How do I stop hating myself?

It’s easy to compare your weaknesses with everyone else’s strengths. Sure, you have flaws and have made mistakes… but so has everyone else, including the people you look up to and admire the most. It’s important to find a group of people who are supportive and appreciate you. This could be a support group, or an online community based on a shared interest. Once you make a habit of talking yourself down, it can be hard to stop. “I hate myself” can sometimes be an intrusive thought—something that just pops into your mind, with no real meaning behind it.

Hating yourself could be exhausting. Constantly being in the state of reprimanding yourself and pointing out your faults is tiresome. But look at anything you do from a different perspective. Say you hate yourself for X reason. If someone else did the same thing, how would you feel about them? Would you eventually forgive them? Would you think that everyone is bound the make mistakes? If the answer to those questions is yes, then think of yourself doing the same thing and telling yourself what you tell others. Tell yourself that you too are human and are bound to make mistakes. Or have qualities that you hate. You aren't perfect and perfection is non-existent. Yes, you can always strive to be better but you can only do so when you cut yourself some slack and start to realize that you are TRYING. Hating yourself would stop you from becoming better. And if becoming better is your goal / becoming that "ideal person" is your goal, you need to learn to love yourself. Sure, the whole process is contradictory and complicated. But by realizing that hating yourself only HURTS you and prevents you from becoming better could maybe make you stop hating yourself in the first place.

there is no reason for hating ourselves as we are the best creature in this world, mean it or not. But if in any case we feel like this then we need to recall ourselves the most consistent person to follow us in our sorrows and enjoying every single bit of our happiness, no matter what everybody say, is 'we'.

Look for everything good you do, then you will come to realise that you want to do more to help people... There is always a way to better yoursselve. Whether it is helping someone carry shopping to their car or volunteering for an organisation

If you won't stop liking yourself, nobody ever will. That's what life has shown me and it will show you too. By hating yourself you will end up being totally alone, without friends and lovers. Do you want it?

first you have to change the way you see yourself (in your mind's eye) and change the way you see others. improve your self-image. improve your self esteem: make decisions decisively based on your judgement (not what other people say/think/ approve ) , do not waste your time "sitting on the fence" - contemplating "what if this / what if that " - putting yourself down. actualize yourself engage in creative doing, express your true talent.

Try changing your way of thinking. For every negative thing you think about yourself, come up with at least one positive.

Instead of thinking about the bad focus on everyone and everything that makes you feel good :).

Start by being grateful of good things that you have got. Don't forget to stay positive, because a mind is a powerful tool that either can break you or build you

You realize how freaking awesome you are. That's all you have to do. We all feel like this, ya just gotta push through it.

You start by learning to love yourself, it's hard, but you just have to. You start by looking at your positive attributes, but you shouldn't neglect the negative ones, you improve on them. Once you're able to stop seeing yourself negatively, there you go, you not only stop hating yourself, you started loving yourself, because that should be the way :)

Keep on finding a hint of light in yourself. Cause you can't stop hating yourself if you don't. The first step is to love yourself first and free yourself from hatered.

You stop hating yourself by gaining confidence, and by trying to look at the positive aspects about yourself.

By looking at the beauty instead of focusing on the flaws. It is much easier to hate oneself until you find love for the self. Until you realize you don't need to be PERFECT to be perfect!

You have to learn that loving yourself and caring about yourself is the most important thing in life.

Set goals for yourself, Don't be so hard on yourself. Try to complete those goals.

You can stop hating yourself by loving yourself and by being confident in whatever you do. Think about the reasons why you hate yourself and try to reverse those.

You have to learn how to love others. It may seem counter-intuitive at first, but there are many things which we detest in others that are actually a reflection of your own personal biases. In learning to be compassionate toward those things you often unravel the things which are hindering in your own mindset.

Learn that you are loved by so many people and learn your importance. You mean so much to people. Start reflecting your love for others on yourself.

I truly do not know...I workout, I fix my hair and face. My mate tells me all the time, how beautiful I am. And, the things that make me hate myself, run over and over in my mind; making me hate myself all the more. So my idea is to get out and meet people who genuinely like me. I will get off to a slow start by not flashing cash or offering to pay.

The path of self hate isn't easy to destroy. Learning to love yourself isn't easy and it might take a long time, many years even but is well worth it. Telling yourself you love yourself, trying to find the little things you do like about yourself and focusing upon them above the negatives is the only real way. Exercise can help, good eating habits that strengthen your mind and doing things you are proud of, that give a sense of achievement help too.

I look back at memories, fond memories, that are happy-positive. I remember times I made someone laugh or smile. I look back on moments I spent having fun, connecting with others.

Contrary to popular belief, self love is a journey and not a destination. You don't just wake up one day, feeling okay with who you are. It is a process of small steps that enlighten you to the magnificent force of nature that you are. Sometimes it seems difficult and sometimes it seems downright impossible, but it is achievable and it is truly a wonderful feeling.

The first step to stop hating yourself is to acknowledge that you have flaws and can't always meet others or your own expectations. The second step is to understand those flaws, and work towards overcoming them and making yourself a better person

Think of yourself as someone else. You wouldn't hate on someone else, would you? Call yourself nice things.

Find the good things within yourself to focus on. If it as little as a goofy face you can make to being bilingual or good at math, focus on the positive. If someone else is making you hate yourself, don't focus on them. Remind yourself how important you are. Treat yourself.

Distract your thoughts from getting to you. Believe in yourself. Find something worth living. Learn to accept you for who you are.

By Loving Yourself. :')

Know your doing your best and that everyone needs love even yourself so just give yourself a chance to be loved by you

Everybody should love his self, you know who you are and there's a million beautiful things about you, if somebody tells you that you don't deserve love something is wrong with him not you.
