Little Neo:

Good for you. If we could only show the compassion for ourselves that we show for others, we would be able to give of ourselves more freely. People confuse loving yourself with being self-centered and selfish. The truth is, until you love yourself, you will be doomed to being self-centered. It is a true sign of inner peace when you see someone who is looking beyond themselves. Folks who didn't like you when you were trying to please them won't like you when you aren't. No loss.
