All right. There's this thing call Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. Basically, this guy Abraham Maslow became famous for his theory that certain needs need to be met before you can even have other kinds of needs. It looks like this:
Once your basic physiological needs are fulfilled, you move up to the next set of needs, security, and continue that way, but the important thing is that, according to Maslow, until your physiological needs are satisfied, you can't even worry about security or social needs, let alone self-actualization. According to Maslow, you are stuck on the third level of the pyramid. You don't feel loved and respected, therefore you can't reach for the fourth level, which is loving and respecting yourself.
