How do you keep from hating yourself?

By giving to others. It really is not about what the world thinks of you but what God sees in you.



The version found written on the wall in Mother Teresa's home for children in Calcutta:

              People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered.  Forgive them anyway.
            If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives.  Be kind anyway.
            If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies.  Succeed anyway.
           If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you.  Be honest and sincere anyway.
            What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight.  Create anyway.
            If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous.  Be happy anyway.
            The good you do today, will often be forgotten.  Do good anyway.
         Give the best you have, and it will never be enough.  Give your best anyway.
         In the final analysis, it is between you and God.  It was never between you and them anyway.

If all else fails, run, it clears the head...

I ten to hate everyone else instead!

mmm I think I mainly just kinda don't think of myself as a single coherent entity, more as just a mass of sensations, perceptions, reactions and thoughts loosely bound around some "self"

i realized a long time ago that the things that happened to me were not my fault in any way shape or form

Make an effort to be kind to others

Be busy and have an aim in life.

I dont.. I hate myself whenever i like
