How to accept yourself?

Write down your strengths. "Humans are flaw collectors," says one psychologist. We can write a bunch of our faults, but we can't see our strengths. To please your self, write down: what did I overcome today? What goals were accomplished? What progress was made from before? Who praised me? Look over these words often, and you will become happy. 3. Choose the right circle of friends. As the saying goes, those who are close to you are the ones who are close to you. Socialize more with people who praise you and give you confidence. If someone is constantly complaining about his life, constantly infecting you with his negativity, and seldom giving you encouragement and acknowledgement, then stay away from him. 4. Forgive yourself for making mistakes. Dissatisfaction and regrets about the past can hinder self-acceptance. In reality, mistakes don't represent failures; they're just opportunities for us to grow. So, when regrets occur, ask yourself 3 questions: Can I afford these regrets? Do I deserve to be forgiven? Under the circumstances, what benefit did this choice bring me? Then, thankfully accept yourself for making the mistake and move on. 5. Clarify your inner will. Often times, being hard on yourself stems from irrational beliefs. When disappointed in yourself, think about what I would like to be made into. What will I gain by doing this? Why is gaining this so important to me? Is what I am doing now necessarily preventing me from achieving these? 6. Don't think of the good you can do. When you help others, the positive feedback from them makes you feel better about yourself. And, you'll feel beautiful when you realize you've made a positive impact on someone else's life. 7. give yourself permission to be selfish. A lot of people feel that they shouldn't lose their temper, that they shouldn't be petty or selfish. But the truth is, these are all human ****ing weaknesses, and it's in our nature to do it once in a while. So don't be hard on yourself. When we are forgiving enough to ourselves, others will give you more love and make you feel worthy of being loved. It is important to note that pleasing your self does not mean that you have to turn a blind eye to the problems you have. We still need to look at ourselves, find the deficiencies, and make changes to those parts of us that we can control.
