Why do I hate myself so much?

Various traumatic experiences can cause self hatred, like abuse, neglect, dealing with a narcissistic parent. When we have not learned to love and accept ourselves as we are in childhood but were excessively criticized in a non constructive and negative way we might come to the conclusion that we are not good enough. People might start comparing themselves to others in a biased way, seeing only the good qualities in others and only the bad one in themselves. This can result in hating yourself for not being likeable, for being bad in worst case scenario. Sadly this cognitive distortion, or thinking error, can stick to a person's mind for the rest of their life if not corrected.

there could be many reasons, guilt,insecurities,dark past,things that you consume(mentally,emotionally), comparison and all ! we often forget what we are and how we are in the chaos of social media and our own past mistakes. so :be yourself: accept yourself first, no matter how you are , iam not blaming social media but these days people are always anxious and suffering from low self esteem issues because they see positive, rich,perfect people all the time and hate themselves, so best way is know yourself then dig in to the own identity , know your passion ,,, keep working on yourself one day you will get what you want and hate will change in to love

The answers as to why people hate themselves can be many, and none can be satisfying. Actually, people try to avoid asking themselves a much simpler question but whose answers would lead to undertaking paths that require a lot of personal effort, no help from even the closest friends but the only certainty that sooner or later the change will happen and people will begin to love themselves like they never have before. Therefore, instead of asking yourself "why do I hate myself" try asking "How can I start loving myself, approving myself as I am and letting all the past go?"

The insecurities and hatred many of us often feel towards ourselve is usually a reflection of the opinions of others- the things we hate about ourselves are usually the same things we have received hate on from others. Between this and the societal pressures to strive for perfection and loose our unique qualities, we can begin to resent ourselves for the things that make us stand outside of the "norm". Personally, I have struggled with self confidence issues and insecurities as a result of bullying. Hating ourselves isn't actually "hating ourselves"- it's us reminding ourselves of the hate we receive from others. Remember, you are perfect in your unique way! The things that make you stand out are what make you beautiful/handsome! You are an incredible person, no matter who you are, for each of us has something special to bring to the world, and shine our individual light in a dark world! :) The next time you feel insecure, or hate yourself, remind yourself that you cannot be compared to others, nor can you truly use the opinions of others to define who you are. ❤️

This is a super complicated question. Sometimes it's because other people have consistently mistreated us and made us question our worth, sometimes it's the inevitable comparisons we make to people who we deem as having a better life, sometimes it's straight up mental illness. Majority of the time, it's a combination of all three. We are our own worst critics. Everyone's situation is different, but low self-esteem is a universal experience. Figuring out why you feel the way you do and where it came from can often be the very first step to heal this hurt that you're experiencing.

sometimes we get down on ourselves for the smallest or biggest of things. it's normal to feel frustrated or upset with yourself from time to time! however, it's also important to learn how to identify and work through these feelings. has anything been upsetting you recently? have you done anything that has made you anxious, depressed, or angry? sometimes these things can accumulate and result in us hating ourselves. it sounds like you have self awareness, and that will be a great help in finding the root of this. try to evaluate your emotions and work through what has been causing them, and why these events have caused particular emotions. sending love to you

Unfortunately, I'm not able to tell you why you hate yourself. However, I'm sensing that you're distressed, and displeased with something about yourself. I've been in a similar situation before, and something that helped me was to recognize that I'm human and we all make mistakes. Fortunately, this is natural and no one can claim to be completely perfect. I'm sure you have many admirable qualities, but your feelings are completely valid. Sometimes the struggles of life make it very hard to see yourself in a positive light. Would you like to tell me what you're displeased about or what's bothering you?

Honestly, it could be because you have an all-or-nothing mindset. Or because you are so focused on making others feel good about themselves that you are degrading yourself. I’ve been there before. When you degrade yourself to make others feel good, you start focusing more on your negative weaknesses than your strengths. The longer we think this way, the harder it is to get out of. Again, this is only from my experience, you are the expert of you, so I can’t tell you why you hate yourself. Anyways, please get help while you can and have a good day.

Because society has conditioned us to! Beauty companies literally thrive by creating beauty standards which most of the population doesn't have, then creating products so other people can feel better about themselves. There is a lot of toxicity floating around, to the point where toxic PRODUCTIVITY is now being praised. I know just how much the feeling of constantly feeling inadequate sucks and self hatred is so so hard to get over. But remember that you are the main character of your own life and that you deserve to be kind to yourself. Treat yourself with the same kindness that you treat others

A lot of people tend to compare themselves to others or to standards society has set, and when they feel like they don't meet these expectations, it can lower their self-esteem and confidence and allow negative intrusive thoughts that put the blame on themselves to seep in. I always find myself at my lowest points when I feel like I'm not doing as much schoolwork as I should or when I'm late on hitting milestones. I was always hard on myself for getting my license at 20 when most people I knew got theirs at 16. Then I began to realize that life shouldn't be seen as a competition, and that prioritizing myself and my health actually helped me more than pushing myself way past my limits.
