You've probably heard the saying, "No one is going to love you if you don't love yourself first."

​

As cliché as this sounds, it's true.

​

If you're wondering why your partner doesn't love you the way you love him/her, this is an opportunity for you to learn a very important life lesson:

​

The greatest love felt is the one you have for self.

​

Hi, I'm Dr. Elena Kim, In my work as a relationship counselor, I have noticed that some people choose "bad" partners or decide to stay in "bad" relationships simply because they believe no one else will love them and they don't deserve better.

​

It sounds ironic, but a great relationship actually starts with you loving yourself first.

​

Why, you ask?

​

Because confidence is energy. When you don't have it, you put forth anxious and insecure energy, and your partner senses that.

​

On the other hand, when you love yourself and feel secure in your own skin, your partner senses your peace, compassion, and exuberance.

​

If you feel like you've lost yourself in your relationship because you've given everything that you have to your partner, getting your partner to love you always begins with you loving yourself first so your partner can learn about the many ways to love you.

​

Then, later on, when you love you and your partner starts loving you the way you want him/her to, it's like the icing on the cake!
