Why Do We Want to Hate Ourselves?

We are all human beings, we experience things that may leave a positive mark on our lives or some that will do the exact opposite.

Depending on the matter, it’s down to us on how we want to progress from then on.

You can be the highly influential figure who uses there knowledge to empower others, resulting in one to hold a great amount of self-love only for those to believe that you’re extremely full of yourself.

Perhaps you are part of the percentage who feels they have nothing to offer in life and believe they have themselves to blame for everything that’s dragging them down into the gutter.

This is what we call self-hatred.

Now to the average person, they would not know how to communicate with someone who is deeply negative about themselves so would not have the patience to stick around.

Self-hatred is not some kind of criminal activity but it is an unpleasant feeling and takes a step-by-step approach to overcome.

It’s all a matter of sitting down with that individual and understanding exactly why they feel the way they do.

Once we have bestowed our patience, we must then try to support said person.

But what can plunge a human-being deep down into pessimism?

It can be anything from a traumatic life experience where there is scarily no hope of turning back.

And why would that be?

Possibly we came up short in our lives which wasn’t our fault but we blame ourselves because there was no else to point the finger at.

Do we hate our physical appearances or did someone you know make you hate yourself because they weren’t too proud of themselves so they wanted another to feel their wrath?

An individual who hates themself would tend to occupy their minds with thoughts of taking their own lives, which isn’t the answer.

If you know anybody that is going through anything similar to what was mentioned above, let’s prep up a spot for them next to the fireplace because you don’t know at first what’s running through their minds.

Did they use to be the top guy on the school’s football team who had no choice but to kiss his dreams goodbye after he accidentally broke his ankle during the big game?

Could it be that young girl who felt she wasn’t pretty enough to be the prom Queen so from then on hopes the time will come when she won’t cry herself to sleep?

Even worse, did they have no choice but to watch in despair as both their parents were too wound up in one another’s heated conflict?

No innocent child should ever have to witness such a heartbreaking scene.

And did that child grow up to be the woman with low confidence who applies multiple coats of makeup to hide her scars that were engraved by the cruel worlds vision for what beauty should be?

We must keep a distance from the point of no return.

We should never dream of destroying ourselves nor believe in our own minds that it will make us feel a whole lot better.

We all have our demons, what feeds them are either ghosts from the past or bad moments that still follow us to this day so let’s not embrace them.

Remember one thing, self-hatred to some is a desperate cry for help so we must stand beside the vulnerable, prevent self-harm and make that person feel like they are worth so much more.
