I hate myself. In terms of leaving all that is me behind for a higher purpose.

I love myself. In terms of being a valued soul in the eyes of God.

Join the the club.

No reason to be so hostile to yourself, though. Nothing but negative things come from negative thoughts. That's what I've always believed but don't practice.

And just below that in your signature:

"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent."

But it is OK, we all feel like that.

Aww man, just focus on the little things in life right now that make you happy. You know, even just your favorite TV show or movies. At least they will help bring you temporary happiness when you feel like you're in such a low place.

^Same here :p
But all of us have some positive qualities along with the negative ones. All you have to do is find them.

I used to hate myself. Not anymore, I found some sort of peace within my self. I more often feel that I am a failed experiment as a human. But that is feeling sorry for myself.

A lot of people do. Uh, hate themselves, I mean. I get these crazy thoughts of extreme self-mutilation and violence toward myself if I do the slightest thing wrong. I am my worst enemy. Best thing to do is to not think about yourself too much. Take your mind off yourself as much as possible and distract yourself with something else. I find that helps. At least in the short-term, anyway.

No more than I hate myself, I'm quite sure of that.

Either way I'm going to be a complete hypocrite and say that you shouldn't hate yourself. I obviously don't know you and definitely don't know your reasons for hating yourself but if you're like the rest of the people here on the forum who are actually really nice and accepting people who are only looking to receive the same treatment from the world then that should give you twice the reasons not to hate yourself.

Here's a good pick-me-up quote I heard the other day:

"Turn your face towards the sun and the shadows will fall behind you."

^ That reminds me, I'm making that my signature for here.

Anyway.. the only real piece of advice I can give to you is that if you want good things for yourself in life then you need to tell yourself that you deserve those good things and strive for them. The same goes for the negatives in life. If you only wish for bad things to happen to you then they more than likely will happen. When it comes to positive and negative energy, the laws of attraction are very true. Believe me, I can vouch for that after years of thinking negatively and only recently starting to instill some positivity into my thick head. You're the only one standing in your way. Remember that.

I hope this helped, even the slightest bit.

I used to say that.
It was until i realized that i have something positive in me as little as it could be that i started growing some self esteem and good things come from loving yourself. ;)

There was a book I got hold of that I found useful. It was entitled 'Changing Your Thinking'. It's taking time to work on. Provided you are not being overly heckled by family like I am I definitely think it can go a very long way to remedying those negative thoughts. Just a thought.

I'm just curious, who's the author?
