Self-love is showing regard for one’s well-being and happiness. There are many ways in which one can regard oneself. It could be by selecting a career of one’s liking, and not succumbing to the pressure of following a career chosen by others. You can show self-love by not blindly following fashion trends but choosing to wear what you like; by speaking the truth even if it hurts many; by creating healthy boundaries in a relationship and not tolerating unfair behavior; by eating healthy and exercising and; taking short vacations by oneself, and even spending an occasional day doing absolutely nothing.
Self-Love vs Selfishness
This is the main difference between self-love and selfishness. Self-love is that emotion that doesn’t hurt anyone. You can enjoy your vegan meal amongst a group of non-vegetarians, as long as no one is forced, anyone, to do anything they are not comfortable with. You can surely skip one day of meditation to be with a close friend on their birthday
When you make attempts to escape from the ups and downs of life, it is then that you are being selfish. While selfishness might not be the worst human flaw, it certainly counts as one of the most disliked ones and gives you a negative reputation. Selfishness is defined as placing concern for oneself or doing things of one’s interests, above the interests or well-being of others. Selfishness is exactly the opposite of selflessness or altruism and gives you the image of being self-centered.
By nature, selfishness is manipulative and controlling. Selfish people always have the fear of losing control, and when they feel things are going out of control, they will scheme and plot to get things going their way. On the other hand, self-love understands that both the ‘good’ and ‘bad’ elements of ourselves play a critical part in our growth.
Selfishness is conditional and selfish people always have high and unrealistic expectations of what they want from themselves and also from others.
