What's wrong with "self-cherishing"? We cherish others, so why not ourselves.

In my opinion, I think the problem comes when we depend on someone else to make us feel that we are worthy of being cherished.

Actually...that's more of an apt description of it than "self-cherishing" -- of the three things I listed (h, me and friends here) only the second one was "self generated". I felt like I was relying on stuff from both h and you guys here to feel good about myself..
