Many of us are walking around with an enormous secret burden: we deeply hate ourselves. That makes us very suspicious of anyone who likes us - and prone to staying in unfortunate romantic and professional situations that offer us far less than we deserve. We need to learn the art of becoming a better friend to ourselves.

“There is one particularly salient question we should ask in order to measure our levels of emotional well-being: do you broadly feel that you have the right to exist and are, on balance, a good enough human being? Or, whatever your outward circumstances and achievements, do you generally feel you are a piece of excrement, who has only got through life by deluding others (who would quickly abandon you if they knew even a fraction of the truth about you) and, because you are a liar, are only ever one or two steps away from deserved humiliation and catastrophe?...”

"You deserve a prize for not having done away with yourself already," That is the kindest, nicest thing anyone has ever said to me albeit through a computer screen.

I know my parents loved me, but they never ever understood me, and they never tried to. They just tried to fix me

"and therefore being able to hold onto the idea that we hate ourselves only or primarily because we were once not loved." i'm not crying.

I don't hate myself but still somehow I can't come to terms with loving myself

I was a cheery, happy and clever child. . . And then I was sent to school. That was the start of my downward spiral. For context, my only friend in my young teenage years was my cat.

I've suffered from a sickening spiral of self-loathing and anxiety for the last two decades. I often feel unworthy of even incidental kindness. Partners who loved me felt as though I was afraid of intimacy, and partners with whom I stayed were manipulative and inconsiderate. I've mutilated myself repeatedly, hating myself for never piercing the thin veil between self-injury and suicide. Essays like these are insightful observations of someone they've never met (me) but obviously know well enough. On one hand, their wisdom is relief and reassurance that it's okay to accept me, to love me. But on the other, it's worrisome that this problem is so common that they can publish a video in another country that details my very intimate problem, its sources, and give needed counsel without ever having met me. Keep writing, SoL. And thank you.

I’ve recently noticed that I’ll catch my reflection in the screen of my phone, sneer and angle it away... I get angry when I’m complemented and will immediately redirect praise to someone who deserves it ... I feel like an imposter and I absolutely loathe myself.

Thousands of views within 15 minutes of posting means that this resonates with an outrageous number of us. Yikes.

Today I had this realization that I wasn't loved by my parents, I cried my eyes out in the shower all the past experience hit me at once. Seeing this video on my feed is sign to move on, but I still feel pathetic..

The 'you're not exceptionally awful, you've just had an exceptionally unfortunate introduction to life' really hit home. Putting it in my phone as a reminder. Thanks SOL

For the most part, this didn't describe me. But the sentence at 4:30 'Anger requires a sense of self-worth' helped me understand why I'm never angry at others. Thanks.
