Why do I hate myself so much?

How do you define "hate'? What other feelings do you feel about yourself around and under the hate, such as anger, shame, loneliness, fear, apathy, all of the above or others not mentioned? Acknowledge each feeling without judgment and examine it individually: why do you feel that specific feeling or thought about yourself? After examining each feeling surrounding this question you may have a better understanding. A better understanding of ourselves can help us unchain ourselves from unhealthy situations, behaviors, thought patterns. Good luck!

I think this question can only be answered by you yourself. I remember when I was in high school I was disappointed in myself and hated myself to the point where I scream at night. My solution, and it could be different for you, is to find out why. Ask yourself, Why? My problem was I felt like I was sabotaging my own future for being so lazy and ignorant. My solution was to build up upon that and I couldn't have been happier. You should try to look at the different aspect of your life that could have lead you to "hate" yourself. At the end of day, you are alway there for yourself. I hope you can figure it out and fix it.

People tend to lean towards new and interesting things that they've never seen before. I personally think that that's why people tend to be so hard on themselves. We are constantly seeing ourselves in pictures, mirrors, etc., CONSTANTLY hearing our own voice, constantly being surrounded with... well, us. If you were forced to be with another person for your entire life, never leaving their side... it's most likely that you'll get sick of them pretty sick. We've been stuck with ourselves since we were born. Of course, it's different for everyone. Some people hate themselves for physical appearance, or their personalities, laughs, etc. We're way too hard on ourselves for the most part.

I believe it's because we didn't learn to love ourselves. Yet. Once we learn that, the hatred will be gone. It takes much work, but it's worth it. We hate ourselves because we concentrate on all the bad things we've done and all the negative experiences we've been through. And we remember all the ways we acted that were wrong, and can't forgive. But to forgive is the first step to learning how to love yourself. You can't change the past, but you can make a better future.

This is something that you need to answer for yourself, Sometimes people may be self-critical of their personality, achievements, or looks. Others may just be dissatisfied with their lives and are constantly comparing themselves to others. Figure this out and then practice some compassion. In other words, be easy on yourself. No, nothing can be perfect but that's the beauty of things :)

There are many reasons why you could hate yourself. Ranging from body image to varying mental illnesses. If you feel you hate yourself, please tell a trusted friend or adult and work on ways to improve your self image.

For me it's a plethora of reasons why I feel like I hate myself during a particular time. Even little things lead me to these thoughts like embarrassing myself when ordering coffee or even knocking over a stack of Tupperware. I think maybe we set strict rules for ourselves (be this way or be that way) that are almost designed for us to fail. Sometimes I think my brain has this thesis statement--I'm the worst--and no matter what I do my brain uses each experience to prove this statement.

It is very sad to hear that you feel this way. Hating yourself could be a consequence of comparing yourself to other people, however you are not aware that the people that you compare yourself to have also got flaws. We all have our imperfections, which is perfectly normal and makes us unique. You need to embrace yourself and if you have to compare yourself, then only compare yourself today to yourself yesterday.

Sometimes we put too much preasure on ourselves. This makes us to only see our defects instead of our positive aspects. Try writing a list of positive things about you

You could hate yourself due to the fact you let small things get to you, or that you have no given yourself the amount of credit you need to keep your head up.
