Daddy Bear Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 I do. In spite of the countless missteps I've taken throughout my life I think my heart's in the right place. I try to make amends for my mistakes and spread cheer whenever I can. Do you? Why or why not? Link to comment
need2bme Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 I am curious as to what brought about the subject question. I am sure that I don't like myself as much as I used to. I am trying to come around though. I always feel as if I could have done more and I am ALWAYS comparing myself to others. I don't remember doing this before, but this last relationship took a lot out of me. It was so toxic on both of our ends. I need to rebuild myself and part of that is learning not to be depressed and walking with my head up... Link to comment
hosswhispra Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 I do. In spite of the countless missteps I've taken throughout my life I think my heart's in the right place. I try to make amends for my mistakes and spread cheer whenever I can. Do you? Why or why not? Somedays I love myself and other days I don't (maybe due to hormones/no sunshine/feeling empty). Deep down though, I do love myself. Link to comment
renaissancewoman101 Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 I am not sure about that. Sometimes, I wish I accomplished more than I have up to this point in life. There are days when I hate myself and days when I am ok with myself. Final analysis. Not sure. Link to comment
laboheme Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 If I could clone myself, I wouldn't have to worry about finding a husband. In general, I am satisfied with where I am in life right now and where it looks like I'm going. Yes, there are many things that I would like to improve about myself, but things could be much worse...

pacman Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 I have never been a person to call myself down. I think I am an intelligent person and I am happy with my appearance. I dont believe that other people are better than me. So in that aspect I would say I love myself. On the other hand, many many times, my actions dont say that I love myself. I do many things to hold myself back or things that are self destructive. So I wonder if all my conscious self approval is a cover up for subconscious insecurities and low self esteem.

Dako Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 When depression has me, I can't tolerate myself, but the rest of the time I carry self-inflicted hickies. Link to comment
MissTee Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 I do most of the time. I mean I have my "fat" days, and bad hair days and "ugly" days. Sometimes these days can really really get me down. But in those instances I just book into a salon or spa and get treated. That sounds shallow but it's true... it's the only thing that really gets me down... When I feel like I don't look good. Link to comment
AwdreeHpburn Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 hmmmm...... No. But thanks for asking! Link to comment
Leonhart Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 I think I love myself, but I don't always like myself or what I do. Does that make sense? Link to comment
CarnelianButterfly Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Right now, no I don't. I look in the mirror and I see a lot of flaws and things that need to be changed. I always feel I'm not smart enough, my work isn't good enough, my work worthless. Sometimes I feel good, but a majority of the time, I'm not happy. Link to comment

I know that's not what this post is about but you're so lovely all the time. I shudder to think you feel that way about yourself........... Link to comment
doyathink Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Yep, I do. I love my kids more tho. Link to comment
run_little_rabbit Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Yes, I do! I'm full of flaws & insecurities, and have made so many mistakes along the way, said so many stupid things. I don't like myself every day (like Wilhelm said), but I do love myself. Link to comment
renaissancewoman101 Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 A lot of times, I find it hard to love myself, esp because my mom seems to be embarrassed of me most of the time. Link to comment
EvaGina Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 At the moment... Yeah, I think so... I mean, Im by NO means perfect, but I TRY to be a good person. I do my damndest to be a good partner/daughter/sister/friend... I am there for those who need me and I TRY to look on both sides of situations... I can be a hypocrite, but I think that is mostly because I care about my friends so much more than I care about myself. Link to comment
Newo Ikkin Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 There is no shorter answer than no. I cannot tolerate myself. And I can't see how I can be of any good to others. I don't believe in 'you gotta learn to love yourself before you can love another.' Link to comment
Daddy Bear Posted February 19, 2007 Author Share Posted February 19, 2007 Unfortunately, I concur also. I've known lots of people who gave love unsparingly to everyone but themselves. In the cases of Ellie, Newo, CB and Ren (among others here) it's a crying shame, because they truly, truly deserve a share of that love which they seem to give so freely. Link to comment
mintblossom Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 I care about myself. I don't want to suffer. I used to care about others so much more than me....because I felt it was selfish to even care about me. But then I realize I have to...otherwise I cannot have or keep a sense of self. I don't know if I love myself...but I certainly like myself better than I used to. And this is something that I'm working towards......to be able to have a sense of greater appreciation and care for myself. In that way, I shall be able to care for others more and genuinely as well.

TheFallenShadow Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 No, i dont, and most likely because there isnt anything left of me to...that or not deserving of it. Link to comment
piggypooh Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 I hate myself and if i cloned myself, i would fight my clone and he would fight me until there was nothing left to fight. The very thought of another "me" makes me feel sick. Self hatred is all I feel. Link to comment
caro33 Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 I'm okay. Not sure what "loving myself" is supposed to mean to be honest. Hate the way I look right now, hate aspects of myself. But other aspects are pretty bloody good. It always depends, doesn't it. Link to comment
Daligal83 Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 I have a lot of self-respect and I'm very protective of myself...but I can't say I love myself. I have pretty low self-esteem when it comes to 99% of myself. But I don't let it keep me from striving for more or doing my best (usually) and I try not to let others treat me the way I feel about myself. Link to comment
EvaGina Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Yesterday I loved myself, today Im not sure. Link to comment
