'Amor propio' is always positive. If referring to excessive self-focus, use 'egoísmo' or 'narcisismo'.
From Latin 'amor' (love) + 'propio' (own, proper). The phrase evolved in Spanish to describe the concept of valuing oneself, distinct from 'egoísmo' (selfishness).
Used in both personal and professional contexts to emphasize the importance of self-respect. Avoid confusing with 'egoísmo' (selfishness), which implies excessive concern for oneself at others' expense.
