What does it mean to have a healthy relationship with yourself?

Question

I hear people say you need to love yourself before you can love someone else but I don't really understand what that means in practice. What does having a healthy relationship with yourself actually look like?

It means treating yourself with the same kindness you would give a good friend. Meeting your own needs, setting boundaries, forgiving your mistakes, and spending time with yourself without distraction.

Practically it means you don't need constant external validation to feel okay. You can sit with yourself comfortably and you make decisions based on your values, not fear.
