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 key difference between self-love and selfishness. Self-love is a positive emotion that respects others’ boundaries and doesn’t cause harm. For instance, you can enjoy your vegan meal among non-vegetarians without imposing your choices on others. Similarly, you might skip a day of meditation to be with a friend on their birthday, showing that self-love allows for flexibility without compromising personal well-being.
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 means prioritizing one’s own interests and needs above the well-being of others. It stands in direct contrast to selflessness or altruism, often giving the impression 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 constantly set high, unrealistic expectations for themselves and others.
