Are Body Positivity and Self Love the same or different?

Question

I feel like this is such a gray area and I’m wondering what you ladies think??

Answer

Body positivity is just that- you feel positively about your body and you’re happy with it. Self love encompasses so much more than just the physical. Self love is loving who you are as a human being- your character, personality, morals, intelligence, etc. They exist somewhat parallel to each other but you can feel one and not the other

Answer

I feel like body positivity comes with self love. I've honestly never seen one without the other.

Answer

In my mind, self love is another word for masturbation. Self Care is what is probably meant. That's when you treat yourself with special care like good nutrition or a spa day. Body positivity is related to self esteem or self confidence or self worth. It's about knowing how awesome you look and not putting yourself down.
