Is being friends with yourself the key to fulfillment?

[L]

People get so worried about what others think, but if you're satisfied with yourself then its a great feeling... just something i've noticed... share your thoughts...

YES. NOTHING else in this world can be a good friend for me than MYSELF...,I LOVE MYSELF.. You are right, continue..don't stop for anyone or else you would destruct yourself...!!

I think it depends on the person.

It is possible to love yourself and be satisfied with yourself, yet still seek love and friendship from and with other people because that's just what human's do. We love and want be loved, share our feeling and want others to share what they feel with us, we'e social creatures, hence the popularity of Facebook, Twitter and other social networks.

I still said it depends on the person though, because there are individual differences, people who need social contact more than others and maybe even people who don't need it at all and are happy in their loneliness. I just think that these people are the minority.

Now, I do believe that people who are friends with themselves are more likely to feel fulfilled in any case, but I don't think most people can be entirely fulfilled just by being friends with themselves and nobody else, without ever caring at all about what anyone thinks of them.

people who go round loving themselves come across as arrogant and narcissistic. the key is to have healthy self esteem and confidence. you can't let other peoples opinions of you destroy you. a lot of people are judgemental without really knowing enough to judge. if you are more confident in who you are and what you stand for you won't be so easily upset by other peoples opinions.

Yes, No one will care and love yourself except your own self. I don't even care what other think and not worried about them. I don't live for them, I live for myself.
