I want to say that the person himself/herself should be the first supporter of himself/herself. I came up with two different ways of saying that, and I want to know if they are all correct, and which one presents the best version.

1. You are your self first supporter.




2. You are the first supporter for yourself.

I prefer the first one as it sounds idiomatic, but I don't want the "your self" part to get confused with "yourself" when spoken loudly. So is there another word I can substitute "self" with?

Statements like this typically use your own X:

5. You are your own first supporter.

This:

1. You are your self first supporter

sounds awkward. Self is not used as a modifier very often except as part of fixed phrases like self service.

3. "You are your own biggest fan."

This would be an informal way of saying this. However, it tends to make the person sound like an egomaniac.
