It doesn’t mean becoming self-obsessed.
It simply means recognizing that your relationship with yourself matters.
More than a celebrity headline
Kourtney Kardashian’s discussion of autosexuality may have been presented online as a shocking revelation, but the larger conversation is much more nuanced.
It also demonstrates how easily the internet can turn a thoughtful conversation into a definitive claim.
Whether Kourtney personally identifies with the concept is ultimately less important than understanding what the concept actually means.

You don’t always need someone else watching to feel good about yourself.
Sometimes the person whose approval matters most is the one looking back at you in the mirror.
