A person can love someone else, without loving him/herself. It's just that that person won't easily accept their love because they won't think they are worthy of it. :-/

Sorry, I completely disagree. You can not truly love someone else if you do not love yourself first. You may think that you can, but you can not. It is a universal truth.

That's your opinion, not a universal truth. I've loved people without loving myself, so whatever you say is clearly wrong from my perspective.

That's fairly easy. You just think the other person is worth loving while you are not. The real question is: how can you let someone else love you, if you don't love yourself.

If you love someone, but not yourself, you know you are not a good person. You will keep yourself away from them until you fix yourself.

You can, but the relationship usually fails anyway since they won't accept love in return. It's not that you can't love people without loving yourself; it's that you can't readily share love like you can in a regular relationship.

You can't, some think they can, but they are wrong. Impossible.
