I hate myself.


Question Posted Monday January 3 2005, 12:32 am

Pardon me for sounding emo. I really can't stand myself. I make bad choices, I am a terrible friend, and some of the things I say--that I hardly ever mean--really hurt people. Sometimes I can't even stand to look at myself in the mirror. My family doesn't seem to like me either. I don't have many friends. The only ones I have are jerks--but I don't feel like I have a right to get mad at them. It's what I deserve. I feel so guilty, but I can't think of anything that I have done wrong... But everything I do seems to be wrong, and I am always getting punished for things that I can't help. I am a terrible person.

You know what, EVERY person makes a mistake and some time in their life cannot stand themselves. Maybe this happens because you think so negative. It would help if you woke up with a smile and thought to yourself that 'Today will be a good day.' IF you did that then it would help. What reason would your family have to hate you? It is all in your mind you need to go see a therapist and not be so negative. You need to a change. Change your clothes, or your hair, or start wearing make up or stop wearing makeup. What ever you need to do to have a change in your life that is positive. One day you need to stop being so negative and make that day be today. I hope that this helps you.

I can relate. Sometimes I wake up and completely hate myself. It feels like everything I do is a mistake-- that I'm a mistake. This is a common feeling for some people because it's a phase that can really make you dislike yourself. I got out of it by changing my outlook on the world. I became optomistic and made everyday "sunny side up". If I want people to accept me for me and if I want my family to love me and respect me then I have to do the same in return. "Do unto others as you want done to yourself". I believe that saying goes something like that and it's the wisest one ever. Also "Good things come to good people". If you are a good person and smile at the world, the world will smile back. =]

It is good that you realize that your actions are not liked by others. You can still change. Maybe you should talk to a counselor or someone and try to make steps to improving yourself. I know it is hard but you can become a better person without changing who you are. All you have to do is regard other people and their feelings. Don't get down on yourself. A lot of people go through periods where their behavior is not the best. This is just a stage. A stage that you can work through.

Good luck.

Sweetie, don't hate yourself. You can only help yourself. But it's good that you feel guilty because that means you have a voice inside you saying that you are doing something wrong. If you were totally evil, trust me. This voice would not be there. But talk to someone you feel like you can trust... a family member or a friend... not a jerk friend. LOL. But DONT HATE YOURSELF. EVERYBODY MAKES MISTAKES, OK?Best of luck!

Well, it's the new year, why not start off right? Do something nice for your friends. Buy them a gift for no reason. Be nice to your family, do your chores w/o bein' told. Things like that. It's not to hard to change. Good luck!
Hope I helped!

Hey there no name :)

You seemed to be trying to construct an argument supporting the thesis that you 'are a terrible person'.

Pardon me for being anally analytical, but the reasons you gave for your conclusion do not substantiate this argument, they merley support the conclusion that you are human.

You are never going to be perfect, yes you will hurt people and there will be days or even years you will avoid the mirror...but guess what?

You can choose to be the kind of friend you want yourself, you can choose to make good choices, even if you just start with little ones...You don't have the ability to change your circumstances, but you so can change the way you react ---
Be strong, I know you wouldn't have written that message if you didn't have a tiny little inkling it wasn't true. While I think your pain is, the reasons for it aren't permanent, they are easily alterable...Go get 'em tiger.

Look, your mind wants you to think you can't stand yourself and you are a bad person, but if you really set your heart to it and you think about it, everyone makes mistakes. No one is perfect, no one at all! Your family is always supposed to be there to you and in some homes family hates you. I don't know if your family hates you but maybe you should spend more time with your family and try to work things out. And your jerk friends, you should ditch. Friends have a great impact on you and maybe those friends of yours are truly your friends. Look at yourself in the mirror, and take a good hard look at the person you are. It seems to me that you want to change yourself, but you can't. You need to get new friends, talk to your family and be careful what you say. Words mean something and are hurtful. You're not a horrible person, you're just trying to fight yourself to become a better person. Keep fighting and don't give up!

I think that you should talk to someone like a trusted adult or a psychiatrist. I don't think that you are as bad as you say you are but that you are insecure or worried about something. So talk to someone.

Okay. Well this wasnt really a question, but I doubt you're as terrible as you make yourself seem. I dont know how old you are but maybe you just have some terrible raging hormones. Please rate! Hope I helped.
