((bluestate))

Several people have told me to give myself frequent compliments throughout the days/nights. They have said that it becomes easier & easier as time passes. I can't bring myself to do that, but that's the decision that I made. Perhaps you'd like to try it?

My self-hate is worse around people as well. I think that it's due to me making physical comparisons, assumptions, and envy. Realizing that I do that doesn't really help me either with my self-hate. Just wanted to tell you that I can really relate to you on this issue. Animals and nature (trees, streams, etc) are a wonderful relief to me!
