And you should not come in to a creative forum thinking that people will mock you for your statements, global( It shows there imaturity) As creatives we all go through these emotions thats what makes us what we are.

So what you are saying is that you can only claim to love yourself and your work if you are passionate about it? The only way to love is extremity in a sense? Hmmm

i do not think you need to love yourself, or even others in order to create.In fact maybe the opposite is true.self destruction and depression have strong links with creation, it can sometimes also create more interesting work.
