my experience with "nobody can love you until you love yourself" is ... i can be loved if i don& #39;t love myself. i have been loved when i didn& #39;t love myself and i sabotaged it. i ruined it. i ran away. i was avoidant of being seen.
loving myself helps me recognize when people love me back and now i don& #39;t have to accuse anyone of "taking" my love from me. because if i didn& #39;t have it, i wouldn& #39;t be able to give it. i gave people adoration and obsession in the past. but that was not love.
i gave "love" yet feared vulnerability.
i gave "love" yet ran away from accountability.
i gave "love" yet tried to impede on their freedom just because i was insecure and afraid of someone having a life and love for themself.
that was not love.
but i love now. and i& #39;m free.
