Become self aware about your surroundings and yourself, stop prioritizing other's opinions about you cuz you are who you are. Don't live for others but try to do what you like and don't fear judgement. If you want to do smth go and do it and pick any hobby u like and master it. As of what i was advised by adults :

accept yourself as you are. learn to be okay with all parts of you. even the parts of you that you don’t like. learn to be okay with all of those parts about you. whether it be physically or mentally. everyone has a different way of loving themselves. there is no one size fits all method to loving yourself and it looks different for everyone!

but at the end of the day if you go to bed satisfied with who you are, satisfied with the uncomfortable feelings that come with existing and how every moment throughout your life has shaped who you are at this moment it is a truly wonderful experience.

some ways that are great to being able to love yourself completely are to live more selfishly. be okay with the fact that once you start loving yourself a lot of insecure people will not like you because of it. despite that, prioritize yourself. praise yourself. respect yourself.
this can look like saying no to a request that makes you uncomfortable. starting daily habits.
or even starting a diet, not to because you want to be more skinny/attractive/strong appearing to others, but because you want to do it for yourself. because you care about your health.
etc etc.. basically self care. baby steps!

loving yourself is the key to fulfilling, strong and successful relationships. romantic or platonic.
you cannot love someone fully and properly if you don’t have any love for yourself.
remember that kindness starts with being kind to yourself BEFORE being kind to others.

i’d recommend reading self help books or genres that dive deeper into the topic of self love. you can really learn a lot from them and start applying that knowledge to your daily life. (i don’t have any good book recommendations—sorry)

anyways
i hope that my rambling helps and that you find to share the significant amount of love you have for others for yourself too. have a great day/evening/night.
