Self-Hatred & Anxiety

The reason we may feel more anxious than we should lies in an unusual place: Self-hatred. If we think of ourselves as 'bad', then surely bad things must happen to bad people. One of the ways of calming down is to learn to unpack the origins of our self-suspicion and lay the ground for a more self-loving and compassionate future.

"The temptation, with dealing with anxiety, is always and invariably to focus on the ostensible cause of our worry: the journey to the airport, the forthcoming speech, the letter one is waiting for, the presentation one has to hand in… But if we proceed more psychologically, we might begin in a different place. With great kindness and no disrespect, we may step past the objective content of anxiety and look instead at something else: how the anxious person feels about themselves…"

    I started introspecting what cud be my cause since my anxiety started in teen. So I understood a lot had to do w my family, their negative and encouraging words and to top that bad company. Some ppl have atleast someone to help them change wen u show destructive pattern i din have any, so I had to learn the tough way and eventually rediscovered wat hobby i liked and slowly started (very difficult) saying positive things to myself though i couldn't believe a word but i eventually started taking care of wat i eat and had a routine for skin care. This might sound silly but it helped. I was ignorant of how i carried myself nd did not take care if myself coz i felt i was not important. Once i started caring there's so much positivity, i also started meditation tho very difficult at first. That too helped. I started dancing coz i like not coz im good. Simple things make me happy and lot of other major changes. I have bad days but i remind myself all that i have overcome and achieved. Little things, one by one.

    thank you. I used to be so jealous of people who were naturally extroverted because they seemed more comfortable with themselves, had an easier time making friends, and so on. But being comfortable with yourself doesn't mean that you have to be a certain way at all. It's about accepting yourself for the way you are, knowing that you are worthy and deserving of love, and if that means that you want to grow and change then that is wonderful too, but it should be for yourself. I also feel like there are stigmas around quieter people, or introverts. I remember a few times when people would make fun of me for being reserved when I was younger, or just be mean. And of course this just made it worse, made me feel like there was something wrong with me and that I should hide even more. But now I see that those people might have been dealing with their own insecurities, their own desperation to feel accepted and liked. And if that meant picking on other people, then they would do it because it gained them validation. People like that were also probably very insecure, and took it out on other people like I notice some people do. I honestly sometimes feel really bad for people like that, because they may have been taught to believe that that is normal growing up, not been shown love. I hope that everyone, including myself can love themselves more. It is not easy, but not impossible. And you can try to help others to love themselves by telling them kind words, letting that be the thing that grows and blossoms in their mind instead of negative thoughts, and anxiety. I wish that those kind things were said to me by my parent when I was a kid, because it's hard now to think that I _don't_ deserve terrible things said and done to me, and I am trying to learn to be aware that I _do_ deserve and am worthy unconditional love. -So sorry for ranting,- it all just came out lol:) anyways be kind to others, and most importantly be kind to yourself.

    God is the source of true life. Our life is from God. We can find life to God, real life not just life without life. The reason why we live of full of darkness here in earth becausw satan came in and eve and adam disobey God but God give His one and only Son to save and get us from the hands of satan, and its demons. God already won the battle against the enemy because of the cross, He defeated the curse, payment because of our sins. Instead we are the ones who will pay it, He already pay it in His blood. He washes our sins and freed us from anything but we have a choice if we are going to accept it and His salvation that He gave to us. He already knocking to you if you read this, invite Him to your life, heart and mind. Read His truth which is the Word in the bible. You will know the truth behind those lies from demons and satan. God will be coming againt to His second coming to get His sons and daughters, He will end this fully, this battle against the enemy but since we already get the victory and there is a promise we still to fight everyday with God, with Jesus. And in Jesus name, there is power. He is powerful and at the same time kind and loving God. He will frogive your sins if you ask for forgiveness. God loves you,, everyone of us

    There's probably something that caused it, for a long time I overlooked the bullying that happened to me, and the easily-frustrated angry nature of some adults that made me indirectly feel like a burden. Anyway, I want to say that the pain and shame of hating ourselves is a very real feeling and experience, but the belief is an illusion, no matter how ingrained in our subconscious it is, whenever it pops up (and I realised recently that it pops up daily for me, i'll shame myself if I do as little as be indecisive) respond with love to yourself, the instinct is to shame and confirm that we are indeed unworthy, catch that thought and correct it with a compassionate response, as if speaking to someone else, i hope we all heal in time

    Aman Haris this is EXACLTY how i feel! It is like feeling that you are unworthy of others' affection. Thinking about this in my situation, i feel in a way that this still hits to a problem of self esteem/appreciation because, when it comes to comparing myself to other people, i feel like i'm not as "good" or "worthy" as them.

    "I wouldn't say I hate myself but when faced with other people, responsibilities and expectations, I constantly think I'm not able/skilled enough to do it and that other people will be disappointed and angry." I 100% resonate with this. I thought that by developing social skills, becoming charismatic and having a nonchalant attitude would help, but no, it was just a façade to cover up my internal insecurities of not being good enough. It succeeded in self-deception but now the mask is fracturing bit by bit. It doesn't help that your parents and your younger sister are extremely skilled and successful and you're struggling to stay afloat. Now that I'm aware of this issue, I need to find the baby steps needed to combat it. It's not healthy and it can cause bouts of envy, inaction and self-victimising, facets of my ugly side that I don't want anybody to see.

    Social anxiety controls my whole life, and it has for a very long time. I’m only 19 but I can’t help but feel like I’ve failed at life already and that I will never go anywhere or be anything more than what I already am. Where I was a few years ago seems so much lower than where I am now yet it still feels exactly the same or even better because the more time goes by the more guilty I feel that I’m standing still and never moving forward. I feel so guilty that my family has to put up with me, mostly because they don’t know how I feel and I’m scared they think all the negative things I think about myself because of how I act. I can’t imagine ever being happy because I can’t imagine ever liking myself or not being terrified of things that should be simple. I know its not all true because I know my family and my one friend really love me. I’m so lucky to have my best friend because she lifts me up everyday but still I feel like a burden to her as well as my family. I don’t know if anyone will even read this but I hope one day I’ll come back here and be able to say I did it. I got a job, I found a passion, I talked to people and made friends, I stopped pushing everyone away, I started enjoying life, I started to like myself. I hope that I can prove myself wrong in every negative thing that I believe and I hope that when I come back and share what happened after today someone who feels the same way that I do now, completely hopeless and hating themselves more for it, will get some hope that it will get better and that they can be happy.

I felt unworthy and if it did happen I was just lucky and it was a matter of time until that happy period ends. I notice I get scared when I catch myself being happy or proud of myself. I realized that instead of me being sad and hating myself why don't I confront these issues and actively go against them like affirmations that I love myself or worthy or I forgive myself. My self hatred makes fun of me for telling myself "delusions" but my hateful thoughts are delusions themselves. So why don't I get to pick the delusions I tell myself and believe in my own worth.

    When about 14, was doing my homework in the afternoon across the dining room table from Dad. I looked up from writing to see him glaring at me with an expression of hate or disgust and said to me 3 words only: "Christ you're ugly". Out of the blue for no reason, completely out of character, as if he'd just found out I wasn't his own kid or something. I didn't know what to say or do so just froze and kept doing my homework. Never told Mum, only told my closest sister after he died. Pretty sure she didn't believe me at the time. Just makes me join a few dots between much lesser behaviour on his behalf that points to him resenting or hating me all along. When I'm in top gear of self hating, I always end up with that memory foremost in my mind.

HE LOVES US AND DIED FOR US IN THE CROSS. The enemy just want to destroy what God wants to give and He already give to us. Demons and satan has a plan and wants to destroy our life, family, health and wealth and that starts satan came in on the Garden of eden when he tempted the 1st person God made which is eve and adam so they get tempted by satan abd the sin came in and still comes in today but Jesus died for us because God the Father give Jesus for us to save and get us back to God, God loves us. He wants us to live but according to God's will and that is for our good. He will coming back again not to crucified but to get His sons and daughters whom obey Him and really love Him. God will finish and already won the battle against satan and darkness. There is a promise to all of us wit God in the heaven but there will be also consequence to those people who did not choose and Him and instead living the life that they want to live. God loves you that is why if you read this, not just you but to everyone; accept Christ as your God and savior and father and obey His word and live for HIM, you will be saved and not going to hell. Hell is real and so as heaven and God and satan. The battle is in the spiritual realm. Mental sickness is spiritual attack from demons and satan. Satan is the father of lies.

    From a Lacanian point of view, anxiety comes from not knowing if one is what the Big Other expects us to be, I.e. we are not fulfilling the expectation we have that other people expect from us. In other words, we don't feel like we are good enough, but we don't even know good in what or for what and who expects what from us. And not knowing that is very frighteningly vague. Which takes us to hate ourselves for no clear reasons

We can’t tell what is logical or illogical to dislike so a good change may be difficult to see without help of course.

    2 years ago I used to have a very distorted image of myself. I had low self esteem and the unwanted negative attention I used to get from some people in my school really made it worse. I was so insecure, that even going to school became a burden. I was judged and felt so lonely. Time passed, and I have a better image of myself. I’m finally comfortable with the way I look and I’m really confident in my actions now…and in the end..I only grew tougher. It was a very fragile period of my life, and the bullying I’ve experienced made it even harder for me. I fortunately had the right people by my side to help me get out of this pool of sadness and show me that life is more than that. No one deserves to go through this.

    The worst part is I’m always aware of the irrationality behind my own self-hatred. I would never judge nor hate anyone who looked/behaved/thought/and felt like me, but because it’s ME… I hate it. I’m also aware that the amount of shame I hold is simply because I have the desire to be loved, which is a perfectly normal human need. But I just! can’t! shake! this! feeling! Anxiety, shame, doubt, and low self-esteem completely dictate my everyday life and it is soooooo exhausting.

    Anxiety is something that I used to deal with heavily for many years, and like the video describes, it was due to self-hatred. Once I began appreciating myself and changing that inner monologue to one of positivity, the anxiety slowly began to disappear. Now anxiety is truly a rare occurrence, and when it does come up, it goes away very quickly. No lingering like in the past.

But on the other hand, it’s so heartbreaking to think just how many people walk through life not feeling like they deserve to be for themselves. Imagine the countless grey faces you walk by on a daily basis. How many of them also can’t walk to school/work/whatever else without their negative thoughts swarming their headspace? How many of them are so used to it that they feel like they deserve that constant “I’m keeping you in check so you don’t prove to others that you’re the failure you are.” Etc. etc.

    This was literally me for a few years, until two years ago, when I was able to get over some things and heal. I suffered from low self esteem most of my life. Looking back, I realized that I had many irrational fears. I wish I had known back then that I was perfectly OK :) One of the positive outcomes of going through so much pain and then healing was that I now care way less about what people might think of me, because you realize that people are not worth your pain. One of the ways that I healed my anxiety was actually taking care of myself and nourishing myself better.
