Poll: do you love... yourself?

[Kroxile]

I'm a narcissist. I love myself and think I'm pretty much perfect

 

[Terminate421]

Caboose will say it for me:

 

[Princess Rose]

Female.

**insert obligatory masturbation joke here**

... which is actually a pretty amusing masturbation joke in and of itself (insert - get it?).

/masturbation humor

OT: Yes, I quite like myself. I'm an awesome person living an awesome life. ^^

 

[natster43]

Male. I am alright I guess. I could lose some weight, try to get a girlfriend, actually hang out with people more often. Though everything else I am pretty much fine with.

 

[Ensiferum]

I love myself but I would never claim to be perfect. There was a time in my life when I had a lot of self-loathing and couldn't stand to even look in the mirror, but I learned the hard way that if you don't love and care about yourself, how can you expect anyone else to do the same? More then that, I'm a christian and believe everyone is made in God's image and that we shouldn't hate ANYONE because of that and because he commanded us to love each other and ourselves. While that's never been easy and I don't at all claim to have succeeded, it's what I strive for.

 

[vaderaider]

If no other people will I might as well.

 

[Durgiun]

Me? That asshole? Fuck no. That douchebag always keeps me up until, like, 3 AM and makes me fat by eating more sweets than he should. What a dick. And the way he never cleans up our room, God almighty, it's infuriating.

And don't get me started on how lazy he is.

 

[Olorune]

I don't like myself at all. At times I really do hate myself, but I think a big part of it is that I don't really know who I am; what kind of person I truly am. Solving the problem is no where near as easy as identifying the problem.

 

[aegix drakan_v1legacy]

so what do you think about this guy/chick in the miror?

My sympathies about it not working out for you, OP.

I personally used to hate myself. Then again, I was a wussy ass nerd whose friends were all at another school, and the school I was at was one of those private-all-male-catholic-high-schools. Since I wasn't a physical guy (and super naive and shy), I got shoved around and mocked by the jocks and cool kids. Then it got to the point where people a year under me were picking on me (and being a pacifist and just generally too nice, I couldn't bring myself to do anything but tell the administration....who pretty much did nothing). So since everyone else seemed to love to hate me, I started to hate myself too.

Plus, I was going through some emotional/personal issues since I was dealing with this weird twisted side to me that had been surfacing, and the overabundance of religious moralizing/prayers/priests-as-religion-teachers/ETC was not helping me make any progress, and was in fact making me feel like I was insane. So add some religious guilt about myself to the pile of self-hate.

...Fortunately, after escaping that hell hole and going to college, I started to come out of my shell, and regain some lost confidence. And start dealing with my inner issues properly (after developing my own "spiritual" identity as agnostic, I was able to see my weird side as just that. Just a weird part of of who I was, not the evil cancerous "soul-tumor" that I was seeing it as in high school)

It's taken 5 years, a job, and getting a girlfriend...but I have finally reached a normal level of self-esteem. I still am not able to take charge in any given situation, and I still lack some confidence in my skills, but I can finally look myself in the mirror and say "You know what, I'm ok. Not better than anyone else, but not any worse for it either. I'm just a nice guy, who loves to slack off."

So...Aside from hating myself once in a while for slacking off when I should be working....I actually think I'm a pretty cool guy, who has fun and doesn't afraid o-*is shot*

It depends on the time frame & the people I am around and on certain successes or failures in the time frame mentioned. That said I'm happy if I'm given a reason to be happy & motivated & sad whenever I come across information or events that disrupts my good mood. Usually when I'm happy, I'm pleased with myself & when I'm not happy I do get sentiments of self rejection. That said I would describe it as a love/hate kind of thing usually influenced by life changing events. I think this kind of thing applies to most of us if not all of us.

 

[Mariena]

I love my female self.

I love my body, I love my intellect, I love my wittiness, I love my hair.
I also love how cool I am, and think that everybody should be like me.

I see girls looking back at me when I walk past them and they're really jealous. They all wish they could be as perfect as me.

 

[Strazdas]

I was going to write that im awful but while writing it i figured out i wasn't that awful after all. Guess im still on the "bad" side. Then again, most people are worse, so at least i have that to go by.

Edit: for experiment: male.

 

[StBishop]

I didn't vote.

I love myself, but I'm not perfect. No one is. But I feel oh-so-much better about myself than "OK" (which to me sounds more like, "yeah not too bad I guess").

I'm male just because you asked.

 

[Chefodeath]

Love myself? What are you high? I'm not even self-aware half the time.

 

[chiMmy]

I like pie!
Ate a lot of pie(both food and desert type) today and yesterday :3

 

[Eadd]

IMPORTENT... you can't spell important

Unless I'm mixing things around, and the OP already edited his post, then I do believe you may have just failed epicly here, my friend.

OT: Meh. I don't hate myself, but I don't know if I LOVE myself. I guess I'm somewhat fond of myself.

OP has edited his post-now making me look silly

 

[Spoonius]

I have many flaws and many strengths.

Flaws are winning at the moment though.

 

[uzo]

I have a superiority complex approaching that of the God Emperor of Man. My personality would be perfectly suited to being an immortal, divinely psychic tyrant.

EDIT: Gender? Whaddaya think? How many girls would even know who the God Emperor of Man is?!

EDIT EDIT: No, it's not a reference to Chuck Norris.

[C117]

What can I say? Although I might not be entirely on good terms with myself, it's something I've gotta live with.
