Self hate

I know this is not a big problem as much compare to other people in this group but I often feel; I'm not intelligent, talented, decent looking as anyone around me that I'm not worthwhile to exist in this world. I just hate myself so much and I'm now scared that people is going to realize I'm nothing important and turns away from me.


However is not that I'm trying to kill myself, I actually want to get out from this feeling. I want to get myself back with motivation like I was few years ago where I still wasn't good at anything but  always had a motivation to fight for it to get whatever my goal is. And I think that's more close to the right way of living life in my opinion. May I please have some help to encourage and motivate me to make my and maybe even someone else's life a little better?

Hey.
First of all, your problems are not less important than anybody else's. Just because some people have more urgent problems it doesnt mean your feelings dont matter. They are important too.
And it is good that you are trying to get better and are willing to talk to people. For me the most difficult part was always trying to reach out for help.
You are a strong person so think positive and you will reach your goals

I can think of little else worse than self hate. In the literal sense, that is pretty much the bottom of the barrel.

I don't know you, but I can assure you that you are .. WITHOUT A DOUBT, MORE intelligent, talented, AND decent looking than hundreds of thousands of other people. Doesn't that make you happy?

Of course not ... because when you hate yourself, doesn't matter how you look, smart you are, talented you are, or even wealthy or famous you are. You cannot be happy without love, and when there is no love FOR YOURSELF, there is no love at all.

GOOGLE "How to learn to love yourself" .... About 63,700,000 results. Learn to do it ... because until you do, you will stay where you are ... or worse.

Like that moive Forstgume. YOu do'nt need have to be intelligent or talented to be successfull or rich.
The most intellengent person on earth is the lonelyest. Because no one can understand him. If someone have intellegnt or talent like me. They have other flaws. No one is that perfect.

Moment to moment, tough moments. I have requested prayer during my darkest times and the next moment/day seems better. We are all worthwhile no matter what we are going through.

Thank you so much to people who had read and replied my post above, you all gave me such a light to my heart. Although we don't know each other, I feel supported. I know I will have to deal with my self-hate many times through out my life, but I feel so encouraged to face them and fight for it.
You all make me feel glad I joined and shared my thought here.
