I am who I am !

Accept yourself, because whenever you want respect from others, it simply shows that you don't respect yourself.

Otherwise what is the need?

You hate and condemn yourself, so you go on creating masks to hide behind, to deceive others with. At least you can try to deceive others, even if you cannot deceive yourself.

But nobody is deceived, because those people are trying the same trick themselves. The whole world is in the same mess.

So the first thing is to respect yourself, and not to make any demands on yourself.

There is no should to life. Life is as it ought to be; it already is! You just have to accept and enjoy yourself, and give yourself in love. If respect comes through love it is beautiful. And it always comes through love because there is no other way!
