I find myslef wanting to ask people this question. From work colleagues to closer friends. Do you?

I hate my appearance, but I think a lot of the other things I hate are more to do with, well, life.

life certainly didn't turn out the way I expected (when I was 9 I hardly thought I was going to be a woman with no qualifications) and I guess I can't blame myself for all my diagnoses (though it is tempting at times)

I just hate what I've become, and the little I have to show for it

To the thread title: No.

To the thread body: Yes, because I want to understand people, but I wouldn't ever ask that quite so directly, not unless I was looking for a fight.

Yes. Would never ask someone that though, unless I knew them well enough and it felt appropriate to the situation.

I wouldn't ask my workmates but I asked two people so far in real life and one said sometimes the other straight yes!
I admire both of them so its difficult to hear that

No, I don't hate myself.

I struggle to love myself though. I abandon myself regularly, so I'm hardly my biggest fan either.

Yes, I do and have to work very hard to not to.

I don't believe I was born hating myself.

I don't think any of us are.

Mine stems from the hatred my parents and siblings exhibited towards me through their long-term horrid and criminal abuses of me.

It's a shame that those who were supposed to love, nurture and instill a sense of value in us can do the exact opposite and leave us fighting an uphill battle for the rest of our lives.

But, keep fighting it I will ... Otherwise they win!

I’m working on not hating myself...

I’m working on not hating myself due to the hateful crap and abuse from some who were supposed to be “family”

[divine1966]

No to both questions. Don’t hate myself and don’t want to ask anyone this question.

I often say that to myself, but I am putting effort into self-care. As for asking other people, I don't feel comfortable asking them that. If I were working, I would never ask colleagues and hesitant even to ask loved ones. I'd be worried about their reaction to the question.

I hate myself sometimes. I hate that I didn't take action sooner. I hate that 12 year old me would be very disappointed in where I am in life right now. Mostly I just hate this rut I'm in and I'm trying so hard to get out of it.

I wouldn't ask that of my work friends. I might ask a friend though. One that might understand mental health issues and just how much life can suck.

No, I don't hate myself. I just struggle to accept some parts of myself sometimes.
