I understand your point of view but if you don't mind it too much, I think you are wrong on forcing an "=" between self-love and accomplishment.
I say this from my own experience and the experience of others, self love must be given without conditions. Because if you put conditions like...acomplishment right? It's really difficult to be perfectly objective
"i'll love myself when I'll be a doctor." I'm a doctor but..." I'll love myself when i'll help 1000 patients" I did that but...
It's what we call a "mving goalpost" and one can allow this kind of fallacy to be in the way of self love.

Confidence and self esteem should be highly connected with accomplishments, yes.

But even that. It's so weird.
I have this friend..he looks amazing, right? yet , he think he looks average or worse and couldn't talk with a girl if his hair was on fire and she had a bucket of water.
He is also very accomplished in his field, but his self-esteem is as low as anything.

It's very very hard to have the final say on this.

Entitlement thought is not self-love in my opinion. It's an expression of insecurity doubled by a lack of self-awareness.

We can talk forever about this...it's a fascinating topic.
But thanks for being opened. The more reasonable and intelligent voices we can bring here, the more we'll push the level of discourse.
I love that
