I'm a terrible human being, but then so is pretty much everyone else, so it's not really a big deal. I go through periods of self adoration, and periods of self hatred. Maybe I'm just badly adjusted.

Well I fucking love myself. I do things that make me happy, and I tend to like people that make me happy, and love those who go out of their way to do so. And seen as thats basically all I do, so I love myself. I may not be what I consider a 'good' person, but I do love the person that I am.
And FYI I'm male, 19, if that helps you any. A good few years ago I hated myself though if that helps your study/hexperiment.

Girl here.
I used to hate myself because so many other people hated me at school, so I thought they must be onto something and I deserve to be hated, even by myself. Then they all left at about 14 to have 5 kids and start drugs and I realised I wasn't in the wrong so I started to see myself in a better light.
Don't love nor hate myself, I'm just meh. I could be worse and I know I'm a decent person but I have so much stuff wrong with me, people probably wouldn't be near me if they knew.

Eh, I know that in the terms most people would use, I'm far from perfect. I am quite shy and reserved, often introverted when I know there is an extrovert inside me, and when I become extroverted I worry that my ego has suddenly gotten too big.
But ultimately, I believe that everything is always in its perfect state. You can talk about hypothetical situations all you wish, but all that exists is now, and that's all that has ever existed (except in some 4th dimensional sense, but hey that's a different discussion all together..) and thus, to me, the next logical leap is that everything exists in a state of actualised perfection. All the things that go "wrong," all the things that go "right," they all lead to now and who you are in this moment, and if you're happy with where and who you are in this moment, then who's to say that's not perfection of a sort?
So do I love myself? I only love myself as a part of how I love everything and everyone for having their part in this big cosmic game that we are all a part of.
My 2 cents.

Go go comedy answer!
On a serious note, being comfortable with who you are is the most important thing ever. It forms the basis of your relationships and how you view the world as a whole. If you don't like yourself, you don't even want to do well. I think, love might be a strong word for it, but you should feel happy being you, even if you're not too sure on the appearance side of things.
If you're not happy, then what is it you dislike about yourself? Take steps to change things, no one can make you happy but you.

I'm a self hater. I deny every compliment people give me and I can help but think my girlfriend could do so much better than myself
Now I'm not perfect, but I like myself. I think I'm pretty cool. I'm good at a lot of stuff, I'm a fair and nice person and I'm proud over a lot of things I've managed to accomplish. If someone likes me, it raises my esteem for them. That being said, there are still plenty of things I need to work on, and more things I can do for myself. I don't think you can ever be finished with that, or 'done' with developing your personality. People learn and change and grow, and that's the cool part about them.
I'll put it this way. I would never want to be my friend. I'm constantly finding faults with myself XD I also have a weird obsession with thinking I don't deserve to be happy.
First what is love is it like
I'm more of a person that likes himself but doesn't care about his well being

I'm okay with myself. Definitly a few things i could improve on, being more assertive and a bit more out going, but uni has helped with that already. I still often wonder why people like me as a friend though. I'm not sure how I can be pretty happy with myself but be suprised when other people are as well.
Exactly. Why would you waste such perfectly good hate when douchebags are just crawling out of the woodwork?Tommeh Brownleh said:
OT: I don't really hate or love myself in any extreme. I self-improve.
I am very, very hard on myself. But I am also very, very internally arrogant (I make my best effort to not show it unless someone else pisses me off). I know I am not stupid, as for looks... ehh... I think horrific things, but I know I would not act on most of them, so... I don't know. I'm too human to only love or hate myself. I would assume most people are too...
