    I can honestly say that I have sought out to love others unconditionally. However, I can never feel satisfied for low self-esteem and the issue that I don't know myself as well as I should.
    Could this self conflict cause depression and mood issues?

    Maybe. Have you seen a doctor or even a counselor? If not, why not?

    No, I have not. "Why not?" I can't exactly say. I didn't start having issues with who I was until about a year and a half ago; so that may be why I never pursued help with unanswered questions for inner conflict.
    I have heard that a person is unable to love unless they love themselves. I'm not saying your advice is wrong or bad, I do appreciate it, but how can I completely give in to love to others if I'm incapable of loving and appreciating myself?

    I am a counselor, by the way.

    If you can reach out and show love and caring to others, you will learn how to love yourself.

    Do volunteer work at an animal shelter or hospital or nursing home and lose yourself in the experience.

How to learn [ 7 Answers ]

I would say education is being valued today... however it's becoming one-sided. Most teachers and educators value the abstract subjects such as math and science and some would go as far as to say that the arts are counter-productive and unessential.
