Another classic: "You must love/accept/work on yourself before you look for love."

Yeah, that's not how it works. Without support, you can only do so much before you feel burned out.

Edit: https://www.apa.org/news/press/releases/2019/09/relationships-self-esteem

The authors found that positive social relationships, social support and social acceptance help shape the development of self-esteem in people over time across ages 4 to 76. The authors also found a significant effect in the reverse direction. While earlier research had yielded inconsistent findings, the meta-analysis supports the classic and contemporary theories of the influence of self-esteem on social connections and the influence of social connections on self-esteem, according to Harris. The findings were the same after accounting for gender and ethnicity.
