How do I shift the love towards myself?

So for as long as I can remember, i’ve always been a romantic. But inspite of this, I don’t have a lot of experience in relationships.

I also have social anxiety, so dating feels really hard and daunting. But I don’t want that to be the case, I wanna experience the love of a lover.

That’s all I can think about, but how could I love another person, if I can’t even show that love towards myself?

How do I start showing myself that love? I wanna start feeling like I can be happy without a lover.
