How to accept yourself?
Every day
you meet a lot of people. Every day you look at perfect models and actors on the television, internet.. You can stand in front of the mirror and see
not ideal figure or skin. Sometimes you get
worse marks than your schoolmate or your work can be less effective.
Actions like these could make that you will feel less comfortable in your body,
but you must remember one thing: It
doesn’t matter what you are wearing and how easy you can work. You must accept
yourself – that’s a key to success!
Do you look at the mirror and thing
how bad you look today? Do you put on weight? Have the smallest/biggest nose on
the word? It can sounds funny, but a lot of people have many problems with
their looking. You stand in front of the
mirror and tell yourself , what you like in your appearance. Try to find a few
aspects and don’t thing about imperfections. Better?
Problems
with weight? Good option is practicing sport like running or swimming. But
sometimes some people are too shy to train with another people. This is fear of
the lack of acceptance of others. Do you ever have a vision that everyone laugh
at you or criticize? It’s not concern only exercising but also public speaking,
very important examine and meeting new
people.
You can think about stressful situations and imagination a few scripts
of that: What you feel? How you behave? What happen next? Then, accept these
situations. You must understand that weight isn’t a problem when you
exercising, people want to listen you , if you have something interesting to
say, passed exam is great, but failed isn’t the end of the word and just
meeting person doesn’t bite you.. When you accept it, you will be more calmer.
Don’t blame of everything. Everyone have sometimes worse day, and not only you do something bad. This is without any sense to things about it all the time. It just happened and you can accept it and suffer the consequences. Tried to forget yourself and live!
This is a few things how to accept yourself. You don’t need the acceptation of another people, at first you must love yourself – you are who you are, and you really want to change your person for appreciation? When people look, that you accept who you are , they will be impressed.
Now,
questions for you:
1. Do you accept yourself? Why/Why not?
2. What is more important for you:
being yourself or be the person who another people want to? Why?
3. Do you have any ideas “How to accept
yourself?”?

I think that mostly I accept myself.It's really important to feel good with our skin,not to be the person who another people want to. If we behave like someone else and try to be someone,we will never accept ourselves.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion,the best way of accept ourselves is to look at our adventages and focused on them.Another effective method is to telling something good about ourselves when we standing in front of the mirror.
I accept myself, because it's the best way to be happy and live normally
ReplyDeleteBeing myself is more important for me than acting somebody, who I am not. It wouldn't have a sens in the long run. We can't feel good, if we pretend all the time.
I have two ideas ''how to accept yourself?'' - if you want to change something, just think how much energy would it take, how much worth it is and then decide to do it or not. If you are not able to do anything with it, try to find good points of the situation.
I have got a lot of disadvantages, but it is inevitable and I accept my character flaws. It is really important to accept yourself and it is only one way to live good. If you don't like yourself your life probably isn't very cheerful. We have to accept yourself if we want to accept other people.
ReplyDeleteIf you want to accept yourself you can't worry about your appearance and your disadvantages. Nobody is perfect!
In my opinion the most important thing in a relation to accept yourself is to realize your imperfections and then let go. Of course, if you are able to change something, try to do it, but there are some problems that we cannot fix. We cannot change who we are so in order to be happy we have to accept ourselves. I always try to be honest with myself. It is a very hard task, but I believe it is a key to be satisfied with life.
ReplyDeleteWell I accept myself. I know that sometimes I'm annoying or something that and I could be a better person but I was born the person I am and I won't change anythings. That's just my way of living. I rather be myself and don't meet some people than trying to be someone I can't be just to have some more friends. The way to accept yourself is just to realize that everyone has some defects and nobody is perfect. Just enjoy your life
ReplyDeleteI accept myself. When I was younger it wasn't okay with me because I was really shy and I couldn't manage in various situations. Now I'm older and I know that I can't change anything. Only I can work on myself to be more confident. I should know that what I do is good for me, I do something in good way. I should be confidence of my decisions and ideas. I'm valuable person with valuable people, happy people - this is the most important to accept yourself.
ReplyDeleteI definitely accept myself just the way I am. Our life teaches us that it's impossible to make everyone's happy and we shouldn't try to be someone else and meet people's expectations. It's up to us if we can feel good in our skin. I'm not sure if there are any general clues to accept yourself, because everyone is different. Some people expect more from themselves and sometimes this makes them less self-confident when they can't achieve some goal. I can only incite everyone to find even small things that they find acceptable in themselves and make it their best advantage.
ReplyDeleteI feel good in my body and in my life so I think that I don’t have any problem with accepting myself. When I was in middle school I was rather a geek and had difficulties to make friend with other classmates. Then I started to think that I am to fat and this is a resource of all my problems. I had never eat anything for dinner and tried to deceive my mum that I ate my packed lunch at school. I had shot up nearly 10cm and put on no kilograms. My mum was really worried about my. All my problems disappeared when I go to a high school. There I found real friends with similar value system and with who I have felt more self-confident.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion significant step in a way to accept ourselves is to find someone for whom we are just good enough. When you don’t thing so that you have to play someone to being accepted by other people it is easier to start like yourself. There is no way that being the person who another people want us to be may work for longer distance.
I mostly accept myself. When I was younger I had problem with that but now it is still changing. Of course I know that I have many disadvantages and I can be annoying or something like that but I am what I am. I always try to be myself because for me it is stupid to pretend someone who you aren't. It's not only lying to other people but also yourself.
ReplyDeleteI find it difficult to accept myself. I have problems with weight (I try to work on it) and recently, my grades got worse. Fortunately, I have so much work that I have no time to worry about such things. I have no choice but forget about my weak points or else I will go out of my mind.
ReplyDeleteEveryone wants to be accepted as they are, me too, so we have work on our weaknesses to become better people. And this is good until we do not pretend to be someone else. Lying about your interest, thoughts and feelings is not a good idea - you will only get tired of doing things you do not want to do.
Some time ago I read a book written by Nick Vujicic. He is incredibly positive person. He was born without arms and legs, but he lives a life of success and happiness, because he accepted himself and now he teaches other people how to do it. You can find his speeches on youtube, it is worth to listen at least a few minutes of them. He is a great example of how important self-acceptance is.
I think that I accept bigger part of me not everything because I think that we should be critic for ourselfes sometimes to try to improve our behaviour or take care about our appariance. I'm trying to do everything what is in my opinion good and this is why I accept myself.
ReplyDelete2. Of course being myself It is hard to pretend someone who we aren't and you can do this for long distance because it will make you unhappy and exhausted.
3. We should try to make deffinition about our personality and our rules and try to do not fit to another but think about our needs. We also should understand that beeing different doesn't mean being worst.
I think I accept part of me but I don't like everything in me. I try to change my apperance and my personality but it is really difficult to do.
ReplyDeleteBeing myself is most important. I don't like to be someone who I am not. It is not for me. I don't know. I think I should try to define what I want change and then work hard to change it.

ReplyDeleteI accept myself, I know that I'm not perfect and I could change some things about me but I don't have any problems with myself.
ReplyDeleteI think that most important is being yourself because people can't act like someone else for all time, it makes them unhappy. If someone don't like who I am, I don't try to change myself, I think that I don't need to be friend with person who want to change me.
I don't have any recipe for accept yourself. The most important thing is to stop compare yourself with everyone. If you think that you can change something about yourself and it makes you happy just try to chane it. If you can't, try to accept this, there is always someone who likes you for who you are.
I think I accept myself in 90% because everybody have some worst parts. I want to say one think which should be very useful for everyone. I know that watching beautiful models sometimes is depressing or be worst than others in work or at university but it also can help. For me it's great motivation so don't think about someone better just try to be best.
ReplyDelete.
ReplyDeleteI accept myself, because I am who I am and I can't change everything at all, only something with my personality I would or even should change :P I don't care what other people say about me, because it's my life and it will never repeat again. What about accepting yourself - I don't have any receipes but it all depends on our psychic so try to think good about yourself and be the king of your life
ReplyDeleteI think I do accept myself. It took time for me to understand that it is more important to do and to be whoever you want to be and it really doesn't matter what would others think. However I do still listen to my firends when they are saying that I have to change my bahavior, I am thinking if they are right and if they are I try to so something about it. I think that the most importat thing to accept yourself is being in friends with the people who will accept you no matter what and will have your back no matter how weird you are. I had a luck to become a part of group like that and it really helped me to understand that being yourself it extremly important.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all I want to say, that everyone should accept himself/herself no matter what kind of person he/she is. You can't be happy in your life without this simple thing. You just have to analize your strong and weak sides, and then try to improve those to become a better person, to develop and achieve new things in life.
ReplyDeleteIt's also very important to be yourself. You can't become someone who other people want you to be. It's not natural. You must follow your own way, your own goals, do with your life what you want.
You just have to realise that you have only one chance to be yourself in this life, you won't become someone else and alway try do develop in order to be a better person.
I try to accept myself. I think it is very important to life in our world with other people. Of course I try to eliminata and change bad things, but I know I will never change some things in me. Very important is people' acceptation and respect.
ReplyDeleteFor me more important is being myself, because thanks to it I can find a real friends. When we try to be who another want to, we must remember that it often works in two sides.
When I think at myself I always try to find positive aspects of my personality. Even if I lose or have problems I try to find good things in these situations.
I totally accept myself. I think it is too childish to feel sorry for myself all the time. Both body and personality I can change or accept, so I do not find any difficulties with that.
ReplyDeleteBeing yourself is really important thing but sometimes it is necessary to know basics of acting. It can be helpful in a job, for example. But it is important to know the limit.
In my opinion, it is essential to realize that you have control over your life. Also books can help, for example about cosmology because after reading you realize that humans are insignificant parts in a enormous universe. This fact helped me to boost my self-confidence.
I think that no one will be happy if don't accept yourself, your defects and bad sides. I'm trying to accept myself as I am, even though I know I'm often unbearable. A lot of people have a problem with self-acceptance. There's always something that disturb - too fat, too skinny, pimples ... The easiest way to acceptance is to list our strengths, advantages, as well as reading books or watching programs. This helped me, because there are people who have a hard life (for example, they are disabled) and still motivate others to believe in yourself.
ReplyDeleteIt's so difficult to accept and fully appreciate ourselves, especially our shortcomings. I must admit that instead of some compliments I'm not self-confident enough but it's high time to eliminate and ignore my negative thoughts! The key issue is to be yourself. It's more relevant than deluding yourself and others. Remember not to compare yourself to others, because people are so different, you are a unique as well as remarkable person!
ReplyDeleteI mostly accept myself, I know that I should change some things and I’m not perfect but I feel quite good in my body. In my opinion the most important is being myself. For me it’s impossible to pretend another person because it’s an unnatural and abnormal behavior. We should take care of our friends who really accept us.
ReplyDeleteI don't think about myself as an exceptionally beautiful, clever and interesting person. But I luckily can say that I accept myself. I can't be other person, so I try to be the best version of myself :)
ReplyDeleteFor me being yourself is more important because "you" are the person you are going to be with during your whole life. If you accept yourself and at the same time accept other people, some of them will respect you and your needs.
My ideas? I've learnt to treat me like I would treat my friend. I also work on "my body and mind" all the time. Improvement makes me feel better.
Generally I accept myself. There was a time, when I had problems with it but now I've already thought it out.
ReplyDeleteIn some ambiences there is a big pressure and it's sometimes really difficult to accept yourself. But it's necessary to remember that we are all different, we have different history, we have grew up in different conditions/ environments, we have different genes, we haven't influence on many things we should just accepted how they are.
In my opinion it is almost impossible to accept yourself completely. It will always be some details which may not appeal to us. I try to accept myself, but I have to say that there are a few things which I would like to change, especially in my appearance - I want to be slimmer for example. I am trying to achieve it - I am running, training, working hard to lose weight and, as a consequence, day after day I am closer and closer to my perfect figure :)
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion everything depends on us and our attitude - there are a lot of things in us which we can change if we feel bad or uncomfortable with them. There are also a group of things which doesn't depend on us, but in my opinion we should accept them and try to swap them into an advantage :)
In my opinion the most important thing is to accept yourself and feel well with yourself. There is no point in acting someone else in order to get into someone. Someone does not accept you and want you to change something? It means that this person have a problem, not you. Be yourself! The most valuable people in our life will accept and love us with all of our disadvantages.
In the past I had a problem to accept all of my faults, it was hard for me. But I learned how to fight with it, understood that I do not have to be perfect and everybody does not have to like me. I like myself and this is the most important. People must understand that if they do not accept themselves they will never make succes in all ways. Todays morning i listened very interesting interviwe. A man said that happines guarantee our future succes. If you accept yourself you are happy, if you are happy you can do everything.
ReplyDeleteI am someon else only on the stage in the theatre. No one tell me who I am or who I should be, it is only my decision.
We must develop ourselves and learn all the time. Can not worry about what others say about us.
I think that I don't truly accept myself (usually I see a lot of things which I could or could not change, but I would like to). However, as an optimist I am not this kind of person who complain and worry about it all the time. I know about my bad and good sides and I try to live with this. In general human disire is to feel accepted by others. But sometimes people who are commonly admired by others feel inside like a zero...
ReplyDeleteWe should learn how to deal with our little defects. Life is too short to be permamently unhappy.
It would be so hard for me not to accept myself since I am so perfect, just deal with my awesomeness. If someone thinks different it's his/her problem not mine and I don't need to pretend that I am someone else.
ReplyDeleteI think that there are a lot of my characteristic which I don't like, for example always being late or susceptibility to be pesimistic, but generally I accept myself. For me the most important is being myself. I don't have to have relatiomships with people who don't accept me.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion in this topic it is easy to confuse accepting yourself with accepting faults. People have a lot of faults but they should work on them. For example I have a problem with being late, but I can't accept it, I should change it. And I can't expect that other people accept my fault.
How to accept yourself? I think that we should think about things what we could change and change them. If we couldn't do this, we should find positives in our situations.
I accept myself, maybe more than I should. I don’t have any method. I just like the person I am. Of course, sometimes I realize I don’t like some features of my character. But then I just work on it. I think that for everyone is clear that it is more important to be yourself rather than to be the person who other people want to. In other case everyone would be the same, no one would be original.
ReplyDeleteI accept myself. Of course I have complexes as everyone. But I don't focus on them, I am choosing those character traits and physical characteristics that I like about myself and heighten it. We are all different and it is beautiful. You have to love yourself, to believe that anyone can make love you. I think many people today have a problem with that.
ReplyDeleteMy advice? Stop looking on the actors, musicians, models - they are not real, they was created by many of stylists, hairdressers and graphics programs such as Photoshop.
Yes, I do accept myself. Why? It is an answer for Your second question - I think that being true with myself is more important than trying to pretend to be someone else, even for a short period of time. I think, that if we do not accept ourselves, there is no reason for others to do that. How to accept yourself? I think it's very simple. You should spend more time on analysing things than just replying what other people say. Be consistent and remember, that nobody is perfect.
ReplyDeleteI accept who I am, but answearing why is very hard. There is a quote 'be yourself because everybody else is already taken' and I totally agree with that. There was a time that I was not accepting myself, when I was growing up I used to have many defects like too big nose, too long teeth. Then, my mom said that in my age I am like my puppy which has too long tail and too short front legs because some parts grow faster and some of them grow slower, and it was right because later that big parts stopped growing and now everything matches perfectly. I think that we are all beautiful in our own way and the key to accept is to find our good parts, things which make us strong.
ReplyDeleteI think that accepting ourselves is first step to make our lives satisfying and happy. It is almost impossible to achieve inner harmony and evolve without self-acceptance. Therefore it is essential to work on self-acceptance and the best method for that, in my opinion, is to become our own best friend and be aware, that we are only humans and we can be imperfect or sometimes wrong.
ReplyDeleteOf course, we should accept ourselves, otherwise we will be frustrated all the time. We cannot compare ourselves to the others, we must appreciate what we have and who we are - it is very special. But there is a huge danger in this kind of thinking. Accepting ourselves does not mean resting on our laurels. We should develop ourselves and trying to be better every day.

ReplyDelete1. When it comes to me, it cannot be denied that I've got a problem with accepting my appearance. Every time when I have to say what I like in my appearance, I have many obstacles to do it. It is thoughtless for some people but I really attempt to overcome my problem. I don't only complain about my appearance but I try my best to change it. I work out on a gym, make some exercise twice a week like TBC and crossfit, I love jogging and spend time close to the nature. I avoid sugary products and try to keep fit. I have a consciousness that everything I do, help me to accept every disadvantages. Unfortunately, my problem is connected with physical issues, with self-esteem which is too low. But I don't have any problems with accepting my personality. I'm really satisfied with it. I can overcome every problems and obstacles which are besides me, and I like the most my ability of being motivated.
ReplyDelete2. Of course, for me the most important is being myself. It is really thoughtless to pretend somebody who we aren't, to act like somebody want to. It's really hard not to be yourself. It leads to many problems with personality, it's also exhausted. Some people have a "weak personality" and they want to submit to people who are commanding and have a "strong personality" rather than jump the gun. But it cannot be denied that everybody should try to preserve independence and difference. In some cases children who aren't accepted want to join to the hermetic group of people, that's why they go against themselves. It could lead to many annoyances.
3. How to accept yourself? The best way is to have friends and family who want to support you. Many children are said to be praised by parents. That's why child have an opportunity to develop itself and be more self-confident. People who have problem with obesity, should try to accept their body or change their habits. It couldn't be as simple as they wish but hard working creates miracles. If you don't have any pressure and motivation to change your life, try to find only willingness to go to psychologist. It could help you to accept your body, personality and overcome everything which was impossible for you.
The key to feel important and accept yourself without any effort is to be praised by parents. They are the first to speak to us and the first to learn us. We take their words as truth until we realise we can have an opinion as well.
ReplyDeleteI fully accept myslef. Yet, I'm aware, that I might be better. This means that I want to change myself but I will not complain about present "me".
ReplyDeleteI think "being yourself" is always the only option. Some people just don't realize that they may be different then they are told to be.

ReplyDeleteHonestly, I accept myself - my personality and my body. I know that I have some defects, which should be worked out by me and I try to be better person. But, these defects don't make me feel depressed or frustrated. They make me normal, make me human being - we all have some problems and disadventages, because nobody is perfect!
ReplyDeleteI consider myself as a confident person. I don't have any serious problem with acceptance myself. I dealt with my problems in the past but i got throught. I gain the confidence in my strenght. I always try to focus on my better side so other people cannot notice the worse one. However I don't do this for others, for show because what you think of yourself is more important than what people think of you. When no one else believe in you, you have to rely on your own faith. That makes you a winner.
ReplyDeleteAny other clues? Well, all you need is trust yourself and know you can handle what comes up. And remember always expect the best!
I think that self acceptation is one of the most important things. You spend whole life with yourself. Because of that, in my opinion, everyone should fight with people who want to make you diefferent, when you don't want them changes. It's also important to know that nobody's perfect. Even if you have perfect body or skin, be sure that it won't solve all your problems.
ReplyDeleteI think that the most important thing is to be comfortable with both yourself and your behaviour. If you are somehow embarrassed by or not okay with who you are or how you act, then you should change it. It's useless to keep on telling yourself that it's okay to be you if you yourself don't accept it. I treat smoothing out my own flaws like walking over stepping stones towards the person who I really want to be. Self awareness is crucial for self improvement as long as it's not pessimistic to an unhealthy degree.
ReplyDeleteI believe that the best way of realising that it's alright to have flaws is realising that you are not, in fact, the centre of the world and other people are not the backdrop for your life. All these other people who you think are judging you have their own flaws and worries- and will forget you as quick as you will forget them. Nobody's perfect.
I accept myself, knowing that I'm not perfect and there's a long way before me to become much better person than now. You see, I believe in state progress. Everyday we need to develop ourselves to keep up our state of mind and be sure that we really special.
ReplyDeleteIn some situations we want to be accepted by others so, sometimes we share the same opinions.On the other hand, being yourself make us unique and original and that is alos important. I think I would rather be yourself as an individual person rather than boring guy, who thinks and have the same passion like the others.
In order to accept ourselves, we need to accept that we have some disadvantages, then we have to find strength and erase them to become happy.
I have always had a problem with accepting myself, and i still got one. I can honestly say that thanks to my friends I am learning to like myself, I don"t know what would do without them. I think that many young people has a problem with that, and I think that we can blame media and society. If I find a solution for low self esteem I will let you know :)
ReplyDeleteOf course I accept myslef! I think that we all should accept ourselves, because first we have to accept ourselves and then we can require acceptance of other people. Life is just easier when we accept ourselves. We have to realise that no body is perfect and it's nomal. I think that the answear is so obvious, the most important thing is to be yourself, you can't pretened that you're someone else all the time. I don't have any ideas how to accept yourself, it should be something natural and obvious for everyone. Just focus on your advantages!
ReplyDeleteI think that I accept yourself but sometimes I have bad days. Then I would like to lose weight, have londer hair or be taller. It is funny but I forget about it after several days when I meet or do something nice.
ReplyDeleteFor me more important is be yourself. I must feel good in my body and in clothes which I wear. Everybody is different and somebody do not be like me.
To me mind I accept yourself because I aim to perform my dreams. I do what I want and I don't check other people out. I strive to groom and wake up everyday with a smile on face.
I accept myself but I have got problems with some parts of myself like little overweight - I know it isn't big but I need to fight with it. So in my opinion we sometimes should look on ourself critically, because then we want to change this!
ReplyDeleteFor my, truly, is more important to be yourself but it's like 65% and rest for how others see me. Lots of people are saying if we feel good than others see us happy and better look like. I think people can sometimes also show us what we really should change and it is possible we don't see or don't want to see that :)
We can't only "accept ourself", we should all the time practise to be good, try to change ourself but of course in way we want, not others.
It's very difficult topic for me. Most of the time I have problems with accepting myself. I remember when I was 6 years old I started to wear glasses. So I thought that it was the biggest imperfection that can be ever. Many classmates were laughing at me so I have problems with my self-appraisal till nowadays. Sometimes I even can't look at the mirror because I can't accept myself. But I try to solve this problem and learn every day how to love myself more.
ReplyDeleteOf course it's comfortable for me to be myself, but I know that sometimes I can change myself for people whom I love more then myself.
For me, the best way to start accepting myself is to spend time alone with virgin nature and to feel incredible connection with it. It helps to forget about all of your imperfections and just to feel how individual you are and what part of the beauty you are.
Going through puberty was really difficult especially because of learning how to accept yourself. But I learned that the most important thing is to be your own friend. If you wouldn't go along with someone like you, maybe think about what you should change and try to achieve that. For me, being critical to yourself isn't a bad thing, remember that they are some features impossible to improve which we have to become accustomed to.
ReplyDeleteYes, I accept myself, but of course I have things in me which I don't like to. But, generally, I accept myself, beacuse I agree with my outlook, I accept my imperfections and I accept my character - I live in peace with myself.
ReplyDeleteMore important for me it's being myself, because I am aware of myself and I know that I don't have to be like another people around the world. I'm myself and I'm unique!
I think that in this article was a lot of really good tips how to accept yourself. I can add one advice "Be yourself, do what you like to do, don't look at other. Let them look behind you".
Usually I accept myself, but sometimes there are days, when I don't like anything about myself (neither appearance nor inside). I believe that we all should be brave enough to just be who we are - don't pretend anything to gain other people's liking. Everyone is special and different and others should respect that. There is no point in faking. Each person would expect us to behave in different way - it's impossible not to go insane because of that!
ReplyDeleteSelf-acceptance is a key to enjoy life and to love properly other people. When we realise that, it would be easier for us to accept ourself. We should focus on our strong points and try to fight our weaknesses. If there is something we can do about our insecurities, we should do it. But if not, we should just accept them, because we can't change them.
I believe everybody had problems with self-acceptance in their life. It's really difficult and may be very devastating especially at puberty. I really hate this corny philosophy such as "Love yourself" or "Your weight does not matter". Come on, of course that nowadays appearance is the most important aspect for people. It's sad but true. We can accept ourselves and it's wonderful but people will always point out our drawbacks. So we can just don't care or try to change things which pose the problems. If people say you are fat, take them down and lose some weight. The satisfaction will be great.
ReplyDeleteRemember that it is difficult for people to accept you if you do not accept yourself.
I do not always accept myself. There are many things in me that I would like to change, both in character and in appearance.
ReplyDeleteI am definitely a person who is always me. I do not like to pretend to be someone else just to please others. I can often be considered an unpleasant person because I always say what I think. However, I value honesty and I can not imagine changing my mind to suit other people.
My way of accepting myself is the concept of my own uniqueness. We must understand that there is no other man in the world, and it depends on us what we will be like. That is why we should try to improve ourselves every day.
I think that I usually accept myself. Of course, I am aware of my faults and if possible I try to work on them, but at the same time I do not feel bad about them. I think that if we do not accept ourselves, no one else will accept us, that's why the key to happy relationships with other people is to love yourself first.
ReplyDeleteYes, I accept myself. I have complex as everyone, but I try to turn my back on my imperfections. I think that focusing on our character and strengths are better options because we can build our confidence. I’m convinced that being yourself is important. We should make friends with people who accept us and don’t require changes in our behaviour or interests. Today, there are a lot of things which influence self-perception. We see models who have perfect bodies or skin, and it can led to rejecting ourselves.

ReplyDeleteI definitely accept myself,of course like everyone, I have few things that I hate, but despite it I love myself (I highly recomend this feeling!). First step to do it, it’s finding yourself, only then you can say „I accept/love myself”. Without that you are only a mass of opinion of other people, you trying to be like one of them or all of them. Then you aren’t living your life. After you fine yourself, you will realise that how many you have already lost of your beautiful life! Everyone is unique and everyone has own unique body, unique character and unique soul. So love YOUR life!
I do not accept myself, but I'm working on it. It is not so easy when you live in the idealized world of social-media and everyone wants to have a good existence, so he puts a lot of pressure on himself. On the Internet, many people are different than in real life and this leads to their loss, which is why I think it is more important to be yourself. To help in self-acceptance, we should stop comparing ourselves to others. We should understand that everyone is an individual who is important. Once we understand this, we should begin to respect our body, mind and time. Eat healthier, read, rest, do not waste time on things you do not want to do and / or it won't bring nothing good to your life.
ReplyDeleteI think I accept myself. Of course there are some things that I want to fix, but I think everyone wants to change something for better. For me more important is to be yourself. I think It’s compared. If you are not fake, other people feel that your feelings and behaviours are real. That’s why it’s better to not lie yourself and others about your character. If you want to accept yourself try to not think only about your defects. Do a lot of things to make yourself happy. Do some sports and try to realise your hobbies. It will help you to love you the way you are.
ReplyDeleteI do accept myself, but it was a long and hard way. For me most importnat is beeing yourself, you do not accept yourself if you will try to be somebody else who people will like. I think importnat to self - acceptance is accepting your body and the way you look, not be afraid of defeats and most important: do not compare yourself with others, because everybody is different.
ReplyDeleteI think that I don't have a problem with accepting my appearance but sometimes I have doubts and negative thought about my personality and behaviors. When I was younger I was straggling with how I look like, but with age this negative thinking stopped. I often feel like I'm not good enough for other people to hang out with, maybe because many times in the past I lost friends. I think that more important for me is being myself. I know I have my flaws and insecurities, but at the same time I'm aware that I have a lot to offer for others, and I don't get why they wouldn't accept me the way I am. If we would all behave and act the same way world would be a boring place. I guess there are some way to accept yourself. Talking to people that straggled in the past with the same stuff seems good. Doing some sports, right diet are always good for you. Looking for some new passions and hobbies might also distract you.

ReplyDeleteUsually I accept myself, but I have a lot of things in my apperance or behaviour that could be changed. I am trying to do everything to make myself better.More important for me is being myself, because if someone is our true friend he will accept our disadvantages. Pretending to be someone is meaningless. I think the great idea to accept yourself is starting to do something for example exercise or meet with other people.
ReplyDeleteWell, I know something about groundless fear of not being accepted by other people. Lack of self-acceptance often assists that fear. Overweight or other defect of the body can make the state only worse. In my opinion, the best remedy for that are friends. If you don’t have any, the best way to find them is meeting new people and getting know them better. It sometimes seems to be difficult but It’s worth to use some situations in our life like changing schools, starting study, new job, changing a place of living. Believe me or not but when you find friends who like spending time with you, who tell you that you are great person and who wish you never changed, you will feel that you are accepted, you will feel that you can be yourself without trying be someone different, you will feel great and you will forget about the groundless fear of not being accepted and defects of your body won’t even bother you anymore.
ReplyDeleteAccepting ourselves is a very common problem. Personally, I accept myself because I have always believed that it's not important how do I look like - I have to feel good and be a good person. If someone think that I'm fat or ugly - that's not my problem, I won't think so just because someone else has such an opinion. That's the key - don't worry about others' opinion, just be yourself.
ReplyDeleteI have got problems with accepting myself because it's strongly connected with my rather pessimistic nature and with self-esteem which is too low. In addition, I'm kind of a perfectionist so I often blame myself for every mistake and it's sometimes hard for me to deal with failures. But I still work on accepting myself.
ReplyDeleteI strongly agree with Kurt Cobain's quote: "wanting to be someone else is a waste of a person you are". It's obvious that each person has a different personality and it's really hard to be accepted or admired by everyone but there is no point in being someone's copy just to fit in society. So for me being myself is the most important. But we can't forget about respecting others' points of view or others' beliefs.
I don’t accept myself fully. It’s probably because for the most of my life I was training and I was very skinny. It all changed about 6 years ago and from this moment I started gaining weight. I’m not fat but I’m not as skinny as I would like to be.
ReplyDeleteI’m always myself and I can’t understand why some people act like somebody else. Acting like somebody else must be tiring and can’t make you fully happy. Being yourself makes other people know your true self and in this way, they can really know you. When you act like somebody else then people like you because of this "mask" and can betray you when you will show them your true face.
Change the things in you that you don’t like or simply accept them. Life is too short to overthink. Your life is in your hands and it's up to you to make it memorable.
I accept myself. I think that I am good person and I feel good. I do not care about other people opinion. In my opinion more important is to be yourself. We can not try to be the person that everyone wants us to be because we will not be happy and that can end up with serious health problems or mental issues. To accept ourselves I think we have to think positive and do not care about others opinion
ReplyDeleteI rather accept myself. I have awarness about all my disadventages, but it can't make me sad about myself. I used to hate myself as a teenager, but now, when I'am young adult, I think that it's better to like yourself and to live with my body and my mind in peace.
ReplyDeleteOf course, I think being yourself is better than acting someonelse. Lying about yourself can makes a few problems and makes you feel very bad. Futhermore - people likes authentic and honest people.
How to accept yourself? I think everyone have to realise the disadventages and adventages of ourself. Just make an honest list of this things. It can hepls, because you can make it up with things you don't ike and make you notice the things that are great in You.
Yes, I accept myself, because I know that there's no more human such as me. Me with my pros and cons - I am unique. :) Of course, I try to be better and better, but not at a push. I think that it is very, very relevant to can accept yourself. Then you can sleep peacefully. And when we will be confident, others will have a recpect for us.
ReplyDeleteFor me it is not only more, but THE MOST IMPORTANT to be oneself! People around me won't be all time these same, but I must exist all life with myself...
No, I think that there's no prescription "how to accept yourself". I know that a lot of people have a problem to accept yourself and I think that they can't see in oneself any good qualities, because they focus on their disadvantages. A first step to accept yourself is: close your eyes for your weakness and open up to see your virtue.
I accept myself completely. Why? Because everything I don't like, I can change at every moment. Only I decide who I am, how I look and what clothes I wear. A lot of girls in my age have complexes about their body. I really can't understand it! Warning! - The truth is brutal! People don't care enough for anyone to think about him for more than a few minutes during the week. You aren't so important to the others, to think about you for a long time! So why do we have to worry about who is thinking about us? Everyone has their problems, duties, classes. Nobody has time to wonder if you have size 38 or 40. Lose weight, if you feel better with less weight, but do it just for yourself! Of course there're still haters in the world. But... do you really care about the opinion of someone who has never achieved anything in his life and deals only with the lives of other people? That would be absurd, right?
ReplyDeletequestions:
ReplyDelete1.
I would say that self acceptance is a pretty difficult task in my life. I find it especially difficult to find a balance between striving for being better (what is an important drive in our lives) and not becoming impatient or disappointed with my imperfections. I think that this perfect idea of ourselves that we create in our head is useful in some way - it gives us a goal, a direction for our self development, but it's also important to love ourselves the way we are.
3.
I would say probably using affirmations, coaching, meditation, uderstanding that no one is perfect and imperfections are also beautiful in some way, and definitely avoiding comparison. Everybody is different and has unique abilities, strengths, so 'comparing to someone else is an insult to yourself'. Comparison is the best way to ignore your own advantages while becoming depressed by your flaws. We can also start comparing too much to our 'ideal self' and we might get too critical or harsh towards ourselves because of some level of disparity between the two...
So the best not to be offended by others is not to listen to others... Well that's true - beeing to much concerned about what people are saying about you might be overwhelming, however sometimes it's good to listen - maybe they are some small things that can be easily changed and you will feel better about it? It's rather a personal topic and everyone might have different opinions about it...
ReplyDeleteEveryone should accept themselves. It might be hard if we don’t like something in our appearance or character but hopefully a lot of things can be changed. Nowadays it is even easier than earlier. There are many professions (such as psychologist, therapist, stylist, personal trainer or plastic surgeon) created just to help us look and feel better.
ReplyDeleteThe most important is to remember to change for yourself, not for other people. People have various styles. Trends are changing very fast and they are different in different countries. You can’t please everyone. Just be yourself and let people accept you just the way you are.
This article is about the self-acceptation. The text contains the information about some aspects that can influence bad attitude to yourself. The author gives some pieces of advice that help people to accept themselves.
ReplyDeleteIn the modern world there is a problem with self-acceptation of people. To my mind, this problem existed in all times. If a person does not like some aspects of his personality such as the weight or some traits of face or body, there is a great solution to try to repair this part of the body. If it is not real, a great advice is just to accept yourself.
To my mind, it is much more important to be yourself rather than to be a person who another people want to see. A person should not copy anyone he should create his own maybe new kind of personality. A person should learn his possibilities. Maybe, he could bring something new to the world.
A person should try to accept himself. He should find positive aspects of his body and his life. A person should also try to give something new to the world. To my mind, it is also a good idea to create your own clothes style etc. If a person is not satisfied with the parts of his body or life that can be “repaired”, he should do some actions in order to correct the aspects.
In conclusion I can say that it is important to accept yourself and a person can also try to bring something new to the world, and the first step to it is to accept himself.
I strongly believe that no matter what I am wearing or how slim I am I should accept myself and I try to do it. Although it is not so easy I focus on my merits and abilities. That is not to say that I have not negative qualities. From my point of view it is one of ideas “How to accept yourself”. Nobody is perfect and everybody has some weaknesses. I am inclined to believe that definitely more important is being yourself than be the person who another people want to. The most crucial is high self-assessment and self-confidence. There is no point in being looked up to by people whereas you are miserable. Everybody does not have to like or accept you. What is more, people are different and they have various expectations.
ReplyDeleteI don't accept myself and I've never felt it before. It's the reason of having zero ideas about how accept myself. I don't like how I look like and how I am. I know that the best solution is being yourself and love what life brings, but unluckily, I feel that it's completely not for me.
ReplyDeleteFor me question "is it important to be yourself" needs to answer question "What is it "I","being"". These question are difficult and I doubt if there will be answers anymore.
ReplyDeleteI think I am feeling good with myself. I don't know why, I think that emotions aren't rational
It’s natural that everyone want to be accept by other people. It’s easier to accept yourself , when we know that another people like and accept us. But more important is being yourself than try to get acceptation another people. I don’t know how to accept yourself, I think that there aren’t one the best way. It depends on things, which we don’t accept. We can work on our disadvantages and try improve this or just accept it, if we know that we can’t change it.
ReplyDeleteI think accepting yourself is very hard thing to do. In our world (filled with stereotypes and unreal standards) it is very hard to love yourself. Every day you need to face "real world" who is trying to destroy you. People don't like those who is different from them, so they are trying to make everybody the same. You need to be very strong and courage person to be yourself.
ReplyDeleteYour self-esteem affects your whole life and, in my opinion, without accepting yourself you can’t be a happy person and even love someone else. That’s why it’s a crucial thing to learn how to love yourself. But it’s not easy, especially in today’s world when we have constant access to the factory of complexes known as Internet or, precisely, Instagram. We see all those perfect people, with perfect bodies and generally perfect lives. Without money problems, unemployment, without family arguments. We see girls who have ideal skin and boys with six-pack and huge bicepses. But it’s only an illusion because everyone has his own problems even if he try to keep it in secret. We should remember about it and stop compare ourselves to other people.
ReplyDeleteAccepting yourself is an incredibly difficult task, many struggle with throughout their whole life...Some people also take it as granted that they're perfect and don't bother even thinking about it. There is a deep water of psychology about self-esteem, ego and all that other stuff that could be jumped into but it's not a topic for a short comment. What matters that accepting yourself isn't a thing you do over a night, its a process that takes long time, and that satisfaction and the end of the path should be well worth it.

ReplyDeleteFirst question is a very personal one. Generally I accept myself but sometimes there are days when I would say that I hate myslef. Sometimes I’m too lazy, too fat, too mad, too…well, you will always find something what,s wrong or bad in yourself. The best thing you can do is to stop thinking that way and try to focus on positive issues.
Aswering on the 2nd question I have to say something about conception of social role. In every situation, in every place, in every group we are someone that has a role – like an actor. It doesn’t mean that we are not ourselves. I think that all our roles in society create us and who we are.
If we have no regrets, if we like ourself then everything is okey and we could be happy with ourselves first.
I can agree with the statement that I accept myself. I am aware that people are so different and everybody have other advantages, disadvantages and skills. Even when sometimes I am jealous of something that other person has I remember that I have some features that other people also can be jealous of.
ReplyDeleteI think that more important for me is being myself but I also try to not disappoint for example my parents. I just try to be good person but also develope myself and not be afraid of what other people would say.
In my opinion if somebody does not accept himself/herself, this person should reach for a reading or maybe watch some movies with a messages. Finding hobbies and our strong sides are also crucial in accepting who we are.
Now, questions for you:
ReplyDelete1. Do you accept yourself? Why/Why not?
2. What is more important for you: being yourself or be the person who another people want to? Why?
3. Do you have any ideas “How to accept yourself?”?
I do accept myself. I feel good with my body and soul. But accepting does not mean that I'm not aware of my imperfections, weak point or I deny them. I do know what I'm good at or what my strengths are and weaknesses to work on, but still having the acceptance for them.
Because I like myself I want to be myself , not anybody else so not trying to be someone the other people would like me to be. I may listen to others , especially when I know they care about me and want my best , but the final decisions who I want to be is for me to be taken.And I'm trying to always who I want to be.
When your actions/decisions follow your values, they are good for you and others you may always accept yourself. Your soul say so. So that is not difficult then.
Ofcourse sometimes I have these days, when I hate my body, and generally all of myself, but I'm working and trying to accept myself as I am. Nowadays I am quite content with who I am as a person, the bigger issue for me is to be body positive, but as author says, sport makes it better, even if you don't lose weight when exercising, which is unlikely, your skin looks better, your posture changes and your body gets in a better shape.
ReplyDeleteAlso, to me the better thing is to be yourself, I've always been taught that by my parents, also my primary school was very open and everyone was safe being who they were, so I cannot really understand people who try so hard to fit in, that they become somebody else trying.
I think that the main thing is to make sure that you're fully aware that all these models in magazines and girls of instagram are photoshopped and also spend half of their lives in the gym and eating healthy, or even fasting, so you shouldn't compare yourself to them. Also, thinking about your virtues may help.
Self-acceptance is a vital matter in our life. However, many of us don't know how to get it. I think we should compare less, at least in this negative way.Let's better focus on our characterics, thing we have to share. It helps me to accept myself because I know I did my best and it was MY line to cross. Especially we put too much weight on imperfection when it comes to appearance. No wonder, we live in completely material world of Instagram where the most important thing is how you look. There's no way to always satisfy the others doesn't matter if it's our look, work or life style.That's why I just want to feel fulfilled, to be want I want me to be.
ReplyDeleteI think that self-care is a great option when it comes to accepting ourselves. We need to take care of our mind and body, loving things in us that we consider as imperfections. People also need to be themselves and stop looking for others' appreciation.
ReplyDeleteLike any man, I see some imperfections in me. Despite this, I accept myself, if I don't like working on it, I want to change it if I can. I always try to be myself and not pretend to be someone I'm not. My idea of accepting myself is to reward if there is something I don't like, I will highlight something else I feel better about.
ReplyDelete1. I am getting closer everyday to fully accept myself. It isn't easy but when I was younger it was even worse. Now I kinda feel good with myself because when I don't like something in me, e.g. my appearance or attitude, I work on it and try to change it.
ReplyDelete2. Being myself is more important for me. I don't think that we should change just because somebody expects it from us because if we don't want it, we won't be happy. Moreover, the person that expects changes from us doesn't try to fit in our expectations, so why should we?
3. As far as I am concerned, the best way to accept yourself is to work on things that we would like to change in ourselves. Even if we won't be able to change it, we are still working on it and I believe that it makes us stronger and more confident, because we take our lives in our hands.
Nowadays it’s hard to accept yourself. We see other people, we compare constantly. Compare yourself with others, most often with people who are better than us. We compare ourselves with people worse than us in order to assert ourselves. This is all useless and not necessary. We lose our identity, we lose ourselves. You need to try to love yourself and improve.
