What do you hate about yourself?

aaaaa, this thread hurts my heart. i don't necessarily hate anything about myself, but i suppose talking about your insecurities is a good way to vent.. rant incoming.

i've become.. very insecure of my fat body. i've been insecure about my body for as long as i can remember, but i'm actively trying to love it and become more self-accepting. i don't see fat as a bad word, rather just a descriptor, so i have no problem calling myself fat, because, well, that's what i am. and i've always always always been conscious about the fact that i've never had a boyfriend for 21 years of my life. this year, i got together with my first boyfriend in january, things were really nice for a while, until a talk we had in april where he told me to my face that he liked everything about me, except for my body. because i finally thought i'd found someone who likes me for everything that i am, and wellllllllllllllllllll guess not :))))

suffice to say, i broke up with him during the summer. because i wasn't about to put myself through something like that when i've worked so hard to not hate the way i am. because i don't want the mentality i had in middle school where i absolutely hated my body.

his comment still has my self-esteem messed up. i've been eating healthier (because i've been feeling mentally crappy lately, i'm not doing it for anyone else) and saying good things to myself. so i've gotten better, but that insecurity still lingers. every day. and it hurts.
 
I wish I could care a little bit less about my education. I'm doing my homework thinking "gotta turn this in on time and get an A." Other people turn stuff in a week late or it looks like they were half asleep when they did it.
 
I wish I didn't have dyscalculia, I wish that my teeth weren't as crooked (though I am extremely lucky to have good teeth as a Briton), I wish I was able to socialise a little more, and I wish that I wasn't so obsessive-compulsive about everything I do and say. I act as if everything I say is gonna be engraved into a stone tablet somewhere.

Oh my gosh ;-; please don't let what he said bother you! I'm so glad you've been able to boost your own self esteem, I had similar issues in middle school and actually got very underweight and unhealthy ( Being skinny ain't worth it, I felt like **** ) This thread is actually getting hard to read, aaahhh I shoould stop.
 
not trying to be overly edgy or whatever but honestly most things

atm i'm mostly hating my personality, looks, mental illnesses, n what i do / dont do. alsomy social issues n how much i suck at talking to people lollll
 
My anxiety is a massive one. I get so fed up of it. I hardly go out with anybody anymore, I'm not a naturally sociable person anyway (which is something else I really dislike about myself). I've always wanted to be more of an extrovert. I used to have so much confidence, which was needed when teaching high school kids who wouldn't think twice about swearing at you or lamping you.
Since becoming unwell my anxiety has just rocketed. My self esteem has dropped. That's another thing I hate, the fact I'm unwell, although there's nothing I can do to change that.

Also dislike my need to make people happy. It has been taken advantage of in the past. I'm or so bad now as what I was and I won't just be so much of a pushover. Still have a need to not upset people though

Physically, I really hate my legs. Just always have done. I've got such bad exzema on my tops of my arms and on my legs that I just never wear shorts anymore. Some people have got lovely long legs and I'm just there with my stubby legs covered in a rash :(

I don't like my boobs, they're too big compared to the rest of my skinny body.
Same, well I won't complain as long as I don't need bras.

Also yeah idek, sometimes my overly geeky side tend to scare away people.. but I guess that can be good, then you see who is worth your time.

also that i suck at following instructions like.. if someone shows me how to unfold like a large paper box or something i have to re-do it like 5 times before i get it if at all.
 
my real first and middle names. my first because no one can pronounce it and my middle names bc they are after my grans lol
 
- my hair and eye color
- my anxiety when I have to do public speaking
- my mental health in general
- my nose and the moles on my face :T
 
I don't have many friends so when people show me even small bits of kindness I immediately get attached and feel way too close to them to the point where I either scare them off or get so attached they die over and over in my nightmares every night. also, I kinda wish I was more romantic. I have a deep appreciation for romance but as far as being romantic myself I'm sub-par.

Also, this thread is kinda getting me down. I hate to see people beating themselves up. it's good to talk these things out, but please, don't let them take you over. I had depression for years and I don't want to see your insecurities leading any of you down that path. The road of depression never gets better: the only way you'll see the light is if you turn around :)
 
- My looks.
- My voice.
- How I tend to annoy people.
- How I'm pretty sensitive and cry too much.
- Overall everything else because I just hate myself so much. (Too lazy to list anything else.)

I don't understand how this one person can see so much good about me, when I'm none of the things they say. (There's a chance that they may see this, so if you do... I'm sorry.)

*Just turns around from the chemical imbalance in my brain that has nothing to do with insecurities* wow I'm cured
