Poll: do you love... yourself?

[Johnny Impact]

I have never liked myself.

When I was a kid I didn't so much hate myself as hate everything and everyone, myself included. Now that I've mellowed, I understand I am a fundamentally unlikeable person. It's not self-hate so much as an acute awareness of just how unlike others I am.

I don't pursue friendship or romance because I like all the wrong things. Commonality is necessary for friendship and there is simply never enough of it. If a thing is popular, that's a pretty good indication that I won't care for it. I stand apart. I am lonely and frustrated all the time.

Humans are social animals. I am not. The ability to socialize is one of the bigger criteria for normality and health. If I don't socialize, I'm neither normal nor healthy. If I'm not normal or healthy, I'm some kind of sick deviant. If I'm sick, something in me must need curing.

But what?

I feel like I'm defective, like the factory workers missed installing some critical part. For the life of me I can't figure out what that part is or where in me it would go. I only know I seem to lack something everyone else seems to have.

I probably didn't explain that very well. The answer is no, I don't.

why do you belive you are broken? why do you think something is missing? its just you
your not bad or wrong in any way you are just you
not a broken piece just a diffrent one with diffrent blueprints or something...

 

[ZiggyE]

I wouldn't say I hate myself. In fact, I kind of like myself. It's just life in general I tend to dislike.

 

[Farther than stars]

I'm fine. I tend not to be too enthusiastic about myself, since narcissism isn't going to help anyone, is it? (No, not even you in the long run.) Plus I make mistakes from time to time; I think I still have enough to learn.
But then I don't hate myself for my iniquities, because self-pity definitely isn't going to help anyone. (No, not even you in the short run.)
So like I said, I'm just fine about the way I am.

P.S. You broke up with someone over something as simple as your self image?! That she found you intolerably self-absorbed I could understand, but you broke up because you tended towards the more humble side of self analysis? You didn't do something drastic or what?

P.P.S. I like how you spelled sorry.

 

[martin's a madman]

Every goddamned night.

 

[furmaster3000]

I've got big eyes
Full lips
Six pack
Hair that never go's out of style
And I can smile showing all my teeth.

I feel pretty oke about myself ^^

well she broke up with me and it wasnt the only reason it was just the "double tap"...

 

[Son of a Mitch]

Yeeeeeeaaaaaahhhhh..... No. I'm a lazy, self-entitled moron. I just kind of seem like I know what the hell I'm doing. Trying to get better though, so I guess that's worth something.

 

[WorldCritic]

I'm alright. I've made some stupid decisions, but who hasn't? I can be a bit of a dick, but not nearly as much other people I know.

 

[R4GNOR0K]

I used to hate myself, then, I realized that fucker was always around, so know I tolerate him.

 

[Formica Archonis]

I love me
I think I'm grand.
I go to the movies
and hold my own hand.

 

[Drall]

Yeah, I love myself. I'm flawed, but aren't we all?

 

[Dott]

Yep.

 

[DiabloBub666]

It depends on the day. The liking of myself shifts so much from day to day... as a whole, though, I dislike myself A LOT. Although, I'm told there's no reason for this.

Oh, and I'm a guy.

 

[Drakmorg]

Nope. I am an absolutely worthless excuse for a human being. I have no redeeming qualities and the world would be better off if I were dead.

 

[XandNobody]

I love pie. No, really, I make a damn good pie, and I love that I know a me that can make such a damn good pie.

Does that count? If not, want some pie?

 

[BanicRhys]

I punch myself as hard as I can as punishment for being so crap.

I love straight up meat pies, none of that chicken, mushroom or cheese crap, dessert pies are ok too, I guess.

 

[GartarkMusik]

I do like myself, for now. BUT I WILL ALWAYS LOVE PIE!!!!!! YAY PIE!!!!! *chomp* *BUUUUUUUUUUUURP* XD
