I don't know personally why, but lots of life experiences can lead to self hate; such as childhood trauma, gender dysphoria, abuse, neglect, feeling like your body doesn't fit in with the societal norm, or your sexuality doesn't. The important thing is for you to explore what makes you feel this way. It is not simple, but you are not alone, lots of people at some point in their life have felt like they hate themselves, and lots of people have learnt love. You are worthy of love, especially of self love.

Maybe that comes from years of self criticisms or absorbing the criticisms of others which then erodes your sense of self esteem. Maybe not practising great self care and awareness makes you more susceptible to self loathing too.

There could be many reasons for this, but I think the main issue would lie in your self esteem - how you perceive yourself to be, and finding fault with yourself. But take heart! Being hard on yourself is something A LOT of people struggle with. But you can practice taking steps to love yourself. Instead of focusing on the things that you do poorly or do not like about yourself, try focusing on those things which you DO like. Be gentle with yourself, and kind. Treat yourself like you would treat your best friend who is struggling with self-hatred. You may be surprised how many things there are about you to LOVE! ☺️💕

Some people hate themselves because they compare themselves to society or anything that a person deems better than them. But, in fact, we all have our flaws and things we're good at. Accept yourself as what you are and work on the part that you are not; but you must also set realistic goals for yourself.

Sometimes we hate our selves so much because of what other people say, and sometimes its what we say, either way undoubtedly nearly everyone has looked at a mirror and thought something negative. "Why am I so fat?" or "Why does my nose look this way?" These thoughts appear no matter if you were being self critical, or if someone else pushed you to hate this particular thing about yourself. Either way society has a standard for beauty that is completely unrealistic, you scroll through pictures of celebrities with perfect skin and you ask yourself; why do I not look like that - let me tell you those pictures are all photo shopped and what you see is something that no one will ever be able to achieve because perfection simply does not exist - you need to start with you because once you love yourself you won't let anybody tell you that you are not beautiful or smart or anything. You need to look at your flaws and realize that while to you these may be flaws, someone else who looks at you may look at these 'flaws' and find that that's what they love about you the most - the fact that you are not perfect but you're human. Keep going, don't let anyone else destroy you, your flaws aren't as big as they seem to you they're in fact what makes you so beautiful and unique. Instead of spending time hating yourself, spend time improving who you are.

You are beautiful and you are not worthless! I have had self confidence and no self confidence. I have told myself I hate myself and i just wanna be done. But what I always thought and what you need to think is people do you love you and people do care about you. You a amazing person.

Have you made mistakes in your life that you regret making if so that’s maybe why you dislike yourself

It's all too easy to be really hard on ourselves. It's kind of like being around someone so much that you find things about them that bother you, only you are with yourself all of the time without ceasing. Try to find a few things you enjoy about yourself and remind yourself of them daily!

You have no self respect for yourself. You think that other people are better than you which is nonsense.
