Learn to love myself for who I am

Although this may be a very hard struggle with myself, I believe it’s going to be honestly worth it in the end!!! Keep your head up!

i’ve always hated myself, i want to love myself one day.

^{I’m actully learning to love myself for who I am, I’m just too insecure. I’m always thinking about what people might think about me. Physically talking I’m getting better, a lot, this year I quit University for one semester so my doctor recommended me to do excersice, specially pilates and yoga. I went to a gym and did pilates 3 times a week and some other excersices and I lost weight. That makes me feel more secure about myself, besides pilates really helps to relax and to connect your body with your mind. Eventhough I have a lot of unusual imperfections, I’m coping with it. And psychologically I’m still struggling (I’ve been diagnosed with Bipolar disorder and spent 2 weeks on “rehab”) I still have my crisises and I’m afraid of having new relationships, because I know I’m hard to be with. I have hope, things will get better, it’s a long and painful road, but everybody can do it, let’s go on walking this road. You can do it!}

I start doing good, then someone shoots me back down, so i motivate myself back up, and then they shoot me down… Don’t You Just Love Life :)) :(

It took me suuuch a long time to learn how to do this. I had a previous 43 things account (long story don’t ask) and this goal was the only thing I had reminded to me every couple of days.

Learning to love yourself is very hard, because you just have to accept things the way you are and the fact that some things CAN’T be changed, but also realize there are a lot of things in your life that you CAN change.

For me, the most important part of learning to love myself was having people around me to support me. Unfortunately, I know that isn’t possible for everyone. For most of my life I was alone, so I know it’s very hard to be comfortable with yourself when you feel so alone. But, if you’re strong, and you just try, people will see what a great person you are and want to be your friend.

Everyone around me has always told me that I shouldn’t need other people to make me feel good about myself, and these days, I don’t… but it is necessary at first, in my opinion.

Don’t have a whole lot to say about this I guess. I’m 18 and I’m just learning to like who I am… so, you just have to be strong!!

I don’t know why this is so hard. I don’t know why I can’t accept myself for who I am. There’s nothing wrong with me-I don’t think anyway, although others might disagree. ;) I’m a fairly nice person, I don’t steal from anyone, I don’t think I’ve ever been mean or horrible to anyone, and I feel that, all in all, I’m an interesting person to know. I have no issues making friends, I’m not self centered or stuck up, and I like helping people. But, somewhere, deep inside, I can’t shake the feeling that I’m not good enough. I cannot accept myself. I always feel guilty for things, even things I didn’t do. I feel like it must all be my fault…somehow. I hate feeling this way. I wonder if there will ever be a time that I’ll just fully accept that I am who I am and I cannot change myself. I just want to look in the mirror and think “yeah, this is who I am and I like it.” It’s a struggle, especially when I feel like people around me are creating an image of me that isn’t true. It’s horrible. This is a hard one.
