My friend cannot reconcile the love for me with the lack of self love. And the entire STS thing is based on that: People deeply loving other-selves, but not loving the self enough to face the illusion of inadequacy compared to the other-selves they love so deeply. They wouldn't take that path if they felt safe. They wouldn't take that path if the didn't love other-selves deeply, but fear they themselves to be unworthy of the love they feel went unreciprocated...
