Hi I'm a new member 1st ever post.
I'm struggling to deal with self loathing, when I get rejected for jobs it really gets to me and start hating myself, I'm allergic to rejection which you think I'd be used to after being frigging useless at most things. But there's a strange comfort in sadness that sometimes I don't wanna come out of anyone else have this also?

Thanks for this!

Welcome to PC. Your not alone in feeling self loathing. I struggled to. Have you thought about looking for positive quotes to recite and watch Lisa A. Romano who talks about self loathing?
