Self-love is very important. No one will ever be able to love you as you can. I'm not saying you have to be overly confident and conceited, but there's not a thing wrong about loving who you are.
Growing up, and even now, I've always been told I had to act and look a certain way. One day I was just thinking to myself, "hey, this may make everyone else happy, but what about my own happiness?" I didn't like how society wanted me to be, so I slowly began to go through a journey of self-discovery and eventually I slowly began to love myself. With a help of few of my friends and family, of course. You do n o t have to go through that alone.
Remember, find someone who will always here for any of you if you need to talk
