Do you hate yourself sometimes?

Philippines

I do. 'Cause sometimes there's things that I do without even thinking, I make decisions that is just plain foolish. But, I do like myself all in all, not to the conceited type, I actually think of others before myself mostly.

hi the_dutchess :) i truly agree!:) sometimes we make decisions that can benefit the others-not to hurt them and better to hate our self rather than these people will hate us right? yeah do sometimes hate myself but it will not last that long- myself is the one who will be there for me the most LOL- i just keep on retracking my focus and being optimistic in every step/moves that i make ;) and at the end of the day the only person that we will be with me is my self... did i make you confuse? lol ;) happy myLotting!:) Godabless!0=)

Hey myralmedo! How you've been? "myself is the one who will be there for me the most" that is so right, LOL Well, I really think that it's better to hurt ourselves than to hurt others... well, if you're a selfless person and depends to the situation

I am disappointed with myself sometimes, and there are things I wish I had thought through before doing them, but I don't hate myself. I guess you just have to try and learn from your mistakes and keep going.

Hey corty! Thanks for responding. Well, yeah, I guess, disappointed is more appropriate word and it's really important that we love ourselves despite of our shortcomings 'cause that's how we learn and be a better person. Sometimes, it's too tiring to always do things right but I know eventually, we'll be rewarded from it.

Good day.. I sometimes do hate myself. I guess it's normal for we're not perfect. I sometimes hate myself for not doing the things that I should have done, though I seldom regret the things that I've done whether it's wrong or right, I learned to live with my mistakes. For me it's better to learn from mistakes than not learning anything at all.

It is good to hear that you do like yourself, you sound like a nice person. I guess being with yourself is like any other relationship; you can get on your own nerves sometimes! (LOL) I have scolded myself for some of the decisions I've made over the years and there have been times when I wasn't too keen on myself but as I grew older and got to know myself better I became more comfortable in my own skin and realized that basically I am a good person who wishes no harm to anyone and who loves to lend a hand to whoever may need it. I'm just not perfect and I have made mistakes. I had to learn to be kinder to myself and not feel guilty about things that cannot be changed.

Hey Paula! Thanks! Seems like you're a nice person, too. Yeah, we could really avoid doing mistakes and hate ourselves for it specially when it's really regretful. But, the most important part is forgiving and learning. Thanks, again!

You are a very kind person. Think more of others is a grace, which in long run, will help you establish your positive image. When people come to you for help, for fun, you will have a good feeling of accomplishment. Mutual friendship is something we cannot do without. You can get input from them to enrich your knowledge and indirect experience. And if needed, they are also your resort for help. Happy mylotting.

Thanks for the compliment, zhuhuifen46! Yeah, but you know, what it's tiring sometimes to put others first and sometimes, I've been taken for granted which is really hurtful. But, you know, I do what is right and just pray things will soon be alright. Thanks again.

I sometimes hate myself,too! I used to be alot worse but over the years I have learnt not to! I used to hate myself for doing stupid stuff. I sometimes hate the way I look! I'm still trying to except my body! I lot of why I hate myself has to do with low self-esteem and confidence! It has gotten a heck of alot better over the years! it has been a long struggle but I'm getting there!

Hey blue65packer! Glad to know that you're taking the effort to make things better. You shouldn't hate yourself because of physical appearance. Try not to think of people who'll just put you down, won't do anything good. I'm sure you're a good person and be proud of it. Thanks for the respond.

Well I think there is a day you seem feeling not good about yourself, cause I know I am not perfect and I commit mistakes cause I am just human, but I hate it when I don't do the right thing, like waking up in the morning and woke up in the other side of the bed, or waking up late and have to rush to work and when I arrived it's kind a late people looked at you and ask you why are you late. I hate it! I know I can't complain about I lack rest imagine that I work from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. 6 times a week and it's really tiring. Reasons that I know my boss will not understand. Still even I' am very tired I feel sometimes terrible and I don't wanna commit a mistake. But I know I do my work well, and just comes a day when I feel that way. When I hate myself sometimes I still just think of improvements then sulking in just one corner. Have a nice day to you!

Geez, your work is really tiring. I'd be so exhausted everyday doing that. Oh well, what can we do, we have to work. Sometimes, I hate work sometimes, too.

What is important is that when we are mad at ourselves we need to forgive ourselves as this does add stress the body via the nervous systems. As a Zen practitioner, I see this as important because when we have an awareness of another person, that awareness is part of our true Self, because true Self is our awareness. Whatever we resent, (self or other), is a form of attack. Love our Others as Self and Self as othes. . Derek

You're a zen practitioner, interesting. Those are very meaningful words. Thanks for that explanation.

Any time I feel a strong emotion about myself or others I look for the reason and the lessons. This works for both good and bad emotions. I don't blame, I look for reasons.

Yes, sometime things what we do causes us to hate ourselves. I don't know about others but when I do something wrong then I hate myself that I could have done it in a right way. I lost my job last year and I was gettting offers from my last to last company with a handsome sallary but I didn't say yes to that and now I am repenting because I am yet jobless. That was the decision which causes me to hate myself till date.

Oh, that's too bad. I guess that's not really a smart move. I wish you'll find a good job soon. Just keep on searching and I'm sure you'll find one. Good luck Sanuanu!

Hey Isabella! Oh no, that's too sad, making everyone miserable around you. But, I think when you put in efforts to try to work things out, I'm sure it'll soon be fine. Sometimes, when I'm in bad mood, I do affect people around me, too so what I'll do is try to be as calm as possible and resolve things to the best of my abilities. Thanks for the response!

Yes, I do hate myself sometimes. Especially when I make really stupid mistakes, or stupid decisions. Otherwise, I like who I am. I'm not perfect, but who is, really? I just try to be as good of a person as I can.
• Philippines
28 Feb 09
No one is perfect and I guess it's just normal that we do hate ourselves sometimes 'cause we make stupid things that we regret doing and I guess it's just how we learn

I would say that I was disappointed with myself, sometimes, when I do dumb things. I still love me, unconditionally. I think I do some things more out of passion, without thinking on how it will turn out. I have gotten better, but sometimes I still do dumb things.
• Philippines
28 Feb 09
Me, too, I love me Well, I guess it's just unavoidable to do dumb things, not that we intend to do it but, you know, just happens without even knowing that we did it. Thanks for your response, nanajanet!

I never hate myself (not good for me overall), but I do dislike things I do. Sometimes I even hate wrong actions. Those are the ones that I would most like to get rid of first.
