Just Love Yourself, Dammit - If I Can Do It, So Can You

So of course I take part in social media like everyone else on the planet.  My personal favorite is Twitter, but of course I have Facebook and Tumblr accounts as well.
Since my breakup I've backed off from cruising my various timelines, mostly Facebook, for a couple of reasons.  One is I don't feel like seeing random people's happiness splayed all over the internet - unless it's a dear, dear friend or family member.
The other reason I've backed off is that I have become painfully aware all of these memes and quotes and blog posts, etc, that either pertain to my situation or make me think of him - they cross my line of sight, I read them, and it hurts.  It really, really hurts.  It takes all the willpower I've got to not forward them along to him.
One thing that is getting under my skin lately is all of the "I-may-be-difficult-but-I'm-worth-it" type quotes that are plastered everywhere.  Why?  Because it shouldn't have to be like that, and most of the time, it isn't.  I used to think that of myself, but then I learned it simply isn't true.  I am not a difficult person.  My friends and everyone else that I love, the ex included, are not difficult people.  But it doesn't make them worth my time any less.  Yes, I love them all in spite of their idiosyncrasies and whatnot, but those things do not make them "difficult" or "weird" or "crazy."  It disheartens me to think that we've become the "I-deserve-to-be-loved-even-though" generation.  It should not be that way.  We all deserved to be loved, plain and simple.
Maybe the mindset should be changed to "I-deserve-to-be-loved-BECAUSE-I-am-difficult."  Or better yet, "I-am-NOT-difficult-and-am-STILL-worth-it."
Another thought that saddens me is that the people who truly feel this way, who feel that they are not easy to get along with or have so many internal issues that it makes them hard to accept being loved, have obviously had someone in their past, or even present, that caused them to feel this way.  Why do we do this to each other?

It's heartbreaking to know people think this way.

What if we were to all walk around with healthy amounts of self esteem?  What if we all believed we are worth someone's time and someone's love?  Wouldn't things be a lot different?  I know that I wouldn't want to be with a person who felt so awful about themselves.  The best I could give them would be the love and support of a good friend.  

I have all the reason in the world to think I don't deserve to be loved.  I have all the reason in the world right now to believe that I am difficult, I am strange, I am neurotic and downright unlovable.  But you know what?  I don't believe those things.  Because I believe something that trumps all of those things - 

I am an amazing person.

I am beautiful, inside and out.

I am lovable.

I am downright fantastic and fuck you if you can't see that.
