I know people who hate themselves every day and wallow in their misery. A small amount of self-hatred is recommended when you’re in danger of feeling good about yourself, or when there’s a possibility of being happy. Self-hatred can be used to dwell on every niggling question rather than seeing the big picture. Self-hatred can keep you from forming bonds with others, and from preventing relationships. Self-hatred can be great in preventing you from making changes in your life that might actually make you enjoy life.
