You see, all these specialists are saying: "If you love yourself, you would never suffer for someone else, because you are whole and do not need validation and reciprocation from others."
I believe it is the opposite. Tell me, when do we start to love ourselves? When we accept all our flaws and imperfections. It is exactly when we accept that and love ourselves the way we are build (of course we can always improve certain conditions like eating well, or having more discipline) but our main character... our foundation, we somehow, one day, we have to accept them and see ourselves as a whole person. It is when we can purely love others, even if they do not respond to us. I choose, to love someone, I choose, my decision, because despite all his flaws I see him as whole, admirable whole.
