I Hate Myself

[ReigningChaos]

I pretty much hate everything about myself.

I'm not smart, I'm not pretty.

I hate everything I say and do. Often I'll have conversations with people and I'll be left thinking "why did I say that?"

I haven't done anything to be proud of. I look at my parents and wonder just how disappointed they must be not to have a more normal daughter.

I'm struggling to put it into words. I just don't like me.

** I had posted this previously in General Health, thinking I was posting here. Can't even get that right.

I bet you are lovely, please don't put yourself down so much. I bet your parents are proud. Not everyone is amazing or has massive achievements. I say some really stupid things, and do some stupid things. I don't have any major achievements or anything I am proud of. Sending hugs and flowers.

Have you always felt this way or is this a new feeling? I'm sorry you are thinking this about yourself
I really relate with what you're feeling. I started feeling the same way about 3 or 4 years ago and feel like I can't get back to being the old me. The me that doesn't have the constant running commentary in my head about how crap/thick/stupid I am.
Would you consider going to speak to someone about it?

You just made a good post that expressed your feelings very well, so you're not that daft.

Not liking yourself isn't unusual, but you can't stop others from liking you!

What do you think is so dislikeable about yourself? you made a good post and came across as quite capable.

oh and smart IS pretty and you don't sound too dumb to me.

Is there anybody you can talk to that won't get all preachy, just someone you can have a moan with? just tell them you're totally fed up?

If you're reading this anytime, just call a friend, talk with them, or send them a text. Will you try that?

"I hate myself"

You tell yourself this in your head regularly.

Yet who is "I" and who is "myself" ?

Mulling over this question changed my life. It might change yours if you're sick of feeling like this.
