Have you ever hated yourself?

Have you had a feeling of being disgusted by yourself due to your previous behavior patterns or due to your personality?

Disgusted, no. Disappointed, yes. Usually when I'm being cowardly.

I don't know about hate but I do dislike myself. I fail to see any use/worth/reason for my existence - my personality, looks, brain, sense of humour, you name it, it's all wrong.
I've felt like that for a long long time.
I just never tell anyone that's how I feel.

I did some stuff in my 20s that was pretty nasty, mostly sexual stuff. None of my friends now would have any idea what I got up to, I'm so vanilla and clean cut now.

I'm still a bit grossed out by it.

Yes. when your body has been through several opertions.
But i have come to train myself to see my scars as a celebration because if i didnt go through all that shit i would not be here now. Its also hard to love ouselves in this day and age the way media portray how women need to look. But in the end we have to love ourselves or it will be very hard for people to be around us.

Oh Mrsalex. You are worthy of love, you are. I promise.

@Mrs. A try to look from the different angle, you'll find out many valuable and positive cons about yourself.

@ITHOUGHT media sometimes is useless...

I had this feeling during a today that I didn't raise the issue and didn't express myself clearly enough... And lost... And it kills me inside out...
At some point I even hated myself for being emotionally weak...

But what's gone it's gone...
