Depression and wanting others not to like me

25% Normal
17 Comments

I’ve had depression since 2009, truly I see myself as having little worth. This has affected me socially, I hate myself and I truly want others to hate me. I’m generally sickened when somebody actually likes me or cares about me.

    Why not seek some help? Some medication and/or therapy go a long way.

      Nothing really. But I just wish they would hate me.

        Why do you want people to hate you?

          It sounds like a self fulfilling prophecy to justify their self hatred.

            It's a way to always be right, and never get disappointed. It's also a sad way.

              It is sad, but that's how defense mechanisms work. All things follow the path of least resistance, that's why the psyche/subconscious/ego creates circumstances to keep people unaware. There's less apparent trauma, stress, danger that way, but also less fulfilment.

          Sorry for the late reply.

          But if it helps I’m the person who wrote the story about being autistic and disliking them myself.

          I just hate feeling so different from everyone else and struggling with social cues. I feel like a loser and deserve to be disrespected.

            I'm sure that's not easy, but you gotta learn to love yourself.

              Thank you. I’ll try and when I’m more settled I’ll get professional help.

            I don't like telling people what to do, but you should analyze what you don't like about yourself and how you could improve it. I would suggest looking into shadow work as introduced by Carl Jung.

            Did something traumatic happen to you to feel this way?
