"I need me, I need me to love me, to want me and to care for me, this will never change. I don’t need anyone else to do this for me, I need me to do this for me. I need to stop looking outside of myself for completion, I am already complete!"
The hard thing is loving yourself neither because somebody else does, nor because nobody else does.
Loving yourself, because somebody else does is easy.
Loving yourself, because nobody else does is more difficult, but is sometimes easy, out of necessity. Making necessity a virtue, and all that.
Doing neither is a different matter. I cannot say that I have even tried.
