Is it normal to hate oneself?

I hate myself. I suck at everything I do. I wish I was dead. I'm ugly. I'm not smart. I'm not good at sports or anything else for that matter.

Is It Normal?

  • Your thinking is just a downward spiral. Try words of affirmation everyday!

  • Hey, your post is 50 times more literate than most on here, so at least you do that well. No misspellings, poor grammar or punctuation.
    So take it down a notch or two and realize you aren't the stupidest or most uneducated one on IIN, at least!

  • Thinking that way festers and only gets worse unless you make an effort to start recognizing your positive qualities.

    You are not as horrible as you believe you are. Everyone has good and bad qualities; the good ones make them likeable and the bad ones make them interesting.

    Talk to someone who loves you about how you're feeling and if there are a shortage of those type of people in your life, then talk to a counsellor about it. You need some authentic feedback from someone in your life who knows you well and will treat your feelings with care.

  • Are you the queen?

    Force yourself to start thinking more positively, even if you know it's not true!! Thinking so negatively is probably an exaggeration and is just not helpful.

  • Agreed. But there is no guarantee I'll ever be good at anything.

  • And you never will be good at anything with all that self-doubt.
