Do you ever feel like you despise yourself? You're not good enough that you don't deserve happiness or success? If so, you're not alone.

Many people struggle with self-hate daily. But did you know that this is harmful to your mental health and can lead to other problems?

This article will debate the five main reasons it's important to start showing yourself some love.

Why do we hate ourselves?

There can be many reasons why we start to hate ourselves. 

Maybe we had a tough childhood, where we were constantly put down or made to feel like we were never good enough.

Or maybe we compare ourselves to others too much and think that they are better than us in every way.

Whatever the reason, self-hate will not lead to a happy and fulfilling life, so it's important to start making a change.

Here are five reasons why you should start showing yourself some love:

You Are Hard on Yourself and Constantly Criticize Your Actions – This Can Be Damaging to Your Mental Health

When you're constantly putting yourself down and criticizing your actions, it can toll your mental health. You might start to believe that you're not good enough and never be able to achieve anything.

This can lead to depression, anxiety, and many other mental health problems. So if you want to look after your mental health, it's important to start being more compassionate towards yourself.

Comparison Is the Thief of Joy – You're Always Looking at Others and Wishing You Were More Like Them

Do you always look at other people and wish you were more like them? If so, you're not 

alone. We all do comparisons, but it's important to remember that it's the thief of joy.

When you compare yourself to others, you're only setting yourself up for disappointment. Instead of looking at what other people have, focus on your achievements and what makes you unique.

You Put Yourself Down in Front of Others, Which Makes Them Think Less of You

If you're always putting yourself down in front of others, they will likely start to think less of you. They might not even realize that you're doing it, but it will affect their opinion of you.

So if you want people to think more highly of you, start by showing yourself some love and respect. Believe in your capabilities, and don't be afraid to show off your accomplishments.

You Won't Believe That You Deserve Happiness or Success.

One of the main reasons people hate themselves is that they don't believe they deserve happiness or success. They think they're not good enough and don't deserve to be happy.

But the truth is, everyone deserves to be happy. No matter what you've done in the past, you can always change your future. So start believing in yourself and know that you deserve all life's good things.

You're Too Busy Worrying About What Could Go Wrong Instead of Enjoying Life

Another reason why people hate themselves is that they're too busy worrying about what could go wrong instead of enjoying life. They focus on all the negative possibilities and forget to live in the present.

If you want to start showing yourself some love, it's important to focus on the positive. Enjoy the moment, and don't let your worries control your life.

Conclusion

These are just five of the numerous reasons you should start showing yourself some love. If you hate yourself, it's time to make a change. 

Start being more compassionate and believing that you deserve happiness and success. Life is too short to spend it despising yourself. So show yourself some love today!

All hatred of others is a reflection of self-hatred. All love of others is a reflection of self-love.

I suddenly felt guilty with all that you have just mentioned. I hated myself before that I even think that I'm gonna be a forever loser, but as I have aged I already learned how to love myself. I'd realized that it was indeed a mistake that I hated myself. However for me self-love means growth. Self love begins from within. Accepting our flaws and believing our abilities are indeed a great gesture for self-love. No one can love us the way we love our selves, if we won't love ourselves no one will. Stop hating your self instead start embracing your flaws and shows some love for yourself.

I think at some point I don't love myself when it comes to not giving myself a time to sleep more or rest more, but thinking that I don't deserve success makes me feel its a no for me. I am always thinking of success the problem is the effort and I am lacking of burning desire. I have poor mindset but I love myself and it is ironic lol.

Lol, I get how you feel, Grecy; if you lack burning desire, why don't you try remembering why you want to succeed in the first place? This always helps me get my motivation back.
