Do You Have to Love Yourself Before Someone Else Can?

There’s a common belief that, in order to truly love others, you must first love yourself. In order to have happy and healthy relationships with others, especially in romantic relationships, the thinking goes, individuals must first believe that they are lovable people of value themselves. Indeed, entire schools of thought in therapeutic settings within psychology have been focused on this very idea, such as person centeredtherapy and rational-emotive therapy.
What does it mean to love yourself in a manner that benefits not only you as an individual but also your interpersonal relationships? Researchers have long focused on high levels of self-esteem as the primary way that people feel good about themselves. As discussed in previous posts here, high compared to low levels of self-esteem generally predict individuals pursuing closeness and connection in their romantic relationships, especially when facing threatening circumstances (Murray, Holmes, & Collins, 2006).
But self-esteem can be a mixed blessing when it comes to relationships. Specifically, highself-esteem, although related to some positive relationship behaviors, is only weakly linked to overall relationship health (Campbell & Baumeister, 2004). People can actually behave quite destructively toward relationship partners when they feel that those partners have threatened their self-esteem in some way (i.e., insulted them).
So how else might people be able to feel positively about themselves that doesn’t come along with the risks of high self-esteem? Recently, researchers have started investigating a slightly different type of self-love, called self-compassion, as an alternative source of positive self-feelings that can benefit romantic and non-romantic relationships alike. Self-compassion involves viewing yourself—including your flaws— with kindness and acceptance, and not being overly focused or identified with negative emotions. It involves acknowledging your connection to the many others in the world who have likely been where you are now at some point in their lives (Neff, 2003). Self-compassion is generally positively tied to individual psychological functioning. It’s associated with feelings of well-being; self-compassionate people report more happinessoptimism, life satisfaction, and other positive emotional outcomes compared to those who harshly judge themselves (e.g., Neff, 2003).
Recent work suggests that self-compassion may also be highly beneficial for relationship outcomes. The very nature of self-compassion as a construct that highlights individuals’ connections to other people should mean that it has positive consequences in close relationships. Based on this rationale, Neff and Beretvas (2013) examined whether being self-compassionate was related to positive relationship behaviors in romantic relationships, such as being more caring and supportive with partners. They recruited approximately 100 couples for their study and examined how individuals’ reports of self-compassion predicted their partner’s perceptions of their behavior in the relationship. They found that more self-compassionate individuals displayed more positive relationship behavior—such as being more caring and supportive, and less verbally aggressive or controlling—than those who were less self-compassionate. Beyond that, more self-compassionate individuals and their partners reported higher levels of overall relationship well-being.
