I hate myself. I think I'm a stupid, over-emotional, cowardly, pathetic waste of air and space. I call myself names and I hurt my own feelings. Is it normal?
This gets asked a lot here I notice. I don't see anything normal about this. Appreciate what you are good at and stop focusing on what you're not good at. Everyone has something they are good at and should feel good about that.
I understand your feelings. You should try focusing on your positive qualities.
I don't care for myself much either.
I find it quite difficult to find things I like about myself, but I guess I should focus more on that, rather than focusing on what I don't like about myself.
It shouldn't be normal, no.
Lets start loving ourselves!
Alright, fair warning, this is probably going to turn into a huge pep talk:
How do you expect others to respect you if you dont respect yourself? You are who you are, you have control over your own life. If youre not happy with yourself, strive to make yourself better. Instead of sitting by and beating yourself up, fix what you dont like about yourself until you are satisfied.
BUT, if you hate yourself because other people hate you, please do not change yourself to make others happy. Improve yourself for YOU, not others.
Every human being is special. If someone doesnt like you, well thats their loss.
