To love yourself, you have to open up and love other people. Be brave and force yourself to approach new people. Look around you. Observe the world and offer up your thoughts. People are interested. They want to be loved, to be listened to, to share, and connect. It’s okay to be uncomfortable about initiating conversation with new people, but put that discomfort aside. The most positive interactions and relationships develop from putting yourself out there and making a serendipitous connection with another person.
