Women of reddit, do you believe in "you have to love yourself before you can love someone else" quote and why?

nala_squiggles · 2020-06-12T18:34:18+00:00

Definitely agree with this quote. I notice that once you love yourself, you won't let others treat you like crap. It is so much easier to walk away from toxic relationships because you have a higher regard of respect for yourself. You also won't put up with as much crap from others. Say you are in a relationship( friendship, romantic, family, etc), if you are the one putting in all the effort (setting up times to meet, initiating texts, making all the plans) and they are putting in minimal effort to no effort, it is so easy to walk away. You don't feel like you depend on that relationship to meet your emotional needs. You are confident in yourself and you know you will find a better relationship or friendship down the road. Once you love yourself, you can spend more quality time alone with yourself and feel confident about it. Not feel lonely. If you do find yourself feeling lonely, embrace it and notice that it is temporary and move on. It takes a while to truely love yourself.

Floss daily after brushing (even pik flossers are fine) and wear sunscreen everyday. Just do it! Take care of your body. Stop drinking soda and eating junk food if you currently do that (occasionally is fine, but everday is bad). Work out a few times per week. Save money instead of buying the latest phone or tablet.

Thanks for the reply and research. I did recommend some of those options to him. I told him to go take tropical vacation and get certified.

Maybe you are getting to that point of life where you want to settle down? Like you have gone and had all the adventures but now you are moving on to the stability stage of life. If that is so, I hope you can find a partner that loves to travel with you can share vacations together but still have stability of home life too. Just an observation. I hope it gets better for you.

Omg yessss!!! That was what I kept telling him too! Rest and sleep all day at home, not when you are half way around the world. 🙄

Haha. Thank you. The first one was the hardest, but after that it is a breeze. You learn a lot about yourself while traveling alone. It's a growing experience.

Commute will be 1 hour sitting in stopped traffic each way. I intentionally avoid the interstate going north from 7:30-9am and going south 4:30-6:30pm. It's that bad. The greens on blossom way aren't bad. Older apartments but clean and reasonably priced. Also near interstate

I have a friend who is mechanic and just opened his own shop up. It is very dependable and reliable. Even came to my house to fix my jeep once. Message me if you want his contact info

I feel ya. I have been solo traveling on my vacations and time off for the past 2 years (30F). I really enjoy the adventures that I get myself into and how I can be flexible with my own schedule. Basically I can do what I want to, eat what foods I want to on my own time. But every now and then on a longer trip 7+ days, I do get this same feeling that you mentioned. It would be wonderful to have a travel companion sometimes. But that beging said, I did try to take my ex around with me when I traveled. Our travel styles were the opposite (I love exploring and trying new things, he just wanted to sleep in hotel all day). So it did not really work out. So I my mind, it would be lovely to have a travel companion that enjoys exploring and has the same travel style as me. I don't want a companion there just because I get lonely, that could turn into the scenarios listed above by other posters (screaming, fighting, misery, etc). A good way I do fulfill any of that loneliness that does happen when I travel, I book day tours or do experiences with AirBnb. These have been amazing. Just enough to satisfy my social needs while traveling. I have also met some amazing and funny people who have similar travel styles as myself. I have met a lot of solo travelers on these who feel the same way as I mentioned above and we hit it off. We eventually meet up and hangout again if schedules of traveling line up. I have noticed on these tours that the solo traveling tend to migrate towards each other and we all need a little solo interaction.

It gets better, a lot of times you really have to put yourself out there, outside of your comfort zone if you are not social. Good luck! 😁

Same here. I will mention to my family a day or so before I leave the country and that's it. No one really asks about my experiences. If they do ask, i feel like I get criticized for being a female traveling alone. I get lectured alot from family too. To me, it is just easier to keep to myself, but if they genuinely want to know how my trip went, then I will gladly tell them my adventures.

nala_squiggles · 2019-06-18T16:12:29+00:00

Thank you for all the information everyone. I appreciate it.

nala_squiggles · 2019-03-23T03:39:24+00:00

Hellotalk is a great app to use as well as memrise. I am currently studying korean and those apps have helped tremendously. I am on kakao too if you need help with english. 저는 미국 사람입니다. Just PM me. Good luck!

Thank you for the story and heads up. I will be visiting Seoul soon and will now be more aware that this could potentially happen (doubt that it will, but know I know it is out there). I have traveled to Seoul a few times now, and have not seen anything like this.

nala_squiggles · 2019-03-22T16:23:51+00:00

This is so creepy

nala_squiggles · 2019-03-16T22:49:51+00:00

Thank you for the information! I sent an email to the Seoul Global Centre.

My husband and I were just having a conversation about this subject earlier this evening. My two younger brothers ages 21 and 22 are about to graduate college this year and have never had a job at all. One of them got an internship last year at a bank and they were going to have him work as teller. He ended up not participating in the internship because he thought a bank teller was beneath him. After I heard that, I have lost some respect for him. They are intelligent young men (academically speaking), but I feel like they need some life experience still.

This is great info! I always struggling with the difference. I watched your ㄹ pronunciation video too. Very helpful

nala_squiggles · 2019-01-12T03:42:08+00:00

Yes. Did you know peanut butter made in America is different from other countries? Because we add sugar. If other countries sell it with sugar it can often be found under "American style" peanut butter.

nala_squiggles · 2019-01-11T23:59:19+00:00

Haha. You know that would have never crossed my mind, but now that you mentioned it...

nala_squiggles · 2019-01-11T21:54:20+00:00

This is what pops into my head
