Is it normal that i don't love myself?

I love others and I see great qualities in other people, just not myself.
I don't see anything about myself that I like. I don't see good qualities within myself. Is this normal?

    I hate myself, and like another commenter we are our own biggest critics. I want to love myself but even that seems futile. Though, I'm all I've got most times and i just want to be able to live with that and be happy with my material things that i earn and purchase for myself.

    I dunno. Your title made me think of DMX lyrics. Sorry.

    Oh, but stop searching and you shall find.

    You are your toughest critic. You know ever flaw about yourself because you are with yourself 24/7. There is never a time when you are not you, so of course you will notice every little flaw. Sadly this seems very common amongst a lot of people, myself included.

    I have the same problem. I don't know if it's possible to love oneself. Sometimes I see everything good about me as a falsity, and all the evil in me as an overwhelming truth but I the fact of the matter is we have the potential to be both and I think if I can choose the the right one than maybe I can finally love myself. If the good in others is undoubtable to you as it is to me, I hope we can see that it can be just as true in us.

    Dramatics aside I hope you can see what I'm saying.

    I love myself. I'm absolutely awesome, and not afraid to admit it.

    It's such a shame you're not as awesome as me so you'd be able to love yourself too.

    Most people are like this, it's the hardest thing to do because the mind is ones worst criticizer. There is a saying that I kinda believe it is- You can't love anyone else before you love yourself. In other words you can only love someone else when firstly and foremost you love yourself.

    I am the same... however, not only I don't love myself... I don't love others either. In fact, I think less of most people.
