God knows if this is the right place.
I really dislike myself. I can't begin to imagine why anyone would want to spend any time with me. I am naturally very opinionated but of late have become fearful of expressing my views, because what do I know? I am overweight at the moment - size 16 - but when I was a 12 I hated my body too. I am unfit too, but when I was running 3 times a week and doing yoga every day I hated myself too.
My partner is wonderful, openly loving and complimentary. I have no idea why he loves me. I see myself as completely neutral, boring, bland, porridge. People tell me I am very pretty but I can't see it. I look at myself in the mirror and it's not like I think I'm ugly. I just think - meh.
Basically, I hate myself. A lot. Outwardly, I appear to be very confident and I function. It's not like I'm crippled, huddled up in a ball. But it does affect me. I know my dp thinks I'm mad. How do you learn to love yourself?
