Dear Alice,
People keep telling me to "accept myself," but I have
no idea what that is. What does "self-acceptance" feel
like?
Dear Reader,
No one is perfect and almost everyone has aspects of themselves
they wish they could improve upon or change. It’s also common
for people to be their own worst critic and focus on the negative
rather than their positive and admirable qualities.
Self-acceptance is an acceptance of all these qualities and
attributes, both positive and negative, without judging yourself
for them. Sometimes self-acceptance is confused with self-esteem,
which is how you value yourself based on those traits and
attributes. Self-acceptance is all about seeing and acknowledging
flaws and accomplishments without defining yourself by them.
