Agreed, but the problem is that society seemed to accept "love yourself' as a principle. That's not at all a good thing.
Put like this: this is the mentality that is being disseminated to the population
It starts with a singer saying "I'm the boss. No rules apply. Hallelujah, better testify." It's a very aggressive kind of "Fuck you, I'm fat, I'm awesome, fuck you for even thinking you have the right to judge me. I love myself and that's all that ever matters."
The advice is supposed to stem from "don't just try to be someone else so that you fit in better", but it's horrifically morphed into "narcissism is empowering, everyone who disagrees should be mocked."
I always thought of it as "Be someone you like" as in: If you don't like aspects of yourself, try to change them to te better if you can. I'm rather sure that most of the 'love yourself' types don't really even like themselves.
