Is it important to love yourself more than others or others more than yourself......?

The Bible also says to "Love they neighbor as thyself."  Therefore, if you don't love yourself then you can't love others, truly.\n\nAs for how much, I think the adage "it is better to give than to receive" is very true.  If you are feeling down, try doing something good for another person and see how much better you feel about yourself.

UNDERSTANDING OTHERS THROUGH SELF\n\nTell me if this suits as the statement or not...

Thinking of ones self will take you very far in life in some areas. It maybe a lonely ride to the top but it is a surefire way to get there. If you count out how much doing the right things for others has cost you or people around it almost makes it seem stupid to consider anyone other then yourself but if you can remember how you felt in lending a hand or sacrificing something it really does mean something. To each there own and however it helps you sleep at night being selfish or generous are up to the indivual and there needs at the time.

You can't.....the true measure of the self is how we handle ourselves through adversity....do we turn to love or not?

Love for another person has nothing to do with how you feel about yourself.  Anyone who really, truly loves another person is willing to sacrifice anything for the safety and happiness of that person.  Love for the other person is so deep that the thought of his/her unhappiness is unbearable, as is the thought of continuing to live after that person has died.  This kind of love is selfless, so no matter how much you do or don't love yourself, the other person's needs always come first.

You must love yourself. Everyday when you get up, think of one thing you love about yourself and tell yourself. If you find something negative, think of a way to fix it, and do it. I am sure you are a wonderful person, you just need to remember that.

Hello, first of all does the person know that you have strong feeling for them? Look I am not here to tell you how to live, however if you ask me you need to start caring about yourself. No person is worth killing your self over, no not one.\nConventional wisdom would have you believe that if you are not involved with someone then you are not normal, well my friend, conventional wisdom is WORNG!!!!\n\nIt does not take a genius to know that you can’t give what you don’t have,; you cannot love someone else and not be able to show yourself love first. You know yourself from the moment that you were born, if you can’t love that person, you can’t love anyone else.\n.

you have to love yourself before someone else can love you, you need to have better self esteem before trying to get someone to love you. the world is made up of all kinds of people so don't feel like your ugly that is not what counts, you may want to talk to someone about how u feel about urself better ur slef esteem better the chance that someone will luv u

Yes, I do. I am thoughtful, considerate, loyal, dependable, caring & loving. I put others before myself. And I'm not patting myself on the back either. This is fact.

Loving yourself, first. If you do that, then others will love you too, and you'll be able to love them in return.

RED FLAG waving in your face!!!  Perhaps it's time to "love YOURSELF just a little bit more".  On your mark...get set...GOOOO!

You need to look at why you allow yourself to be treated that way.  Before you can have a healthy relationship with anyone you need to love yourself first.  I find it hard to believe that you truly love yourself if you would permit two different people to treat you with such disrespect.  Personally I think you should drop them both and concentrate on yourself for a while.

Your heart is more important.You should always remain true to yourself no matter what others think.But if your heart leads you to what you want than you got lucky.

No doubt love is important,but if you have some responsibilities to perform and love is coming in the way and you are disturbed as you are not true to any one of then.my advise is take your responsibilities like a man and if you have to sacrifice your love for responsibilities,sacrifice that...Just look at martyrs,you will get the answer.

Yep! You are absolutely right!.. But do not apply only to Christians\nbut to EVERYBODY under God`s umbrella.\n" You should Love GOD above all things...and you should love others as yourself."\nIf you love yourself more than others... then sins started...\nBecause, it is where evil temptations can gain points from you...pushing you down... inching your way to hell. WHY ???\nAre you familiar with: comparing, judgement, vested interest, ulterior motives.....that you would be better than him ?\nThen...competitiveness, success, hatred, vengeance, cheating, lies, leading him to destructions, killing, etc..... to win from him ?\n...and many more...

Thats kinda the point... to give yourself over to love is to ask the other personal to guarentee you certain things, that they wil stay with you and faithful and not hurt you because now you love them, they're the only one who can hurt you. Giving someone that power over you is how you show them you love them, letting yourself be vunerable is what underlines how important it is to you. weird, huh?

Additionaly to what was just said, a self-centered person has to have everything done his/her way.  There is no room for comprimise.  A self-centered person really only loves his or her self.  There is no concept of self-sacrifice.  If there is nothing to be gained for the self-centered person, that one will not do something.  Self-centered persons don't truly love other people, except as it is to their own advantage.
