Does anyone else wonder why they hate themselves so much?

I kinda wonder why my family hated me so much. I did figure out SOME stuff these past fewyears, but i had to get some distance from them in order to see it. You never - or rarely - talk about your family. That t of yours had to be trying to make up for something - some neglect? abuse? You seem to focus on her rather than the original traumas. Are you still in contact with your family of origin or your abusers, so you cant get the necessary distance to deal with the issues?

Anyway my point really was, we dont hate ourselves, we are just treating ourselves the way our family of origin did, which is they wanted to get rid of us.
Thanks for this!

Thanks for this!

A whole mental cluster**** of reasons. Some of it is family related, others, I think, are self-inflicted. I know I have a perfectionistic streak and an uncontrollable habit of comparing myself. Put these two together and yes, you get a lot of easily triggered self-hate.

I want to rip myself to pieces and it's because I hate myself so violently. But if someone asks me WHY, I can't answer.

I don't like admitting it but I hate myself, too. I hate myself with a passion, and like you I really have no idea why. I don't think that's my primary motivation for my SI but I'm sure it doesn't help either...

When you all were born, you were perfect. Somewhere along the way a person(s) told you lies about yourself (which had nothing to do with you, but everything to do with the person who was telling the lies). That person(s) disliked/hated themselves, and dumped it onto the innocent person. Try to find with little babysteps to put the anger and blame and shame on the abuser(s). THey own that....not you.

I also have some issues with self-hatred. And if I can't accept some things about myself, then I have trouble believing that other people (husband, family, friends) could accept them either. Which is one of my current topics in therapy and marriage counseling.

I sh but i don't hate myself, anytime a counsellor or whoever asks if i hate myself or is there anything i dislike about myself i say no, when they ask why I'm just like, i really don't care about myself that much or what others think of me, not the same as hate though i get that :/
