How I did it: The first thing and perhaps the most important thing you can do is accept the person you are. There is no point changing who you are inside for what other people may want to see in you. The second thing you can do is find those who make you feel worth it and surround yourself with those who value your true self. If you haven't found them yet, give new people a chance-- they have more to offer than you think and if you're both shy, a simple "hi" can go a long way. I don't think I would have ever discovered my value/worth if my best friend hadn't done something when I moved here and I love her so much that her friendship makes my life meaningful. She's so encouraging too, which is a big plus because when I'm falling, I lean on her and she makes me feel like I'm more than I think I am. Through her example, I've learned that I am worth it too. I used to only think that she was worth far more than I am, but she taught me that I was very wrong about that. I'm worth it not only because she thinks so, but because it's true, and I feel like I can do anything because of her influence in my life. Read how I did it… 3 years ago

What do you do when you’re so shallow to the point you hate yourself? your appearance, your personality, the way you are, every little trait about you. When you find yourself constantly looking at other people and wishing you could trade places. “be happy and grateful for what you have” – i wish i could! this is what makes me such a cunt – I should be grateful for what I’ve got. I am in good health & have a whole life ahead of me. I’m selfish & insecure.. faking life since 2010 2 weeks ago
I don’t think I’m terrible. I just don’t think I’m as amazing as everyone else does. I think it must feel nice to think of myself as someone who will do incredible things in this lifetime. I want to feel that way. 1 month ago
I’m sure a whole lot kinder to myself and love myself more than I used to.. But I want to be able to look myself in the mirror and not hate what to see, I want to be able to face myself and be able to list more good things about myself than bad things… 7 months ago
I do love myself. I think I’d rather be me than a lot of people. This has be reiterated to me recently and I find that how I view myself through other people’s eyes is as a lot stronger person that I first assumed I was.
Yeah I do stupid things for stupid reasons but I’m usually honest about them and it’s not the doing it’s the uncovering why I do them that’s important to me and then changing the way I act.
I don’t want to seem over zealous by crossing this one off, and by all means I have days when I hate my body, wake up hating what I’ve done and generally put myself down. I am my own worst critic and in love – ‘I only accept the love I think I deserve’ – which apparently isn’t very much. So until I do accept that this one’s staying up.
Now what is it that I deserve… 7 months ago
I have never really liked myself so this is going to be another challenging goal but I think I can do it. 7 months ago
