7 Signs You Hate Yourself

A lot of us feel like we don’t deserve to have our dreams come true or have good things happen to us, and sometimes, no matter how far we’ve made it or how much we’ve already accomplished, we still don’t feel content. Why is that?

The answer isn’t an easy one. Most likely, it’s when we grapple with feelings of self-loathing or self-hatred. Self-loathing is defined as a hatred for oneself that often manifests as anger, self-sabotage, a negative view of oneself, and low self-esteem.

Hi everyone! Do you unintentionally hate yourself or know someone who does? We to all some extent lack a bit of self love, so that's why this video is made to help us recognize times when we may not be doing ourselves a service. If you resonate with any of these signs, know that you are not alone. We can only grow when we are self aware.

Quick favor! We're launching a channel that makes our content more accessible in Korean. But on top of that we will be doing movies reviews from a psychological perspective. If you're interested, do consider supporting us here:

Okay, YouTube, it’s starting to get personal now.

[leahfenn]

I *know* I hate myself, I'm just fact-checking at this point

[anasdarkaoui]

You're not comfortable letting other people help as you believe your troubles are yours alone and you deserve them" That one hit deep 😢

[deeprajadhikary]

I’ve never been able to take a compliment . Every time someone compliments me or my work, It weirds me out and makes me think that I don’t deserve it.

[oiradzenitram]

It’s not a coincidence that this was recommended to me.

[liscan]

Whenever someone compliments me, I feel like they're lying

[TheFancyIceCube]

What’s sad is that when I opened up to my friends, they all laughed and thought I was joking. The only person who understood that I wasn’t joking was my best friend, and he told me that “all of us will probably make fun of you. Stop opening up. It makes us feel wrong and awkward.” I never opened up to anyone again.

Point number 5. “You isolate yourself from others”. I have never really had any friends, I’m not outgoing enough to talk to others, so I just stay alone. But when someone finally starts talking to me, and we have a lot in common. And we end up becoming the best of friends. I start to withdraw; I self sabotage the relationship because I hate myself. Which then makes me hate myself even more because I know I’ve hurt this person. I’ve done this to so many people and I can’t forgive myself for it. I want to apologize, but I don’t want to force myself back into their lives again and bother them. Idk why I’m writing this, I just really hate myself, and I don’t want to get better cause I don’t think that I deserve it. The best I can do is help others in whatever ways I can. I really appreciate Psych’s videos, they’ve made me realize that I’m not the only one that goes through stuff like this.

the worst part is that I am 100% self-aware of all these things, yet I still do nothing about it.

[boxpin]

Me throughout this whole video: “I feel like everyone does that... right?”

[OfficialChicas_Cupcake]

i feel like everyone got either recommended this and relates or found this and relates. its a shame that everyone relates

[abigailmoldovan-qtkw]

as someone who’s autistic and feels insecure everyday, i can confirm that this is true. since i was 11, my parents got divorced and i had to see them back and forth every day and week, and it’s tough. i was a happy child back then, now i feel scared, and alone. i don’t know what to do anymore. i expect tears in my eyes everyday, but they don’t come out. sometimes i feel emotionless. but i know everyone that tries to do everything for me are amazing people, they do the best they can to help me feel secure and joy everyday and im grateful for that ❤️❤️❤️

god bless from sunny florida 🌴❤️

[meriac]

[domenicaa.]

It's really sad how we can be really supportive with everyone, but harsh with ourselves.

[Toadbup.]

I've been watching a lot of your videos and a lot of the negative stuff really explains why I've been feeling this way this one is basically everything Ive been feeling and doing for years now
