Agree or disagree? Why?

I think I mostly agree. I mean I'm not dealing with depression anymore, but when I was, the idea that someone cared about me even when I hated myself was a little comforting, although I think it's much healthier for both members of a relationship when neither of them are really struggling with self worth. I think it's much easier to really 'fully' love someone when you can focus on them as a person, rather than latching onto to them with an obsessive sort of affection because they comforted you when you were sad.

I somewhat disagree, because I have many people in my life who love only themselves and they are the most unloving people in the world. However, I will admit that at least a small sense of self-worth is important in good relationships with others.
That was really lame and probably made no sense, but that's my opinion. -

i love some people so much but no one could ever hate me more than me -
I mean you technically can love someone without loving yourself, but that tends to put a lot of strain on a relationship. Some people make it work and have healthy relationships but I think for the majority of people, it won't work. You need to be sure with yourself first before entering in a relationship because if you don't then there can be possible situations where manipulation can occur putting you in a very toxic and unhealthy relationship.
Another way to look at loving yourself is knowing that you don't need to be in a relationship to be happy. Some people just from relationship to relationship without giving themselves time to breathe and know that they aren't just one half constantly looking for it's other piece. You are a whole person, and you don't necessarily need to be with someone, you can say "f--- it" and just be happy by yourself and do what you want. That's what it is to love yourself, to know what makes you happy and not letting anyone get in the way of it. So that way when you find someone who is going to support you no matter what, then you know you've found someone at least willing to spend the rest of their life with you.
