Don't mind me, just a self-hatred tidbit...

The only person I loathe, hate, despise, and find absolutely pathetic, inconvenient, time-wasting and unimaginably horrible and disgusting is me. I don't understand hatred towards other human beings, but I don't feel worthy of being loved or treated kindly. Don't think of this as a pity party, because I'm not depressed and rather optimistic, but as a perfectly good example of who not to be. Don't be me. You'll only hate yourself. The only other thing to be feared is my reflection because it's a spitting image of me.

Sometimes you just need to put it out there. I hate me, and it doesn't mean I'm depressed. I have everything going for me. I just hate me.

Dr. Skipper, who abused you as a child - was it your father or your mother? I don't mean beat you -- I mean verbally abused you? Obviously someone beat into your head that you were unworthy, were to be hated, were worthless, etc. Someone was a hateful person THEMSELVES!!! Someone decided that they were going to make YOU as hateful as themselves. Who was it?

Let me tell you that it was all a LIE. You are NOT all you described! I promise you that! You are a decent, kind, worthy, human being. How do I know? Because you came here for help. No, you didn't ask for help, but obviously that's why you came here.

You have been abused. People don't get like that by themselves. NO ONE IS BORN THAT WAY.

Please -- seek out counseling. Make an appointment with a therapist, and work on getting well. You CAN get well, you know. Millions have. Please make the call? And will you keep us posted on your progress? We DO care around here. God bless you and take care. Hugs, Lee

I've never been abused, I'm just a hateful person towards myself...

Sorry you feel this way ((Dr Skipper)). What in particular do you hate about yourself if you don't mind sharing?

I'm sorry (((hugs))) are u in therapy? It's been so great for me to figure out why I have these rolling feelings that I can't control. Maybe you would discover it beneficial for u as well...

sometimes i feel as you do, doc. here's something that helps me. to write down a list of what other people have said about me in a complimentary way. often their opinion can be more objective than myself. i had a hard time of it at first. like, who loves me? i said my dog. i couldn't think of anyone else at that time. i think our objectivity goes out the window when we feel this way. we tend to be harder on ourselves than what we expect of others. another way-whacky-is to look in the mirror each morning and say 'i love you....' well i thought that was ridiculous but i did as i was told. one morning i said it and grinned. i did love myself afterall!
but there are times when something happens i need to revert back to the list.

tidbits from the genius of the lovable "anti-self"

...seems to me you have arrived at the origin of human society pain and chaotic evolution.

some people hate themselves and they don't mind it....so they go and hate others

some people love how they hate themselves so they go and kill others

some people don't know anything!

some people love themselves and get hated by others that don't know anything and then the innocent die again especially

some people still know nothing but are waiting to love not hate...and

some people like themselves and feel good enough to see others that like themselves

...some people hate themselves and hate the way it makes them feel and cannot help but be gentle about it...

these people become people that are loved by the people that like themselves enough to trust they deserve the same love back....

so these people share it

stuff the idiots skipper......you are cool

yep....Skip...YYZ

I can relate to that Doc but I don't share your feelings. I think you're totally lovable. One of my favorite people here
I am curious about what brought this on though.

I feel the same way. Is it ok to say its nice to know I'm not alone? All I know is I'm
Hoping for you that you'll
Find your happiness within yourself. Learn to love yourself. I sure wish I could someday. Wish I could have better responses but all I can say us I'm
In the same boat and it's tough. We know we are worthy. But how do we get the love within ourselves?

sometimes i ask myself if i would be all right with someone else besides me telling me the things i think about myself...

would it be different, then?

I feel the same way as you do so i totally understand what you are going through. Whan people ask me what I think of myself, the only things that come to my mind are:
I am ugly, i am useless, i will never amount to anything, no one will ever love me, I can not do anything right, hopless, fat....and the list goes on. If someone were to ask me what I love about myself, my answer wuld be absoluetely nothing. I just hope that one day we can love ourselves and see what other people see rather than the bad things we see in ourselves. I am here for you!
