First of all you are being to negative with yourself. You need to focus on the positive things about you and if you don't like the way things are in your life only you can change them. Take one negative each day and focus in on what you don't like and work on changing it into a positive. You can do it.

Hello there! I have the same problem. For me, just to fill in, it's as if no matter how positive and perky I seem to be. I feel like I am not able to stay self positive so to say. I get anxiety about what other's might think of me and then comes the doubt and negativity. What has helped me with this problem through the years wasn't therapy, in fact, therapy rarely helps. In fact I've had a couple therapists who seemed as if they needed therapy! Lol But, I did grow up in a small town where church was the main event of the week. I know, blah blah blah churchy people. BUT it instilled in me a curiosity and passion for reading AND the bible has helped me more than any friend, parent, or therapist for sure in regards to loving who you are. Anyway just thought I'd put that out there. I know it's a hard concept for some, but if you want peace within your soul...

I always have been someone to go against the normal. I have hated myself for decades but got bored with it. When you start thinking I hate myself think of someone .....( like the British PM or il Duce of America) and think thank you , thank you, thank you for being them. You are a survivor and so you good give yourself a great big medal and think hey I am worthy of me thinking I am okay.
