I think you’re one of the best content YouTubers out there. I resonate with your wisdom and while other people say not to love unconditionally, I wholeheartedly disagree. There is perfection in imperfection. Thank you for continuing to share your wisdom

👏👏👏 Bravo Kenny, thank you, so sick of the toxicly positive "motivational speakers" shoving everyone's face in shame and telling us to "suck it up" and be someone else. If Stoicism worked, none of us would need it.

Crying is strength. It's healthy.

I just found your videos today. This is fantastic. I grew up abused so badly by my abusive mother. She doesn’t mind to say lies, controls to create hate in the family, put down family with words, threw us food, chased us and hit us, never invited her sisters or parents in the house even once… Thank you very much, you explained why I feel so worthless constantly.

It takes vulnerability & maturity to admit to someone else that we're messed up. It also takes vulnerability & maturity to figure out why we're all messed up. Some people can face their truth & work towards growing/healing & some people cannot face their truth & just remain stuck/unhealed. I relate it to Star Wars-- light (healing & growth.) & dark (not healing & not dealing with your demons.). I'm still a work in progress, always striving towards the light side.

So true 😢I used get mad about low self esteem. I always aligned it with looks and confidence only. I am a perfectionist this makes it worse. Thanks for your knowledge I need to work on my self esteem 😩

This is helping in ways I thought weren't possible.

People don't want to face their demons because it would be getting honest with themselves and being authentic. It's much easier to tune out and numb feelings than to deal with the mess of emotions. It's too scary and difficult to be real. That's why people drink or become addicts. What's bad is when you are surrounded with someone who doesn't want to be authentic and wants you to join them in their inauthenticity. Misery loves company. Two alcoholics (My maternal Grandparents loved their martinis!) are the best match because they are both in denial of themselves. A narcissist can't self-reflect and be authentic so he/she wants to devalue someone else and slowly chip away at their authenticity. Being with a narcissist numbed me out and I lost myself. People don't want to be alone in their darkness, their denying of themselves, and misery. I choose not to drink a lot of alcohol like my Grandparents and my Mom. I don't want to numb out. I would rather stay awake and remain in tune with my true self. It's a constant battle to not allow others to dim my light and to not allow myself to dim my own light. My Mom always says, "Don't hide yourself under a bushel."

I'm guessing its a "sliding scale" in regards to "loving myself"....on one end is "I hate or dislike myself and my actions/habits", to "I honestly love myself and all I do, and there is nothing I desire for". Most of us fall somewhere in between. The more I see your videos, and others in this space, I'm coming to the conclusion that I could truly benefit from a life and career coach. I'm thinking "love myself" may be too strong of a moniker for many of us... I'm personally striving for "I finally respect myself, and I'm proud of the choices I'm now MAKING, and even if no one else see's it YET, I'm proud of what I've accomplished thus far". For myself, this is easier to wrap my head around, and gives specifics to the destination I am heading towards. Thanks so much for this video, and I am a proud owner of your book!

I feel it’s not just the denial. I feel we have to honestly face our wounding and rather than waiting for somebody else to love us valid data so fixes. To start becoming archetypal mother and father to ourselves whatever kind of parenting we had. I am 53 and it took me a long time to realize, yes I am independent human being with other human beings. But the most important relationship is myself with my soul and what I mean with that is what I think and how I treat myself when I am alone. I feel people who can never be alone or in solitude have such problem, listening to who they are and what inside them is needing their attention. And that’s why we end up running around after this one and they want to love us. Nobody can give us our self-worth. Nobody can give us our self-respect. It’s an embodied visceral experience once we start loving and taking care of ourselves. Deeply befriending ourselves. I am so grateful that I teach this incredible 5Rhythms practice which is a dance. So it’s not about cutting off anything the idea is to embrace every aspect of ourselves specially the one that we judge and hate. I wish everyone great self-love and respect and please if you are not a dancing find the music that you love put the song that you love and just feel the joy of your life moving through you you are precious. And keep repeating it to yourself because you are it’s a fact there will never be another human being in this universe like you never that’s pretty cool.❤👣💃🏽

I wouldn't be here today if I hated myself!

Loving your neighbor as yourself begins with you.

[cleopatrajones]

Beautiful. I’ve known I come across as this monster to men because of being hyper aware and just thought it was them that were being cowards. Wow thank you so much for sharing. I should reevaluate the way I show up. Thank you 🙏🏽❤️

Carl Rogers' main tool was "unconditional positive regard" no matter what. After all no one want to be self-destructive on purpose.

💡Yeah, I heard that a lot- stop crying and just get over it. I still hear it. It's like my emotions were too much for people to handle. I felt like saying, "I don't mean for my intense emotions to inconvenience you." When my brother died, I was hyperventilating/overwhelmed with so much grief/shock, my Uncle had to calm me down so I could breathe properly. I always apologize when I cry. I developed ways to self talk and self soothe. Music helps. Even nowadays, my Mom will say to my Dad, "Oh, she's getting herself all worked up, " which just makes me cry harder 🙄. (I'm 40 something, damn it! If I want to cry over a boy-man that can't even cry over me, I'm gonna fucking cry!) I felt like I was too much trouble/too difficult for my mom to deal with. What I heard was, "I can't handle her, you handle her!" So, I ended up picking a Narcissist as a mate for three years who can't feel anything or cry! Ugh! 💡

I love this video. Watched it today for 1st time and appreciate your raw truth about accepting darkness in ourselves. The example you gave about the power you recognized in talking to a woman you thought you were helping sparked an AH Ha moment in myself and made me revisit how I come across to others when I am trying to help them. I am trying to work on myself and not just accept my flaws as a human being, but face them and correct them because that is the only way to stop hating myself for those type of things. Thank you for sharing your truth and being authentic!

[janegreen]

Loving yourself is psycho-babble. You cannot love yourself. I have tried this crap and it doesn't work. You need someone else to love you. If you have never experienced real love, you cannot love yourself because you've never experienced it. You can think nice things toward yourself and do nice things but it's not the same.

I feel like I understand denial better now. Thanks for you
