We don't hate ourselves anymore, n like, I love my headmates n they love me n each other but noone'a us particularly likes themself nor do I think we ever have. - Merielle

 

[SilentVelvet]

I love myself enough not to let myself suffer for decades until I eventually die of old age

 

[Azra]

At this point of my existence. I hate myself and every aspect of my life.

 

[thelostautistic]

I wish I could. I hate who I am.

 

[andysoongone]

Nope , Not a Single Bit Of Me . I hate Everything about me , I hate my Body , I cant Look in the mirror without Hating myself . I Never Take photos of me because I hate How I Look . I want to Leave This Body Finally

 

[wannabeangel]

its weird, idk if i love myself, i dont love my body or brain or disabilities. i only love how i can at least make a few people happy, and i love myself enough to wanna end my suffering because i dont deserve any of this, i dont deserve how i was born or what i was put through that made myself into something i had to hate

 

[lastappleonearth]

I don't hate myself, but I also don't love myself

 

[rainatthebusstop]

I hate the actual person I am and I live in resentment of the person I could have been.

 

[BoredomSeeker]

love some parts of me, absolutely hate other parts of me. Tis a balance, a somewhat wonky one, but a balance

 

[Gild-Holm-’Ur]

I mostly like myself. I know my flaws, e.g. I avoid conflict like it was the plague. But in total, I do like myself.

 

[mmoebread]

i hate myself so deeply. i know my self hatred and insecurity seeps into my relationships and ruin them which just makes me hate myself even more, but it also feels so disgusting to think of myself less than absolute shit bc of my self hatred. it's like a vicious cycle i cant get out of

 

[WirelessConnections]

I think I've hated myself ever since I was a kid. I've always spent lots of time maladaptive daydreaming about being this super cool or talented person, but when I actually try to picture myself doing anything from the perspective of someone else I feel viscerally disgusted by myself.

 

[lifesnotfair]

I don't hate myself, I just hate how neurodivergence has messed up so many lives, including mine.

 

[GodzillasBiggestFan]

i dislike myself. but i dont think im the worst either. i dont think hate, just dislike.

 

[SadB0iHour]

C-PTSD has my memory completely fucked so all I have are bad memories of times where I fucked up or bad things happened to me. logically, I know I'm not as bad as it think I am, but I have zero love for myself because the data I have avaliable all points to me being an irredeemable piece of shit.

 

[iw2begone]

I love myself, and want the best for myself. I know I have tried my best, it's this world and its arbitrary rules that has let me down. I deserve better.

 

[DeadManLiving]

Not in a self-laudatory or obsessive way, but yes. Or better put, I don't hate myself.

 

[Leonard_Bangley39]

i don't think i ever loved myself, and i don't think i ever will.

 

[HFK40000]

I used to love myself then I realized that I am the cause of most of my problems. There is no one I hate more than myself.

 

[Lost_Dawns]

i am extremely ugly and disgusting but i do think i am more moral than most others. i do not think i am a bad person but society was not made for me.

 

[plskilme]

When I was younger and more innocent? Yes! In recent years? Fuck no

 

[micheal7271]

Hahahahaha absolutely not. I don't have anything worth loving. I am a loser, I got no grit, discipline, or any kind of good character, I don't have any important achievement, I am suicidal 24/7 yet I don't have the courage to commit it, I cannot form a proper relationship, I got no one that truly love me. Also I am ugly AF like really ugly. I wish I am dead by aneurysm or heart attack.

 

[never mind me]

I wouldn't go as far as to say that I love myself, but I am mostly ok with being the person I am. Most of the time I don't think too much about it.

 

[StupidGirl001]

Im 100% rotten. I absolutely detest myself and how I am.

 

[fluorescentpearl]

I harbor no love towards myself or anything about me, and yet I enjoy indulging in things that remind me of myself, more so in a way of remembering what I am and who I am rather than as an act of self love
I've never been able to love myself ever since I was a child, I think its fundamentally impossible
I can enjoy my existence, I can be okay with myself, but Love? Love is something deeper, akin to a passionate comfort and wish for the other person.. And I don't have that for myself
Which is okay, I can be loved by someone else and pour all my love into them in return, I don't expect to ever be fixed and like myself, but being loved eases the burden

 

[telekon]

no. I am obtrusive, desperate, and completely dispossessed but I don't hate myself.

tbf I don't hate a lot of people. I can watch videos about people who commit heinous atrocities and I don't hate them or even think ill of them. the only people I hate are bullies and my own parents.

 

[bloodonmyhands4ever]

When I see other fat women on social media, I'm always like "oh my god, they are just beautiful, pretty, etc." & other individuals alike. But when I look at myself..not so much. Wish I could though!! I've always had low self esteem sadly.

 

[Macedonian1987]

no, my mother made me hate myself

Your mother is the one who deserves to be hated, not you. I read many of your replies here on this forum and you seem like a really nice person. You shouldn't hate yourself.

My parents wanted desperately to make me hate myself too, but they failed. I have Asperger's and people with this condition overanalyze and overthink everything.
After analyzing my own life I came to a conclusion that I shouldn't hate myself because I'm not a bad person. It took me some time, but now I don't hate myself not a single bit.

What I don't love (hate) are my awful life circumstances.
