Do You Love Yourself?

[mojofilter]

It depends on my mood. Somedays, I feel good about who I am, and on other days I wish I was someone else.


Overall, I think I could have done more in the past to be a better person today.

You're saying if you had done more things to be proud of in the past, you'd be a better person today?

[Omnizoa]

I don't think I could ever be the kind of person who "loves being me".

I'm very self-critical.

Fascinating. And you live with this just fine?

[Nostromo87]

this question reminds me of the last scene from On Stranger Tides,
even though that movie is average

Angelica says to Jack,
"Wait, there is something i want to say to you... something i wanted to say, from the moment we first met..."
Jack "Go on then" starts nicely, from 1:02 mark

"I *love* you :kiss::kiss::kiss:"
"As do I, Always have, Always will......... I gotta go"

best bit of the movie

[Naisy]

I think I'm pretty good

[foster]

I wish I was a normal ordinary person

[Omnizoa]

Fascinating. And you live with this just fine?
I judge myself harshly by my own standards, not any elses. From my perspective, I'm pretty unremarkable. Saying "I love myself" would sound conceited and I've done more than enough things I can't forgive myself for to already have a pretty low opinion of myself.

As to how I live like that, I live in a lot of ways that most people would sooner give up on than consider.

[Fabulous]

Rarely.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Omni, what kind of harsh judgments about yourself do you make? If you can give me an example.

Do these judgments help you? Are you always looking to improve yourself more than the average person? Are you a perfectionist?

[Derek Vinyard]

I do my thing and I say whatever I want... If you don't like me it's ok.

I'm very okay with who I am. Proud, even.

You shouldn't be taking advice about happiness from a dude that blew his own head off.

[mistique]

Sometimes.

[Optimus]

Like others have said, some day's i feel good and other day's feel ******.

[Omnizoa]

Omni, what kind of harsh judgments about yourself do you make? If you can give me an example.
Without getting too personal, I just get frustrated with myself when I make mistakes, like if I plan something out carefully, but I forget something that throws the whole plan outta whack. I don't like to shove off blame or make excuses, I know better and it gets to me when I can't be better. I think it's important to ask questions, and I frequently second-guess myself.

A pretty reliable example would be virtually any time I try to draw something. I have the mental image in my head down to the details, but I have significant difficulty putting it to paper without making what appear to me to be glaring mistakes. I'll typically scribble it all out in frustration and start all over several times in attempt to find the right track while doing my best to compromise between unforgivable mistakes and forgivable mistakes. Even when I do, it'll still take me many many hours (my current avatar is no exception). I envy people who seem to be able to articulate themselves well the first time every time.

It's not dissimilar from my posting habits. I do a lot of editing. What few typos you may still see in my posts I'm almost certainly aware of and intentionally trying not to think about.

Do these judgments help you? Are you always looking to improve yourself more than the average person?
Maybe literally so, but I'm not gauging myself against anyone else even if others may influence my idea of what I should aspire to.

I do feel that I can improve myself, and I've made numerous risky changes to that end, which I suppose is why I end up being a pretty unconventional person without much opinion of myself. I guess that's how you get modesty? Is it even modest to call yourself modest? I don't know, but I do know that humility goes a long way with me.

Are you a perfectionist?
Kinda. My floor and desk are usually a total mess. Probably because those things are always in transition. Stuff that sits around I really do try to keep neat and organized (it's a constant battle on my desktop).

I think I'm worse when it comes to video games because they're so complex and it's easy to suboptimize. But that depends too.

[Yasashii]

I hate myself very much. As far as my looks go I hate being tall. Most people have a complex if they are too short. I would love to be short. I hate my hair because they are falling out quickly and in a few years I will look like a grandpa. I hate my oversized belly, my gigantic feet and the fact that I have dense body hair. I hate my barely working heart and my damaged brain.

I hate myself as far as mental characteristics go as well. I'm weak, I'm flawed and I'm broken. I'm afraid of tons of things, I can't stop hating on loads of things and I can't get along with virtually anybody for more than a year. I'm a snobbish, selfish, socially awkward prick who won't let anyone have a different opinion on certain things. I ask "why not?" when everyone else goes "why?" and vice versa. I lack motivation to do a bunch of stuff I should have done long ago. I complain about being tired by work when I have 7 lessons to teach while others spend entire days working without saying a word.

I can't enjoy simple things because something is either perfect or useless to me. It is very easy to make me angry, and even easier to make me cry. I'm extremely forgetful, I can't focus on a task for long enough to actually finish it most of the time. What little potential I have is wasted by my laziness.

I am an error. I'm a hiccup of the system. I should be corrected and ironed out like a bug in the software of the universe.

The problem is I'm way too much of a pussy to off myself. Fingers crossed for cancer, though.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Goodness. That was some post, Yasashii. Never thought of you like that before. I thought you seemed whiny, but now you sound ten times worse! Very fascinating, though. You too, Omnizoa. You people who hate yourselves are making the most interesting posts in here. Let's hear from some others who DESPISE their existence!

[CiCi]

I'm not the best, but I'm not the worst is how I look at it :D

But I've been dealt with what I have, so I just try to make the best of it! I wouldn't say I love myself though :lol:

[Camo]

As far as my looks go I hate being tall.

Used to hate being tall when i was a kid, always towered over all of my friends and i felt people thought i was some creepy older kid hanging around with children haha.

To the rest of your post, i'm sorry you feel that way mate. Sounds like you need to get help mate no offence. Hope you feel better :).

[honeykid]

Yasashii, you aren't alone. I've heard loads of people say things like that about themselves. I've said plenty of them myself.

I remember buying some cigarettes once and the woman who sold them to me said "they'll give you cancer", to which I replied, "that's the plan." She looked horrified and said I didn't mean it. I spent the next couple of minutes explaining why that's exactly what I meant.

Camo is right in that it sounds as if you could do with some help from someone. If it's available, you should think about trying it. If you do, sadly, I can assure you you'll see you're not alone in feeling that way by any means.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Why did you want cancer, Honeykid? If a strange cashier lady can know, let us!

[honeykid]

It's not that I wanted cancer, per se. It's just that then I could die and I wouldn't have taken my own life. I won't leave my mum or sister on their own, so I'm here for as long as they are. Cancer would've given me an out without having let them down.

[Derek Vinyard]

I don't talk about Kurt Cobain I talk about the quote because it's a d*mn fact

This describes exactly how I felt for most of my teenage years. It was not so much about hating myself. I mean I did hate myself but it was more about the fact that as a teenager I was very liberal but grew up in an extremely conservative environment. So I always thought there was either something wrong with me or that I was stuck in a place I would never be able to get out of.

[DalekbusterScreen5]

Yes. I want to clone myself and get married to my clone, I want to make love to my clone and I want to have kids with my clone even though as I'm male we'd both be male so theoretically it wouldn't work.

[Sexy Celebrity]

I never hear about your father, honeykid. I assume he's not around.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Yes. I want to clone myself and get married to my clone, I want to make love to my clone and I want to have kids with my clone even though as I'm male we'd both be male so theoretically it wouldn't work.
The last thing we need are clones of you.

True.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Yes. Even if I may hate some things about me. I'm all I'm guaranteed to have forever while alive. I know myself better than anyone else. If I can love other people, I can love myself.

That's... I lack the vocabulary to summarize what I think of that. Just seems like another thing you'll come to regret with time. Cancer is no easy way out, let alone an excuse to take your hands off the wheel.

Goodness. That was some post, Yasashii. Never thought of you like that before. I thought you seemed whiny, but now you sound ten times worse! Very fascinating, though. You too, Omnizoa. You people who hate yourselves are making the most interesting posts in here.
I don't hate myself, I just don't love myself either.

As rough as I've had it I've always understood that, save such extreme situations which I'll likely never face, suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem and most of our problems we impose upon ourselves. Even if there were terrible situations we couldn't easily escape otherwise, it's important to balance ourselves. Instead of just thinking about all the things you have to die for, you should think about all the things you have to live for. There's more than most people are ought to give credit.

It's not that I wanted cancer, per se. It's just that then I could die and I wouldn't have taken my own life.
By smoking? Isn't that sort of like walking around caves and flicking quarters in hoping to enrage a bear? If the intent is to die, then the mentality is nothing short of suicidal.

I won't leave my mum or sister on their own, so I'm here for as long as they are.
I'm pretty sure cancer shortens life expectancy.

Cancer would've given me an out without having let them down.
So long as your sister or daughter catching cancer before dying prematurely doesn't let you down.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Honeykid doesn't smoke anymore. From what I gather.

[matt72582]

Speaking of suicide, I guess you can always just do the things you always wanted to do but never did because of wanting to save health, impress someone, or not having the money -- Go max out ALL your credit cards, go take loans (especially student loans) and have a ball.

No. No I do not. With all my defects and f*ck-ups no one infuriates and exasperates me as much as I do.

Well, stop having them.

[Cobpyth]

Do You Love Yourself?

Yes.

Are you happy with who you are? Are you proud of the way you look? We didn't choose to be who we are. Are you okay with what you got?

Yes.

Are you proud of yourself?

Not yet.

[Slappydavis]

I do, I truly do. And I try not to take it for granted, because I didn't when I was younger.

[ashdoc]

physically i have never looked more fitter---if you look at my photos in personal pictures thread recently posted .

instead of getting addicted to alcohol cigarettes etc i have tried to get addicted to seeing and reviewing movies by going to theatre and travelling to distant parts of india....and boy , these addictions are costlier than alcohol and cigarettes .

[Swan]

For all the bullsh*t I have to deal with, I think my favorite thing about myself is that generally, I'm very happy and optimistic. Whenever I remind myself of my schizophrenia and social anxiety, I quickly remember - you know what, at least I don't have depression. My friend has bipolar and mainly deals with the depression side of it, and it sucks seeing him go through heavy bouts of extreme sadness. I feel a lot for people with depression, I've come to understand just what that means as much as anyone without depression can. But I'm almost the opposite - too happy. And I mean that in a positive way.

This happiness is something that has arisen over the last few years. I used to be very uneasy about life, I remember a time when I was petrified of death. What I mean is, I've had my fair share of sadness just like anybody. But eventually my outlook became a positive one. I've become a very upbeat individual inside and with that, I've built emotional calluses from all the outward negativity. It takes a lot to bring me down now.

Of course, there's a lot of room for improvement. But one of the cool things about living life for most of us is, as long as you try, you're only going to progress as a person and get better. At least, I hope that's the case. I feel I'm a better person than I was a year ago, and a far better person than I was five years ago, and infinitely better than I was ten years ago. And I feel I'll just keep getting better and better.

I don't know if/when I'll be proud of myself as a person. I think I'm already proud of my good traits, but I don't think I've accomplished enough to be truly proud of my entire being. I'll be proud of myself the day I make an amazing piece of music, or get married, or have a child. But most of all, the day I reflect and realize my social anxiety is over and done with - that's probably the day I'll be proud of myself most of all.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Why be proud of yourself only when you get married and have a child? A lot of people do that -- and then get divorced.

[Swan]

Mostly because it would mean I overcame a lot to get to that point.

[Bubblerune]

Such a deep topic! I do love myself, but I always think there's more room to improve myself. It is never good enough in my opinion

[honeykid]

If it's never good enough, what makes you think you love yourself?

[Monkeypunch]

You know what? I do. I'm not perfect, I'm a bit fatter than I'd like, I have a bad heart, anxiety, almost more grey hairs than brown ones at this point, and I can sometimes be negative. I've also survived a heart attack, an abusive relationship, a bad childhood, and more heart break than I can count, but I'm still funny, generous, kind, optimistic, and just a good person. I persevere. I never give up. So I do love who I've become through all my adversity. I am me, and that's all I need to be. :)

[TONGO]

Im too shy to be talking about this.

[Hit Girl]

Do I love myself? Definitely not. Do I hate myself? No, I don't think so. There are things about myself that I like, and things I don't like. Actually plenty of things I don't like. :)

[Bubblerune]

If it's never good enough, what makes you think you love yourself?

I am happy with who I am and how I am (towards others), but I just keep wanting to improve myself. I cannot explain it hahah. It keeps me busy...

Do I love myself? No. You gotta keep moving on though ;)

My gosh, I've written that, never lived it. It was for a narcissistic character. And then when she finished, "Oh my me!"
