Mettā, Loving Kindness, is unconditional - every being deserves our Loving Kindness, without having to fulfill any 'conditions' beforehand whatsoever. And that applies equally to ourselves.

We deserve our own loving kindness, no matter what we did or didn't do, no matter what bad qualities we may still have, or what good qualities we may still lack. We fully qualify and unconditionally wish ourselves well, 'warts and all', according to the instructions of the Buddha, simply because we are a living being.
