I hate myself, but that's just because I know myself too well. If I got to know somebody else well enough, I'm sure I'd hate them just the same!

Everything on the inside is perfect,but I'm gonna give some feedback to god in the future. The body itself could use improvement. I'm sure many people agree with me on this

I love myself but I would never claim to be perfect. There was a time in my life when I had a lot of self-loathing and couldn't stand to even look in the mirror, but I learned the hard way that if you don't love and care about yourself, how can you expect anyone else to do the same? More then that, I'm a christian and believe everyone is made in God's image and that we shouldn't hate ANYONE because of that and because he commanded us to love each other and ourselves. While that's never been easy and I don't at all claim to have succeeded, it's what I strive for.
Me? That asshole? Fuck no. That douchebag always keeps me up until, like, 3 AM and makes me fat by eating more sweets than he should. What a dick. And the way he never cleans up our room, God almighty, it's infuriating.
And don't get me started on how lazy he is.

My sympathies about it not working out for you, OP.idodo35 said:
I personally used to hate myself. Then again, I was a wussy ass nerd whose friends were all at another school, and the school I was at was one of those private-all-male-catholic-high-schools. Since I wasn't a physical guy (and super naive and shy), I got shoved around and mocked by the jocks and cool kids. Then it got to the point where people a year under me were picking on me (and being a pacifist and just generally too nice, I couldn't bring myself to do anything but tell the administration....who pretty much did nothing). So since everyone else seemed to love to hate me, I started to hate myself too.
Plus, I was going through some emotional/personal issues since I was dealing with this weird twisted side to me that had been surfacing, and the overabundance of religious moralizing/prayers/priests-as-religion-teachers/ETC was not helping me make any progress, and was in fact making me feel like I was insane. So add some religious guilt about myself to the pile of self-hate.
...Fortunately, after escaping that hell hole and going to college, I started to come out of my shell, and regain some lost confidence. And start dealing with my inner issues properly (after developing my own "spiritual" identity as agnostic, I was able to see my weird side as just that. Just a weird part of of who I was, not the evil cancerous "soul-tumor" that I was seeing it as in high school)
It's taken 5 years, a job, and getting a girlfriend...but I have finally reached a normal level of self-esteem. I still am not able to take charge in any given situation, and I still lack some confidence in my skills, but I can finally look myself in the mirror and say "You know what, I'm ok. Not better than anyone else, but not any worse for it either. I'm just a nice guy, who loves to slack off."
So...Aside from hating myself once in a while for slacking off when I should be working....I actually think I'm a pretty cool guy, who has fun and doesn't afraid o-*is shot*
