That's NOT Self-Love

It seems that a lot of people have a misperception about what loving yourself is. Admittedly, the words self-love and self-esteem come with a lot of baggage, and I'd like to coin a new word for what I mean, but in the meantime, here's the definition:

The core belief that you have intrinsic, unique value, and that you deserve and are expected to love yourself unconditionally.

This is not about conceit.
This is not about narcissism.
This is not about superiority/inferiority.
And no, this is not about masturbation.
