Do you like yourself?

Post Reply New Topic

I like myself a lot. I celebrate who I am and I don't compare myself to others. It's other people who try and tell me how to live my life that I don't care for. The old-fashioned types who think that gender should be the be all and do all. I blow off their advice and do the things that are right for me, that make me happy.

I have chronic low self-esteem but there are definitely times where I like myself more than others. Right at this moment, I actually like myself and feel kind of proud of myself. Tomorrow, it might be a different story though and self-loathing all day isn't uncommon for me. It shifts a lot. It very much depends on things that happen to me, and how good I feel like I'm doing. Can't deny that validation from others affects me too. I think I always feel insecure to some degree, but at the same time, I always respect myself and my own boundaries.

I am not as self-loathing as I used to be, but I don't think much of myself. I am unhappy with my physical build; hair too thick, skin too pale, eyebrows too weird, face too narrow, mouth too small, shoulders too broad, and I'm taller than I'd like to be. I know I can change some things on my body, but I am not really into beauty. I just wish I was naturally different to how I look. I do love the look and shape of my arms and legs though. That is why I look forward to the summer, when I can wear shorts and T-shirt and show off my arms and legs.

I'm not that happy with my personality either. But I think it's mostly my ASD or ADHD that shines a negative light on the way I see myself.

I don't hate myself, I hate my body and I hate my life.

Yes. I am the person I like the most. I can truly understand me, and I care for me in ways that nobody else does.

I've accepted myself, is the best I can come up with.

Yeah, I like myself, because I make sense to me, and I think I have excellent taste in interests and likes.

I struggle with perfectionism. When I realistically assess myself, I do well with all my challenges. I like myself, and so do other people.

Kip, just from what you post here about doing, you're wrong to think it easy. You have a lot of talent and plenty of drive to accomplish remarkable things.

Sometimes I do and sometimes I don't.

When I was younger, when I succeeded at something valued or difficult, sometimes I briefly liked myself

But the default is hatred

The older I get the more I hate myself

But I hate precious lil "most people"

And yeah I hate myself because I am lazy, apathetic, socially awkward. Academically stupid, given the effort. And etc cetera

Almost all the time. And I hate precious lil "most people" because they talk too much and too loud. They are too judgmental. They act like they are so awesome and important and do not tolerate the slightest disagreement. They are condescending



Not everyone all the time. But almost everyone. Almost all the time

acceptance is probably the only suitable word for what is felt. the image in the mirror doesn’t appear of that within, but it’s not an unpleasant form to be stuck with. many mistakes and failures have and will be made, but they’re seen as necessary parts of the process of cultivating modesty and learning. while there are numerous flaws, there’s yet to be one that hasn’t been found a work around for. gastrointestinal and neurological health are probably the only things that are wished better, but are being worked on with doctors.

I'm not sure.

All I have is variants of data about myself, not opinions or even a clear outlook about myself.
Mostly I see myself like a learning AI with personal inclinations and preferences.

For now, I conclude that I only have 'enough' self-esteem to accept myself, but not to just settle with that. Not too low or too high to be unhealthy or give up on growing.

I am a terrible, unlikable person. Who has terrible thoughts and done terrible things and is a burden to know.

Depends on the day; I'm so bipolar. Today I love myself and feel like I'll dominate the world somehow.

I love myself, since I have so many interests, done really fun things in my time and the fact I am a really nice and sweet person in general
