Why do I hate myself so much?

We are our own harshest critics. It's cheesy, but it's true. I don't think anyone truly HATES themselves, I think that we all have or still do hate some things that we do, or some things about our bodies, but as a whole I don't think anyone can really HATE all of themselves. Some reasons for this might be that people comment on something that you do and it makes you self conscious so you hate it and you want to change it or you don't feel comfortable in your own skin. Finding yourself is a hard thing to do, once you do, though, it is much easier to love yourself. Try finding something about you to embrace and love, that will spread. Be optimistic :)

I hate that I have so many insecurities and that I cannot let go of them they are affecting my life, even my productivity. I also hate that I am unattractive and ugly that no guy would want to date me or be with me.... I wish I can remove this hatred. I wish I can be more loving and forgiving. I wish I can be more compassionate and wise in life. I love people but sometimes it is hard to love myself. I always give other people the power to affect my emotions and thoughts. Sometimes, I allow them to affect my behaviors and self-esteem as well.

These things likely to occur when you and others set high expectations from yourself and you are not able to achieve your goals according to your expectations. Maybe you can lower your expectations a bit and make it reasonable. You can also improve how and what you think of yourself by achieving smaller goals, appreciating yourself for it and then going to more advanced level. Loving yourself is not an easy task surely, but it is not impossible. Putting right amount of efforts on right things is really very important. You can even write down a few good qualities about yourself and look at them daily once you wake up and before you fall asleep.

I went through many years in a toxic cycle of self hate. When I examined where that hate was coming from, I realized it wasn't hate, it was shame, manifesting as hate. In between comparing myself to others, not letting go of the past and being in a cycle of blame, the hate grew stronger. I think to begin to know why you hate yourself, you need to look at the why that would be specific to you. Are you depressed? Well a common factor in depression is negative thinking, if the depression is causing you to think negatively all the time, pointing out your flaws, mistakes and all, you will eventually hate yourself. Remember though it may feel like you hate yourself, but in actual fact, it might be you hate what is happening around you and how that makes you feel. I think first and foremost, try and have some compassion for yourself.

You have not yet realized all the amazing things about you yet. It could be that others around you have made you feel worthless in comparison to them--that is not true and if that is an issue for you, take some time off of social media and learn to focus on good aspects of yourself. Take time to exercise, daily if possible, as it releases some feel good hormones throughout your body. Do not do this just to achieve a sort of physic, but so that you can feel balanced. Eat healthily, plenty of fruits and veggies, as some foods can hormonally influence our emotions. Write down as many good things as you can about yourself... Google self love quotes that promote your self esteem. Look in the mirror and tell yourself (out loud) amazing things about yourself (some of which you may have written down). You are an amazing person and there is no one like you. Don't let negative thoughts determine who you are and how much you are worth. 💖🤗

I’m sorry you feel that way. Think of things that you love about yourself. Say daily affirmations. You must learn to love yourself or you will never be happy. Pick out 1 thing a day you love about yourself!! Or make it up!! Fake it till you make it baby but you are so worth it and so loved. I promise. People care about you. Your family, your friends, the barista at the coffee shop!!! You matter. There is so much to love in this world and YOU are part of it. Have an amazing day/night. I’m proud of you.

It can be difficult to give yourself the leniency needed to accept yourself. This is something I struggle with day to day. However, in order to start feeling better about myself, I forced myself to list 2 good things about myself for every 3 bad things I listed about myself. If I couldn't come up with any more good things, I had to stop listing bad things until I could come up with more. It's difficult to not feel overwhelmed when you hate yourself but there are people who love you and they must love you for a reason right?

You probably hate yourself because you never knew who you actually are. Maybe you always compared yourself to others or have a low self esteem, maybe you never gave yourself a chance or maybe self-love was never a thing for you. Sometimes the reason could also the society or your surrounding which never made you find your self worth because of which you tend to focus on the negative feelings and not the positive side. There could be many reasons why you hate yourself but you probably never found that one reason which would make you make you love yourself

You have expectations from yourself , that you think you are not going to meet . Or maybe you think its impossible for you . . Maybe you always compare others with you and you find them much better than you . That is the time when you feel disappointed and you start hating yourself . . Make yourself your own top priority first , and stop comparing others with you. Everyone is unique here . Dont expect too much from yourselves. Set small goals , try to fulfill it. That way you will gain confidence and you will start loving yourself. :)

The reason why people usually hate themselves mostly likely has to do with a mistake they made or maybe someone they cared about left them and now they think that’s it their fault. It doesn’t matter which one it is. I hope you know that it’s never worth it. We’re humans and we make mistakes. That’s why we have to forgive ourselves. You are the only person that you’re really going to have to live with for the rest of your life so why not take the time to fall in love with yourself instead of hating yourself? I’m sure you’re an amazing human being going through a though time. Have patience and you’ll get there. I believe in you :)
