Self-Love or Narcissism?

If you know me then you know how I’ve always been open with my thoughts regarding self-love. I feel that before you begin to love someone else, it's important that you learn to love yourself... how one needs to understand that we are who we are and that we should learn to be complete on our own. No offense to those in a relationship, good for you! But I hope you have your personal space to grow and that you're not giving up your own identity in the process of being 'the right person' for someone else rather than being right with yourself. 

It's funny how I'm writing all this shit and I know for a fact that this stuff is easier said than done and I actually struggle with following these rules myself. 

I just want to say that It’s okay to not to talk to those people who bring negativity in your life or to not entertain the people who make you feel small and insignificant in any way, people who say something, act something and do something entirely different. It's okay if you don't open up quickly and take your own time to adjust with people, for those who really care would be willing to wait as long as you want them to.

But how does one understand and know as to where to draw a line between loving yourself and being egoistic/ selfish/ narcissist.

A person who doesn't care about how his reaction would affect others and all they can think about is their own interests and well being. A person who just can't get enough form talking about himself, his dreams, his goals, his day, his problems, his achievements, his happiness, his sadness and not caring to even for once ask others, "How're you doing? Are you okay?". A person who is too blind to look through and be a little considerate. 

Wouldn’t it rather make you a source of negativity for others? Isn’t sometimes doing something just to make ourselves feel good and not to give a fuck about how others might feel, is wrong on so many levels? It's like you're wearing a 'Fuck you' board on your neck or something like that.

So,
How far should one go in the pursuit of attaining the acceptance for oneself without blaming others or harming other people’s emotions in the process?
Tell me what are your thoughts regarding it. 


Ok, bye.
