Hi, Elysium!

I need to learn to like myself. If I liked myself, I could do better things for myself and actually begin to live. I just don't know how to like myself because I don't. So how does one MAKE themselves like themself?
Personal Take That May Not Be Applicable To Anyone Else: I have never learned to like myself. I have not found attempting to like myself a profitable investment of my psychic energies. Rather, I try to live without reference to either loving or hating myself. Apathy and chronic capriciousness help a lot in this endeavor. I attempt to mobilize what energies and focus I have in pursuing interests (disjointedly if at all) and daily activities (disjointedly). "Focus out."
