In our society I see people with way to much love for themselves or not enough. It seems like everyone has low self esteem and makes negative comments about themselves. At the same time we live in a remarkably selfish society that loves itself and others if it's convenient. There is a certain healthy level of living yourself, you are God's child and He creates everything beautiful. Jesus tells us to live our neighbor as ourself, which means we first have to love ourself. But you are a mess, so am I, we should always be striving to do better than we are right now. The world isn't going to cater to you and your life shouldn't be all about you or else you'll be miserable. Your life should help others and honor God, the purpose isn't you. You need to find the right level of loving yourself in your life, I can't tell you exactly how much love you ought to have for you. When you figure out how to love yourself you probably also figure out things like forgiving yourself and when to treat yourself.
