Confused - self-hate or self-pity under the guise of hate?
If you genuinely hate yourself I don't see why you would focus on it. Seems like it all it would do is put you in stasis and make life more difficult.
my personal opinion/experience is that its not something you control. I dont wake up and say "hey, i got nothing to do, lets hate me". It's all the things i've done in the past that bring me to that point, all the things I rightfully blame on me, all the things that ruined me and my life. They pile up, and combined with sadness, anxiety, non-existant self esteem and my stupidity, it makes me hate me. Hate the person I've become, hate the way my life is going, hate everything about me. And yes, it makes it all more difficult. But what do you do when you hate someone? You confront them or cut any sort of contact with them. I cant do than with myself, I tried to let this part of me go, but i realized that that's the only part of me left.
