hi, i'm new here...

4 Replies

I am now struggling with self-hatred. I feel that no matter how hard I try, I will never be successful compared to other people. Sometimes I gain confidence in socializing, but whenever I look at myself in the mirror, all I can see is a big failure. The thought of my pathetic self just makes me want to stay away from my relatives, since it will be better if I don't bother them at all. It's easy for me to help and forgive others' mistakes but it will never be the same for mine.

Hi and welcome to a supportive group! We are our own worst critics. Because of this, it is unfortunately very easy for us to want to compare ourselves to others. No one should compare themselves to others. We are all the best versions of ourself.

Welcome to the group. I also suffer from self hatred and low self-esteem. Been like that almost all my life. I am constantly fighting it. Hope you find some relief.
