  • Yeah, but I do it anyways. 300 ANSWER! WOOT WOOT!
  • No not at all , though loving the real deep down you is the healthiest way of all -And being Conceded is not loving ones self Good Question + 5
  • True self love that is non ego based,and based on self knowledge and self respect is good.
  • No i think its a really hard thing to accomplish but the people that really love themselves are truly blessed and from experience i know they are happier so i don't see anything wrong with loving yourself.
  • No,but you have to put a control cause then if you go too extreme it is wrong.
  • no not at all
  • Of course not, loving yourself gives you high self-esteem.
  • it is most important to love yourself. Have you never heard the saying "you can never truly love anyone untill you love yourself"
  • If you don't love yourself, how can you expect anyone else to? Anything can be taken too far, but it is not wrong to love yourself.
  • No. Unless you have multiple personalities, you should be able to agree with yourself and love what you agree with.
  • No, it's basically what defines having a good self-esteem! Just don't go crazy. There is a fine line between having good self-esteem and being narcissistic, heheh.
  • What you just asked, is a key to your happiness.
  • Of course not. In fact I believe that it is quite necessary for healthy relationships with others.
  • That depends on where you're doing it, I guess...ewww.
  • No, just don't get a broken heart when you fall for someone else.
  • There is nothing more right in the world. It's the only viable foundation for building good, healthy relationships with others.
  • no not at all
  • Not at all, to love yourself is to respect yourself.
  • No, but adoring one's self may be.
  • ofcourse not, that's what makes you live your life to the fullest knowing that you're taking care of yourself and for a reason. To contribute to society. It's just annoying when people love themselves a bit too much to the point where they think they're perfect. Now if you're talking about "loving yourself" in terms of masturbation, that's not wrong either. It's natural and healthy. Just as long as you can control it and aren't doing it in inapropriate places.
  • Self-love is healthy as long as it does not become an obsession or exclusive.
  • no it isnt wrong, more people should love them selves...Sometimes in life, you are all you have and must rely on yourself,so loving your self is a good thing...
  • God loves me so why shouldn't I love me. Nope it's not wrong.
  • Nothing at all! i believe you have to love yourself otherwise you get nowhere in life. You must be able to love yourself to love anything...IMHO of course!!
  • NOTHING! It's healthy to love yourself and others. Loving yourself might include feeding yourself well and making sure you get plenty of exercise and sleep and earn a good living and enjoying treating yourself from time to time. And treating people well so that you have good friends and get along well with aquaintances. Note that none of this has anything to do with being conceited or ego maniacal. Those qualities have very little to do with love, are more about feelings of superiority,
  • I love myself often :) oops sorry double click
  • I love myself often :)
  • There is nothing wrong with it unless you are self obsessed.
  • I would say, resoundingly NO WAY! As I explain below, I think it is literally impossible to love without loving yourself. My definition of love encompasses all the different types of love. Love is an emotional recognition of the degree to which we share the same self or soul with others. To the degree that we feel this sameness and soul-sharing with another person, that's the degree we love that person. This is why it's really impossible to love others without first loving yourself. Think about it - when you love someone, it means you identify their pain and their happiness with your own. Their pain is your pain, and their happiness makes you happy. You strive, to the degree that you love someone, to promote their well-being as though they were you, or at least "close to you". The most loving people are the ones that see fewer differences between people and themselves, and / or recognize the unimportance of those differences. Their "same-soul-threshold" for feeling love is lower than others, so they feel it for more people. For this reason, they also tend to be more at peace, I find. I hope that makes sense to everyone. I've thought about what "love" was as a phenomenon for a long time.
  • No but you should have a break if you get blisters and neck pain.
  • No it's a requirement.
  • Nope. Arrogance and vanity, on the other hand...
  • If you do not love yourself, you can not love (or help) others properly. Be content with yourself and great your life shal be!
  • If you want to love another, you must first love yourself!
  • Its wrong not to love yourself.
  • If loving me is wrong, I don't wanna be right!
  • YOu can't properly love others until you learn to love yourself in a healthy way. That's where we start. Then when we love ourselves we can grow to love others and know how to treat them and care for their heart, too.
  • True Self-ishness always leads to joy, because it is motivated always by the desire to feel as good as possible. It is only when we are Self-ish enough to be, do and act in accordance with our desires (not someone else’s) that it is possible to stay balanced. Energetically speaking, a desire is a rush of life force energy, a connection to the divine inner self, which can never result in actions that are harmful. It is only when true desires are blocked that they become twisted and ugly. This statement goes against the common wisdom that human nature is greedy, violent and primitive. Human nature is precisely the opposite: we are born knowing ourselves as powerful, eternal, spiritual beings. Petty, competitive, churlish and violent behavior must be overcome with suitable practice. Observe your family, friends and coworkers. Almost all of them are good people, trying to do the best they can. It would simply not be possible to build a sophisticated society if human nature was so base. All successful societies are based upon cooperation, not competition. Competition works not because it is adversarial, but because it inspires teamwork. Ask two angry guys to get something constructive done, it is not going to happen. All success is based upon cooperation. That is because we live in an attraction based universe. These natural impulses are supposed to be dangerous because they stem from a primitive survival instinct. But human being has a better mind than animals. Just look around at the mess the world is in! But that is a delusional assertion, a denial of the basic nature of consciousness itself. The natural impulses of human nature stem from a connection to life force, and it is resistance to this divine impulse which causes the selfish behavior people object to. If you observe people you will quickly see that those persons who are most alive are full of desire, and those who look lifeless have little or no desire. Desire = life force. Shut off desire = selfish behavior. It's ironic that selfish behavior actually results from self-denial. Human nature is not a primitive, biological instinct based on survival of the fittest, it’s a pure connection to source energy. It is divine. It's only when that connection is closed off that selfish behavior is demonstrated. Every one of your desires is, in its non-resisted state, joyful and balanced, because that is an inherent property of consciousness itself. True selfishness is allowance of desire, without resistance, and results in the impulse to give freely to others. But it is first necessary to allow that impulse within yourself. http://kjmaclean.com/Selfishness.html True selfishness comes from the inner voice. It is deeper than ideas generated by conscious mind. It reflects the higher consciousness in us. It raises the psyche and Self to a nobler level. True selfishness transcends the limitations of sub-conscious instincts. It speaks of what you are as soul. http://www.search.com/search?q=Psychology+Inner+Voice
  • For a general question like this, yes and no.
  • the only way you can start to love others is by loving yourself
  • Sometimes you have to deny yourself love because you are guilty. Inevitably, a conscience will conflict with desire, and be transgressed by impulses beyond our control. But, such is the consequence of living in a civilized world. The individual must sacrifice its unconscious desires for the sake of external harmony.
  • No. As a matter of fact in necessary, it's only a problem if you become too self centered at the cost of others.

  • No, if you can't love yourself, then how can you love another? The problem is that most people confuse the phrase "love yourself" with something in the sense of vanity, when in truth humans should try to learn to see the message underneath that phrase, it does not mean love yourself to the point where, you're the only one who is important; and you can step on the backs of everyone around you, but love yourself as a person, love and take care of your body, mind and soul once you find that, you find the ability to love another with that same love you've found in yourself.
  • Jesus commanded us to love others as we love ourselves, which implies it isn't wrong. Love isn't selfish, so "being in love with yourself" isn't really love. Love always puts other people first.
  • No way. If you can't love yourself, how do you expect anyone else to?
  • no... it is never wrong.. truth is it is essential for you to love others too... just like an old adage that says.. beware of a naked man who offers you a shirt... how can you offer something you never had?
  • well if you can't love yourself than how can you expect someone to love you back?
  • absolutely not. in order to love anything u have to start by loving urself first. Therefore, in order to made to world benefit of ur love, u have to focus on urself first.
  • I believe to a certain extent.
  • it isnt rong to love urself. self love is what makes u confident and a happy person it is when the self love turns cockyness
  • no. you can never expect for people to love you for who you are... if you won't love yourself... then, who else would?
  • No. If you do not love or accept yourself as who you are, no one else can.
  • You have to love yourself to love others. Not physically of course.
  • Why would it be wrong?
