Do you agree?
“It is an absolute human certainty that no one can know his own beauty or perceive a sense of his own worth until it has been reflected back to him in the mirror of another loving, caring human being.”
~ John Joseph Powell, The Secret of Staying in Love

When we're children, yes, and by getting it back from others we learn healthy ways to give it to ourselves -- so that when we meet up with other people we can give it from within instead of it being a needy gesture based on emptiness. Then we can also recognize it from others.

@MissKathleen You're awesome!
I disagree... Self esteem contradicts this... Feeling good about yourself does not require other people...
