Do you love yourself or do you hate yourself?

Marie just inspired me to want to ask this question. It's a very profound question causing one to really look inside themselves.

How do you feel about yourself? Are you kind to yourself, respect yourself, or do you battle with yourself?

 

It's very difficult question.. I believe I'm kind to myself.

 

I have a love/hate relationship with myself. I am my harshest critic, but at the same time I can acknowledge my good qualities.

 

when I'm cooking, I sure do love myself

when I wake up in the morning and am forced to live in this strange world I wonder why I bother

 

I hate myself for loving you.



Ok, I will treat the question seriously.

There are things about myself I am working on. Aspects that I am not happy with. But at the end of the day, I know that I am loyal, respectful, and in crisis I will not run away or get angry. I've had internal struggles, sure, but ultimately I grow from them. All in all I am happy with myself.

I am curious to know what specifically inspired this question.

 

I respect and tolerate myself.

 

I love myself. I may piss me off alot, but I still love myself. If I don't love myself how can I love others? I can't give away something I don't have.

 

At the moment I'm certainly not feeling a lot of self love.

 

i had moments of pure hate towards myself and moments that i loved me like nobody else does!

 

I'm a happy medium.

 

I love the magic of loving yourself. You can create so much then. Well you can when you hate yourself as well.....but tis very different.

PLus it helps to teach the kiddies to have love and respect for themselves when they can mirror what you yourself feel

 

I love me and all the great things I have experienced in my life..but there have been times when I have hated myself for saying or doing something really stupid..but overall, what a great life:cheers2:

 

i use a mixture of love, hopeless optimism, denial and drugs

 

i love the fuck out of myself.

 

Hmm , I wouldn't change my looks or mind.Maybe bits of my psychological make-up.
I look in the mirror s'times and think "Hmmm yeahh" , or about sthg I did and its "Yep , I like being me.."

But also I'm looking at the negatives alot ..very driven.I have
little confidence in others-which affects *me* too.
Sometimes , I'm *very angry*with myself , or unable to understand myself /my paths and decisions.

In other words , its like I want help with the "user manual" for "me". LOL

 

On the deepest level I love myself, like I love everyone and everything.
On levels below that I usually love myself.
On the lowest level I am indifferent.

 

i vacillate between utter self loathing, just KNOWING i'm the biggest, ugliest, dumbest dick on the planet to being okay. it tends to come to the hatred when i'm tired, pissy and emotionally drained. but i see it for what it is and just wait for it to pass. it always does. it's just a bad day in a head being taken over by nonsense.

 

I have a very good love affair with myself. Dont know what it is but damn I dig me some me.
Sounds arrogant I know, but if you knew me and hung out, you'd find out otherwise.

 

it's true.

 

I love seeing your interactions with one another
