Do you sometimes hate yourself?

To hate yourself I think you first need to have at one point been happy with who you are. I don't hate myself because that would be exerting to much energy over something as trivial as my own existence.

I do most of the time. It's a bad way to think but that's how it is.

Yay for a depressing thread. ::(:

Yeah, there are times when I really hate myself. Depressing, I know, but that's how I feel sometimes. ::(:

I don't just HATE myself, but I dislike the fact that I'm not very assertive.

I feel my life would have much more meaning if I was.

This thread saddens me, so many good people, some even good friends of mine. I wish I could say something to change your minds.

I love you all <3

I used to hate myself very much and I still do occasionally...okay, quite often.
I still hate myself for a few things I've done and said in the past, things I think about and regret every day.
But, I'm getting better at understanding myself and feeling comfortable about who I am. All my life people have told me I'm a bit weird, even though its often said in a teasing manner. I cannot change that though, it's just who I am.
I wish I had more confidence in myself, I wish I didn't put myself down all the time, but I would much rather be this way, than love myself too much.

Exactly the way I feel.

Yeah, this gets me all the time, too. You think about something you did and all the regretful feelings rush back.

I wish I had more confidence in myself, I wish I didn't put myself down all the time, but I would much rather be this way, than love myself too much.
It's a fine line to tread but I generally agree.
 
Yes frequently. I don't have a day go by without feeling hatred towards my personality or behviour at some point throughout the day. I have tried CBT and self-help books, but if you don't believe what they tell you to think, then how is it going to make one bit of difference?:confused: It's like trying to tell yourself that your eyes are blue when they are in fact brown.

I shouldnt be posting because I dont hate myself, like coyote ^ says, Im sometimes disappointed in myself, but that is just something to learn from.
I dont see the point by hating yourself other than doing self harm and putting a lot disrespect to yourself.

My wishes to those who think like this about themselves. I wish sincerely you'll find peace with yourselves and the joy of being you. There is only one you and you should be proud and happy about it.

I wouldn't say "hate", because if I didn't like my attitude or myself as a person I'd make a greater effort to change. Disappointment is a much better word, like Coyote said. I'm capable of being a confident person, but it takes a lot to get to that point. On the other hand, it only takes a very minor thing to bring me down and leave me completely hopeless and defeated. That's been the biggest challenge for me, that being maintaining a positive attitude about myself and to stop dwelling.
