How we really learn to love ourselves | Esther Perel

You learn to love yourself in the context of your relationships with others. This idea that you go first to work on yourself here and then you prepare this little nice little package and you bring it to relationships that is completely off actually. You need a good amount of self-awareness but you also need to be in relationships because it's people who help you become more aware. Practicing it. Practicing it but other people let you see who you are. It's by being with others that you get to know who you are and not just by sitting there alone and say who am I, who am I? But this is a relational perspective. active on life, and I will stand by that.
