The New Year's reflection of myself and others caused me to think of this as a poll, and I hope that, in the spirit of breaking with the past, we can all share and then move forward with our lives into the glorious new day. Personally, I can't imagine not hating myself at least a little bit. But, as I have told you guys before, I am emo and lame. /wrists So PA, are you emo and lame too? And will you make me regret making this thread? ------------- if you own a sodastream i hate you |

It is often the shortest/simplest looking question that are the hardest to answer. Although it is easy for me to say yes to this poll, to say how much exactly is less easy. I am accepted various things a bout how I am and even though most people wouldn't like it I'm ok with it. (Though I suppose that brings up a whole host of other issues, but meh to those). Suppose thats a bit outside of the poll though so I'll shut up.

I wouldn't want to go back in time to beat myself at all! That would hurt, and if it was severe enough I could possibly damage myself beyond repair, thus making anything that I had already considered bad WORSE! And I generally don't hate myself. Edit: I would, however, tell myself where I could change some things to make myself happier. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Salty_Jon" rel="nofollow">

Attempting to disentangle the irony from some of Henry's posts sometimes leaves very little thread remaining. Mr P is clearly neither emo or lame (but an old head on very young shoulders that he needs to learn to shrug occasionally) Again, I'm guessing here but I suspect that the post is designed to reveal any narcissistic element in the replies i.e. would what is perceived as an inter generational cliche (those bloody Y genners, young people these days pah ! etc) have its source revealed if old farts like myself conceded we have a vestige of self-loathing in our makeup that makes such remarks possible ? Or, his skin's broken out again... -------------

Everything between hate and love is mediocrity and indifference. I still haven't come to terms with the idea that somewhere in the world there is someone who doesn't like me, so I haven't the inclination to worry about whether I like me or not.

Because you're not others, you're you, and if you're like me you're more inclined to listen to you than others. Others don't always know what's best for you, but you, with your current experience being you, probably have a pretty good idea of what you want and what you need by now. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Salty_Jon" rel="nofollow">

OK, apologies for undermining your sincerity but you create the persona by what you choose to reveal about yourself in your posts. (and no-one blames the composer when a pianist hits a 'bum' note) BTW you flatter yourself (the buds of self-love/recovery ?) I think a little bit of self-loathing never did anyone any harm (We Scots are praying they make it an Olympic event) as long as its kept within bounds where an individual still continues to function and interact with others blah yakkity ditto etc. You are clearly eloquent, intelligent and funny but suffer from a surfeit of that post-modern malaise that Sartre (a wise old speccy French critter) neatly expressed thus: - Like all dreamers, I mistook disenchantment for truth - -------------

I don't agree with this. There are way too many, "filler" type people that make no contribution to anything for this assumption to be true. Anyway, I don't hate myself. I'm in full control of my functions and do things the way I want to do them. Sometimes I hate some of the things I do, but I don't hate myself.

Finally posting here. Hate? Probably not. I think I'm an OK person. "I" is the operating term here; I kind of wonder if other people think I'm messed up though. The past semester I tried to be extroverted and get along with people but things aren't going too well. There's a bunch of endless questions that go through my head... they usually begin with, "Why can't I....?" Bunches of problems. College sucks a bit now. Future's like a thick fog, and all I'm left to do is wonder why I don't have passion or a drive to be creative as some people I take meager inspiration from. I know I'm going to get stuck in a sh*tty unsatisfying job because I'm too much of an indifferent b*****d who has no self-esteem. Joy. Oh and yeah I probably am narcissistic. I'm tired of feeling weird, confused, lost, lonely, dispassionate, useless, etc. So forgive me if I focus on myself and my interests a lot when I'm feeling so low all the time. Can't really help it. I'm also tired of putting myself out there and being agreeable when I find no kindred souls. ------------- http://soundcloud.com/drewagler" rel="nofollow - My soundcloud.

When you mix some narcissism (as you said) with philosophy, all you end up with is a constant useless analysis of yourself, your surroundings, and how they affect you. It becomes the philosophy of yourself. But if you have narcissist traits, and on top of that you have a mind avid for philosophical knowledge, most likely you'll end up being a universal mind... where the universe consists of several "I" systems...
The best thing to do is what you've done. Try to go out and reach the other world. When you recognize what bothers you, you're halfway there. In time, all your good things will actually start to matter. And you'll be philosophizing without suffering about it....
Anyway, about this thread... If one hates him/herself, there's only two things you can do about it: either you put an end to it by changing what you don't like, or you continue hating yourself until one day you'll put an end to it in another, rather more drastic way....
So, in a word, stop whining...  -------------

Well I admit to being a narcissist and sometimes hating myself. They go together. I've been that way all my life and most of the time I've turned myself into a reasonable human being but it's always lying there waiting.
I think most people have at least a little of this in them though. It seems likes it's almost part of the human condition. Or maybe I've been hanging around places like this too long.
