“Friendship with oneself is all-important because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world”
— Eleanor Roosevelt
Simplified Meaning:
Liking and accepting yourself is really important because if you can’t do that, it’s hard to like and accept other people. Imagine if you don’t feel good about who you are, you might always feel unsure or worried, and that can make it difficult to connect with others. For instance, if someone is always criticizing themselves, they might also start judging others the same way, making it tough to have good friendships. When you are comfortable with yourself, you are more relaxed and open, which makes it easier for others to be around you. This means that by being your own friend and treating yourself kindly, you can have better and more genuine friendships. So, working on self-love and self-acceptance not only makes you happier but also improves your relationships with others.
