Wow this is uncanny. I came across your post Oz today and it got my attention too.
It was only last night I was talking about this subject with someone. We were watching something on TV and I said,- I have read somewhere, If you love yourself unconditionally and accept its ok to be yourself and not worry about what other people think, then you can love everyone else around you..without judgement.
Then I said, but I havent quite given myself permission to do that yet....
Im going to keep reading the posts here, and work out why? Oh Oz, I am learning about loving me.
