How does one get over hating themselves? I've been tense my whole life. Since I was a little kid I've hated myself deep down. How do I feel okay?
Your brain gets better when you get a little older bud. Just try to stick it out for now. Do nice things for people. Try to be a stoic. Be generous. You'll grow up right. People who "love themselves" are not going to better themselves. You will. Be proud of that fact. When you get a little older though you'll start to feel more confident and less hateful. But you should always be hard on yourself in order to better yourself. Be tough. You're already ok.
I am 21 and this is interfering with my life.
I am just uncomfortable feeling anything in myself. Like I'm numb to emotional feeling and physical sensation as well. Except I'm physically tense.
Smoke some weed and chill out. Go out with some friends for drinks. Or, more importantly, learn how to enjoy being with yourself. Read, study, or teach yourself something new.

Not OP but how long is that going to take? I'm already 30 and every year I actually hate myself more.

What have you been doing to better yourself over the years?

The trick is basically to stop being a perfectionist.
With that said I have no idea how to do that, I think of offing myself everyday because of how much I hate myself.

Eating healthier, exercising, keep going to my therapist, keep taking the pills, trying to remain positive despite things not getting better at all. Those kind of things.
I'm 26 and have hated myself for years... Will it get better?
