Philautia

Another underestimated love - philautia, self-love. Not in a narcissistic way. It's more of self-care and self-patience. It's the acceptance and respect of yourself. It's being in hormony with who you are and happiness that comes from within. And, let's be honest, sometimes we all could use some more of it...

This one goes to the War Doctor. The Doctor really had a hard time accepting that version of himself. He pretended that everything War has done was not actually him. In the Day of the Doctor we see both 10 and 11 finally admitting that War was the Doctor on the day when it was impossible to get it right. In some twisted timey-wimey way, because he does it split into 3 people standing side by side, the Doctor accepts and respects himself, even if he changes or makes mistakes.

Philautia - Self Love

Personification of the greek types of love

I still don't know how to love myself

if you were easy to kill, i would've done it already
