Do you feel you have lost self confidence?You can hate yourself only if you have lost confidence in yourself.We all have some negative qualities.We all have some minus points whereas others have plus points.I would not suggest you to dispel such negative emotions.I would rather suggest you to ignore them.Let negative thoughts come to your mind.Don't resist them.Just ignore them and try to improve yourself.You will automatically cease to hate yourself.

Never compare yourself with others,my friend.You are unique.We all sometimes face failures.So what?We can achieve success too.Assert yourself.I was a stammerer and so was unable even to respond to the roll calls in my classes.Gradually with persistent efforts I regained my speech.Don't lose heart,my dear friend.

Its a good thing that you still managed to see it yourself and not from other people.sometimes people forget to look at themselves first before they see the wrong of others.at least now that you see what is wrong within you,its time to straighten it out for the better.

i just remembered one song of michael jackson titled man in the mirror.i love that song.

19 Feb 13
yes. i guess i rarely look at myself in the mirror that i can't see how i'm doing as a person. now that i'm seeing myself in others, i guess it's easier to evaluate myself and improve for the better.

Honestly, I'm not the kind of person that does pass a lot of judgement on other people because of the fact that was something that my parents said that we shouldn't do when I was growing up. When it comes to recognizing characteristics in other people that I don't find to be desirable, I know that these are characteristics that I myself don't have. For example, one of the characteristics that really drives me nuts is addiction and though I will admit that I do have some vices in my life, none of the vices that I have are to illegal substances.

You know I have the same sort of issue I see people for the first time and I do not know what triggers a bad thought about that person. Like my brain or whatever wants to dig something out to make me not associate with him/her. I see my flaws a lot at times, but I would like to get the chance to see how I really appear and socialize than I assume.

Yeah I know I am for the fact that I have just seen the person for the first time and socializing for the first time. I know I need to put an end to these unfair thoughts

That could be true. What you can't accept about yourself you tend to vent it out to others. I have this one friend who really has some anger issue with his father. He says that his father is this and that, and that he hates when he does things. But then he ends up saying that he hates seeing himself in his father. He hates it that he is like his father. Sometimes there really are issues in our lives that we don't want to face, that's why we make excuses and these excuses become our reality. We dislike people because they are this and that, but the truth is we just don't like them being us. For some reason, I don't want to be really friends with someone who is like me. I think that would be a disaster. But of course there will be no one like me.

you really understand what i wanna say. sometimes you hate other people but if will really analyze, you hate yourself. i don;t understand why you don't wanna be friends with yourself. i guess you just have to love yourself more. you're you and you alone.

Hating others is a state of insecurity. But thank God you are able to see yourself in others. This shows that your are able to recognize you own mistakes and flaws. It is good to be able to know your flaws so that you can correct it. By correcting your mistakes and flaws you can improve for the better. I believe you can be a great man in the future. God bless you.

Yeah, sometimes, we can also see ourselves to other as a mirror and so we think we are bad enough or not that pleasant to others. Good thing that you have realized your fault and do some actions to correct that mistake. It is never too late.

Sometimes I hate others because of their behavior or attitude. Whereas, I don't know what others' perception toward me. When I introspect myself, I found there are many things that make me hate myself. Start from that time, I always introspect myself first before hating others, and for me it is better to maintain friendship than making enemy. I realize that hating others is not bringing advantage for me.

sometimes I feel like that too. I think that time it is good for us to stop that negative thaughts and replace them with something good. there is God, and other side evils, and we are humanbin between this two and for that we are mix of doing good and bad. so try to think good to get more good in your life. that is same advice I give to myself as I do not have ther life that I want so I wish and live with my wishes that they come true. sometimes those bad ones who are in my life hurt me alot and of course I also think the same way, hate them and hate myself that why I am alive? I know myself that I can not forgive those who hurt me easily and once I hate a person then nothing can change that feeling to good one. But I have made a list of my wishes and those that I want and when I am depress like that I read them. I look at my list and wish for changing. wish that when I think good, then good people replace to these bad ones and my life will change.

There are people in our life that make us happy and people who don't, people who annoying us and people who do not. it's okay if you don't like someone you can't do anything about this.Of course, you shouldn't criticize someone from the start without knowing them. When i was 15 I had a friend , a good one. The first time when I met her, I hadn't liked her, she was annoying one. When I start spend my time with her i realized that she was a good person and a cute one. In my opinion , you should spend some time alone without the crowd around you and think about it. If you'll meet someone who will give you the negative feeling ,try to approach him/her and find out if there really is something that annoys you. Be a good person, be yourself , make the others happy and you will see that you will find yourself and you will find your way in this life.

Then you need to have some reflections on how you have lead your life. We may find ourselves sometimes to be doing that because of all the frustrations that we have. but only when we do learn how to face our problems would we be able to see the beauty instead of the flaws.

i think it really is great to have some time for yourself alone and reflect on all things happening to your life. maybe you just need space to think. thanks for the advice.

Sometimes i also feel like i don't understand myself and who i exactly wanna be.So this is confusing.But you have friends and caring about you,so don't be depressed and everything is going well.Normally we can't see our flaws and you still got some shiny things on you.
• Philippines

i guess this is just a transition in life everyone has to do through. i'm not really depressed. it's just i realized i have some flaws i have to work on.
17 Feb 13
Hi this usually happens to me too.It is great that we have realized that this is may be our mistake but i feel it is the situation and circumstances that make us react in a odd way to people when some of their activities kindle pain to us.I hope this is part of ups and downs in any ones life and will be alright as days pass on.
