Do you love your self?

Thank you for the encouragement, but it is true that I see no positive attributes within myself 🙁

I suppose I'm intelligent, but I'm lacking in willpower and motivation. SA has completely exhausted me both mentally and physically. Hell, I struggle to get out of bed like a 70-year old man would! I have problems focusing on even the simplest tasks, for instance: reading your response above...

I just see little hope. I am my own worst enemy, and my enemy is conquering me. 🙁

I've seen so many things we have in common through your posts.

Love is just a word to me and I live floating in a sea of indifference.

That's a great quote.

Do you love yourself? I mean, are you happy with the person you are?

Sure I do! Oh you didn't mean "love myself" _that_ way 😀

Joking aside. I think as a whole probably not. There are bits I like, but certainly there are bits I don't like both in my personallity and my physical appearance. Sometimes I feel like the there are too many bits I don't like.

I know what you mean about being frustrated sometimes with one's own abilities and attributes.

Unfortunately at least for me when I am depressed I tend to focus too much on the bits I don't like.


BTW you look great on your avatar/pic. I don't think your post is a rant at all.

You see, I realized though that I've lived with myself for far too long not to at least like myself to some degree.

I try to find something to love about myself, but every time I look into the mirror I want to break it. I spend from 10 to 15 minutes sometimes, just staring at myself, trying to decode myself. I even ask myself questions like "What's wrong with you?" or "Why do you have to be so stupid, different, weird, and so on... People tell me things like I'm cute, have good taste in outfits, or that I'm very considerate of other people but I don't take anyone's word for it because it's either friends or family that always tell me those things and I figure that they're just trying to be nice or at least boost my self-esteem but honestly, they're just making it worse because every time someone says something good about me, I find more flaws in myself the next time I look in the mirror.

Ahh, I used to hate myself. But now, I love myself, even with social phobia. I owe my current thinking to my two "best friends" from last year. Even if we three don't see each other that much anymore, I will forever love them for what they did to my life. <3

I imagine dying in so many different ways everyday because I hate myself so much. I can't stop NOT hating myself

Me, me, me. Me, too.

No I don't love nor like myself. But i've come to realise that if everyone else hates or are indifferent to me, why add to that myself? I might as well start loving cause no one else will.

I wouldn't say I hate myself, but I definitely don't love myself either. Have things that I should feel both good and bad about.

I like some of my parts, but overall I hate myself 🙂

There’s always been a consent civil war raging within me between my emotions and my rational thoughts what I show to the world is a frightened bystander to this war which is incredibly frustrating and this frustration makes it impossible to love myself.

I find it hard to like myself. To be honest, I can name only a few things that I don't absolutely abhor.
