1. Self-compassion makes you tougher.

During the tough phases of life it is important to be kind to yourself and remember that you cannot have everything in life and you can't make everyone happy either. It is easier to get out of failure if you are compassionate to yourself.
2. Improves your relationships in general.

When you love yourself and are not dependent on outside sources or people to make you feel loved, that is when you become a more understanding person in general. It can help you to relate and bond with others better.
