"it's the hardest thing on earth to like yourself"

V.F.: Metamorphosis, transformation: that's what holds us, I think, in every story.
Mike: To become something better, to be less unhappy. But it's mostly a fantasy. It's the hardest thing on earth to like yourself, and then when you do, it's a catastrophe. I mean, the people I know who like themselves—I don't want to see them.
V.F.: They're insufferable.
Julia: Worse than insufferable. They're boring.

Perhaps what we can strive for is compassion -- for ourselves first, and then for all beings. It's a journey, from fear into love, and anything that we can do to bring more love into the world seems like a very good thing, yes?
I'm thinking that you, beautiful Katrina, should have had the moment in Vanity Fair.
I found this dialogue exchange...interesting.
I found it unfortunate--why should liking yourself be insufferable? No, I suspect what they mean is someone self-centred, who acts as though the sun shines out of their butt, and what is behind that is a fear of shit.
