Through out our lives, things happen that does not rest in our immediate memories. But we act as a result of all that we remember and do not immediately remember. Wat ever feelings u have for yoursefl can be sourced from within. You may be able to get to the root of your hate through therapy, hypnosis, or some time alone with yourself (among other ways). Every entity that breaths deserves true love.

It's likely another underlying issue. With anxiety/depression/other mental illnesses it's easy to do things you wouldn't approve of or be meaner before you stabilize, and it (the disorder/s) also destroy self worth. It's a matter of the thoughts running through your head as they influence your mood more than you think.

I used to hate myself so much because I didn't conform to society's standards of beauty. Instead of embracing my differences I retreated inwards.

Because you are a stranger to yourself. Would you trust any stranger in your head?
Get to know yourself. Attach onto a hobby. Explore talents you have yet to discover. Know yourself before you can love :) just like every stranger in the world you now love. It takes time :)

My constant negative thoughts and me trying to be good for completing someone else's expectations is what leads me to hate myself. It is not the fact that I am not good enough for me. Its knowing that I am not good enough for someone else.

The only person that truly knows how amazing you are is yourself, and its the same with who loves you the most its you, if you bring yourself down everyone will see how weak you are xx

You shouldn't feel like that no one deserves to feel that way. Honestly people look at you and they see more than you think.

I dont think you hate yourself, I just think you like the idea of you hating yourself. But please dont hate yourself, you're a strong and kind person. you're beautiful on the inside and out. you may have flaws but thats what makes you different. Thats what makes you you. So dont hate yourself, love yourself because nobody else will.
