily, actually.
You should as "How can others love YOU if you don't love yourself?", and the answer is "they can't".
They are worthy of my affection/adoration/love, I want nothing more than to show them I love them, strive to give them the best life I can. I have to live with my self hatred, getting the love reciprocated and being validated along with time is the only thing that will build me up. I want greatness, stability, security but not for me, so I can offer it to them. I can't do it for me, I can't reverse this without valid reason to and being worthy of love is the best reason I have. I want nothing but contempt for being this way, I'm ashamed. I don't want to "work on me", that means present me wasn't good enough. Some klonopin to dull my constant emotion would also be nice. Believe it or not I don't do anything but attempt to court a woman out of self interest, the rest is so the people who care don't have to see me in a casket. For you I'm awake.

Then it's time to sedate me or give me the means for painless suicide. Ask a paraplegic to stand up. You underestimate how deep this self loathing/shame complex goes.

Or eat/drink/sleep/piss/feed my nicotine/internet addiction, of course.
Sorry, Asuka
I think it is possible to love someone without loving yourself, but it cannot be on that deeper level that meaningful, true love is

End of Evangelion's third act hits too close to home
every time I watch it I just sit there and really think about what the FUCK am I DOING WITH MY LIFE
>>25144800
Shinji is literally the personification of all robots.
Asuka is that girl you liked in school but was
always rude, and, unlike what your mom told you, girls being mean to you doesn't mean they like you. Anno, however, offers the fantasy of "maybe she DID like me after all..."
Rei is the stereotypical perfect girl we hoped for but realized we can never have
Honestly whenever people say Evangelion is stupid I think that you have to be able to relate to Shinji and Anno to really understand its message. Shinji means so much more when he is a reflection of ourselves.asuka is still my waifu
>>25144730
You need to explain the distinction between love and TRUE love, them being the reason I wake up in the morning, your reason to strive. You've heard the song 'the reason', no? How can love be any more true than that? I understand being unlikeable when you are sad but you can't refuse love to those who need it most, in their darkest hour(s). Or months, rather. At their lowest possible self esteem you drop them because they can't change years of habits and beliefs about themselves to please you in a day, that is fucked. If you think dropping someone for showing emotion or struggling is your idea of true love I want none of it.

There are alternative universes where Shinji is alpha as fuck

Rei is the perfect girl we hoped for and eventually got.
that is, unless you're a beta cuck and have to settle for a bitchy slut like asuka.
Keep telling yourself that pal ;)

When will this meme die? I love my gf, doesn't mean I'm not a worthless loser that should be shot
