Is it normal to hate yourself?

The last couple of year years of been through some really difficult stuff and I don't know if it's because of that or if it's just a fact of I hate myself.
I hate looking in the mirror and nearly every time I do I want to cry. I don't take photos with my friends because I hate my appearance, which makes me feel like an outcast. I really don't know what to do. Is it just a something that will pass or will I feel this way forever?

    Totally normal! I hate myself as well, and hate everything about me. I end up taking down people around me, but that's another story. But yeah, it's totally normal in my opinion to hate one's self!

    This is a major problem. You have your whole life to live and if you don't take some action to change your perception, you will be living the rest of your life unhappy. And you deserve to be happy! You have so many options:

    *see a therapist
    *find out if your problems can be solved with just therapy or if it'd be appropriate to be on an anti depresant or other medicine.
    *sounds so silly but positive affirmations really do work if you commit to it.
    *and the bottom line is, you can choose to let society and selfish people make you feel bad, or you can choose to be comfortable with who you are and change your reaction to life and your perception of life.

    I haven't worked out why people worry about their appearance, it's not as if we have to walk along with a mirror in front of us all day! Let it be other people's problem, if they don't like you then they don't have to look at you. Their loss!!

    Just be yourself and I bet someday you'll be like the ugly duckling and turn into a beautiful swan. You'll probably still criticise yourself if you don't get over it now!! Chill out - looks don't really matter that much.

    unfortunately that is the way. i feel the same way sometimes but i have gotten better than i was. i hated myself to the point where i considered doing other things. but maybe seeing someone you can talk to like a therapist could help? they are actually very good to talk to and can offer you better advice than people on a website. you are completely normal no matter what anybody says. the main thing you have to learn how to do is just not care what people say or think. just do youre own thing and be happy with it and forget the people that are their to make judgements on you. they will judge you no matter what. you could have a wedding with 500 people and they will complain because of the food or they couldnt see blah blah blah, or you could have a wedding with 50 people and then people will complain i wasnt invited or tight asses blah blah blah. its the way of the world so just do what you want and screw them all!!
