what are your boundaries for self love and love for others?

this is really an interesting question; unfortunately, i still don’t know myself that well yet.. i don’t even love myself lol, i mean not yet, at least. i have this thinking, that, if i can’t love myself at least even a bit, then i shouldn’t try to love others— I’m talking about in a ‘romantic’ term. As in platonic term, i think i can try..

Probably staying true to what I truly cherish (in terms of ideals and my preferences) and also not expecting a lot from other people in order to protect myself from unwanted things hehe... For love to others I try to be an observant and gives advice or verbal help first rather than immediately butting into their lives. But if they do need my help, I'd gladly help them!

Hello kak,for me mh boundaries for self love is when i'm not satisfied of myself and being insecure for many times.
For love for others,if they didn't see my effort and disrespect me.

Do u need something kak?

Oh! That's a good and hard question at the same time. I tend to be nonchalant about other people. I dont want to put any expectaction to people (especially) who i just met. So i wont feel any kind of disappointment in the end. Thats my self love boundaries! And my boundaries for others, i tend to take a step back if i feel like i act too much "prying" on their life.
