Why do I hate myself so much?

In my experience, hating oneself is the result of spending so much time engrossed with your own thoughts that you forget to spend time helping other people.

Hatred is something we feel at some points in our lives. Mostly we find someone else to blame and hate for something that happened. But there are cases where one gets stuck in the idea that they are the problem in everything and this is the point where self-hatred begins. There are several mental illnesses which make this feeling even stronger or hold back from seeing the good again. It's okay to be critical with oneself but it's not healthy to hate the most important person in one's life.

You may hate yourself if you are not confident in yourself or if you don't have a good support system. Remember we are all very important in life and we all have a purpose, you just have to find that purpose and sometimes that is not easy and takes a lot of soul searching!

People are usually more hard on themselfs then others so just relax and think about your positive traits and if you think that you have none than make yourself like you want yourself to be. You can make yourself whatever you want only if you work hard

I guess we start hating ourselves when we see more flaws than strengths in our character. You should look for the good in yourself. If you can’t do it yourself, ask someone to point them out for you. There’s always going to be a light in that darkness. Don’t lose hope, because there’s always going to be goodness somewhere in the world. If you believe that, then you’ll know you can’t be the only one with your situation in the world. In my case, this belief helped me see the good in myself and I hardly ever tell myself I’m hated these days.

Maybe because that's what people by your side who were meant to be supportive of you - told you or made you believe this about yourself?

You hate yourself so much possibly because you are not living up to your expecations and they may be too high for you. Also, it could be from negative self talk and poor self esteem.

To answer your question, I would recommend you to join a support chat room or message any of listeners from 7cups.

Maybe you don't quit understand yourself yet. Expand your figure of yourself, make yourelf what you want to be. You'll start seeing how much less there is to hate than to love.

Because you aren't where you wish to be in life yet
