id say that you haven't truly grasped the concept of true love
that may be part of whats holding you back though...its not something that can be legitimately conceptualized without actualization
I think yes.....if you misinterpret what love is and then attempt to chase it with an idea of solely benefitting yourself then you would run the risk of narcissism and a toxic inflated ego
but don't delude yourself into thinking that ignorance is bliss and severing portions of yourself would help you love yourself fully.........by definition this is flawed logic
self awareness is the first step towards loving yourself completely and entirely. We need to be able to recognize our flaws and sacrifice our ego.... the ego wants us to think we need to be perfect in order to be something worth loving.
