It's hard to explain why we are so hard on ourselves. Maybe it's because we're automatically more critical of ourselves than we are of others. Maybe we are so used to seeing the bad that we forget to look for the good. Maybe it's because we are blind to our true beauty I think of myself like a cake. Sure, some icky stuff goes into making a cake, like baking soda and eggs and stuff like that, but the cake wouldn't be complete without them. The same is true for my flaws. Sure, my teeth are crooked, and I get too emotional. But they are all important aspects of me, and of who I am. Try to see yourself as more than your flaws, and recognize that they complete you

Often, your self hate comes from a lack of self confidence, which is usually due to the people around you. If the people around you aren't nice to you and don't treat you well, you're bound to lose your self confidence and as a result, begin to hate yourself. My main point would often be, there is nothing wrong with you as a person, it's the people you have surrounded yourself by / have been forced to be around that are causing these negative thoughts about yourself. Other people have a large effect on us despite us believing they don't. Try to find other friends, people that treat you as you deserve; everyone deserves someone and that someone is always out there for you, you just need to go and find them.

There was a time in my life when I hated myself a lot. To my surprise, it had nothing to do with myself or anything but with the fact that I was rejected, made to feel unwanted, criticized by people around me. I hated myself because I was not being loved by people I expected love from. My hate for myself grew every time my love was rejected by the person I loved the most. I started to compare myself with others even though I knew that I was one of the best of people anyone could ever have as a life partner. Although I could see the reality, I was denying it. I kept finding faults in me because of that person and their rejection. My self-esteem gradually decreased every single day. All this happened with me because I was seeking their validation. I was seeking love from a place where I got nothing but humiliation. Finally, I decided to stop expecting from people around me. I stopped caring about people and their criticism. Now, I love myself more than anyone. We start to hate ourselves when there is lack of love and affection in our lives. We hate ourselves because of how people behave with us. When people don't love us, especially those who are supposed to do so, we start hating ourselves. I highly believe that this is a vicious cycle and it can be only broken when we stop expecting people to love us and starting loving ourselves no matter what the circumstances are. When you can't love yourself, how can you expect people to love you? If we really want to be loved by others we need to learn to love our ownselves. Otherwise, we will forever be stuck in this loophole.

Only you can answer this question. It's a shame to hear that you hate yourself though. I hope your view of yourself changes to a positive one eventually though. I wish you well.

There is no way for someone to answer this other than yourself, What is it you hate? Once you've decided on this then you can begin on working on it. Work on loving yourself. It isn't going to be an easy journey but you'll get there in the end.

Maybe because you're focus on your negative thoughts and don't let the possitive ones flow. You shouldn't hate yourself because you're worthy.

We see our selves differently from everyone else and we concentrate on all the thing we hate about our selves rather than what we love
