I'm curious what you think you are not a good person. Our thoughts influence our feelings a lot. So if you think that about yourself then to learn to like yourself is an uphill battle. But it is possible.

I like myself more now than I once did. I still have my self-hating moments, but I recognize that is the depression and the negative thinking that goes with it. Do you have a support system? People in your life who see good in you? A therapist? I am not able to make the journey alone, I need people in my life both professionally (therapist) and personally to help me begin to see some good in myself. I had to go through and accept a lot of things about myself that I didn't like, and change those that I could. I don't see a t at this point, but did for many years and know it is always there if I need it again. Anyhow, not sure if this helps or even makes sense.

Thanks for posting and I hope to keep hearing from you.
