When someone tells you they don’t love them self so they can’t love anyone else, is that a cop out or to be believed?

    The truth is “you can’t give away what you don’t have.”  So if you don’t love yourself you just can’t feel and show love to someone else.  You can be in a relationship but the relationship will be a troubled one.  But this is on a much deeper level (not usually a conscience level) than someone saying to you “I don’t love myself so I can’t love you the way you deserve to be loved”.  Or what about “I just got out of a relationship and I’m still hurting so I’m not ready to be in another relationship.” (gag me!!!!)  If someone is actually saying that, it’s either a cop out or they better get to working on themselves and their self esteem.  Did I adequately explain that?  If not , let me know.

    I agree.  If someone really means they don’t love themself enough to be able to love anyone else – they wouldn’t be able to hold any kind of relationship to begin with to express that.  If they told you this in response to you wanting more from them – my experience is – it’s a cop out.  Sorry.

      I have problems telling people I love them.Grown people,I I think its both,myself and the other person,more myself than them.Im not happy with myself and it magnifys my impatience toward who they are.Im not sure I could totally love another that way.Some people I think can love or give more than others.When Iam away from someone I think more of them than I do when Im around them.I pay attention to to much detail.Anyway with all that being said he probably doesnt have the same feelings for you that you do for him,but possibly only because of who he is.Im not sure its a copout perhaps he cares alot for you.Saying I love You is not as easy.
