Well, I think it depends on what kind of "love" you expect. It is certainly correlated to how you view yourself. If you view of yourself as a diamond, then you perhaps expect love with respect to your view of yourself as a diamond. If you view yourself as a pebble, then you perhaps expect love with respect to your view of yourself as a pebble. If the former is you, then you understand and respect your God-given worth, rightfully so. If the latter is you, then you understand your human imperfections, rightfully so.
The key, I think, is to realize we're both a diamond and a pebble.
But I'll tell you this, I know the latter very much so true to me and how I expect love from others is based mostly, although not solely, on this half of the amalgamation. How I view myself is mostly, although not solely, on the former half of the amalgamation. And so, when I receive love from others, I feel so undeserving and extremely thankful. And when I view myself, I know I'm worth more than a self-deprecating evaluation.
In harmony, love, from others and the way I love myself, nourishes my entirety to the point of sublime joy.
