I suffer from self hating/ body hating and was wondering if anyone knew any tips tricks or ways to overcome it. I worry that it's affecting my relationship but it's hard thinking positively when I hate what I see and everything and everyone (the clues) seem to point to my worst and most negative thoughts being true.
I lol in the mirror and think no wonder he looks at other girls, no wonder he doesn't want to go out on a night/ date with me, no wonder him and pretty much everyone I meet don't seem to have anything nice to say to or about me.

Hi people don't treat you based on how you look but how you act. Others largely take you at your valuation of yourself and if you act ugly then you will get this back. If you act beautiful then people will love you.
It sounds like you have body dysmorphia so you need to see a doctor asap. x
Try to focus on the things you like about yourself, your eyes, hair etc, anything. Something you have done that day or are going to do that is positive and will make you happy or has made you happy, even if Its something small. Its hard when your mind tells you different as negative thoughts are often repeated in patterns. Tell yourself you deserve to be happy. That people can be cruel or situations can go wrong but things like that just make you a stronger person. Also if you are with someone who puts you down and doesn't say good things about you, distance yourself from them because they really are not worth your worry or thoughts.
