The idea of self-love , meanwhile, is related to the affection or esteem that a human being feels for himself. Self-love is associated with self-esteem and self-esteem, although in colloquial language it indicates effort or will : having a lot of self-love is equivalent to not giving up or giving up.
This last expression, therefore, is used for different situations. In its first meaning, it can be used to negatively criticize the excess of respect that another subject has for himself, although it is also an absolutely opposite case. Let's look at a couple of examples to study all the possibilities.
Suppose that a man named Marcos appears in front of his friends and tells them with complete ease that he has just closed a very important deal, thanks to which he will earn a significant sum of money; If he does so by highlighting at all times that the result is due to his countless social skills, such as his power of persuasion and his mastery of language, we could say that he suffers from "an excess of self-love", given that we should always receive praise. spontaneously, instead of attributing them to ourselves.
On the other hand, if Marcos had a totally different attitude but the same business talent and, before the meeting, he felt a lot of doubt and was seriously considering leaving it in the hands of a partner, someone who really knows him could tell him that he has "a lack of love." "own" truly worrying. In both cases, upbringing is decisive for the definition of self-esteem , whether they shower us with praise or despise us; Although the perfect balance is impossible, children should receive respectful and encouraging treatment from their elders to feel confident in themselves when facing their obligations.
Regarding the second meaning of this expression, self-love is understood as the minimum degree of self-respect that we should all feel. Unlike the previous examples, this concept is usually used to encourage another person to love themselves a little more, to face an obstacle even if it is only for that healthy feeling that they seem to lack.
For example, if a person tells a friend that they have been scammed and have lost a lot of money but that it is not worth confronting the criminal, good advice for them could be "go see him, if only for self-love ." .
