View Full Version : Self Hate

I guess I'm just one of many but before you say to yourself "not another one.." i'd like to ramble.

My life sucks, everybody hates me, they see me as the outcast, the weird one. I tried cutting in 2006, even self mutilation didnt make me feel better. I'm not thinking about suicide, but i did avbout a year ago. Had the razor to my wrist ready to cut as deep as possible, but i didnt, i didnt because of my family and friends. but i sometimes think about what its like to be dead. Bliss. Infinite sleep. like a short nap that lasts forever. Eternal. And peace.. Sweet Sweet peace.. I just dont want to socialise any more. I've pulled myself from gong out at all. people have stopped rnging me. even my friends say things behind my back. im avoiding them, they got that much right. my supposed best friend adam is sure to turn out gay, but atm he fancies my girlfriend, and in my mind im fighting a war against him, i feel like an ugly something that climbed out of the toilet, a mangled block of stone waiting to be carved, i feel imperfect. I strive for perfection, for people to like me, to be more than normal, to be perfect. but every time i go 1 step forward i fall 2 steps back. everywhere i look i see imperfection. Hair, imperfect, body, imperfect. face, imperfect. personality, imperfect. I fear many things, deep water, arson, being murdered while i sleep to name but a few. everywhere i see imperfection! its either people hate me because im weird or because im smarter than them. i want to sort out my life but i cant, i just cant. when i go to sleep i dream of a perfect life, all the people i hate shoved into the gutter, in my dreams im popular, good looking, althletic, perfect. everything i want to be all in one word. Perfection. sleep is the only place i can escape to. like a tunnel in the bottom of a cave that goes to sunlight, but when i reach the top im pushed back down again, always. I want Eternity. i want perfection.

That sounds a lot like me. I don't know if I can help at all, but if you want to talk PM/IM/email me (see profile).

Those who strive for perfection are doomed to fail. If you have the preconcieved notion of perfection being the goal alreaddy inlodged deep into your cerabellum then there is little else i can say. Look, no one expects you to be perfect, infact most of them will wait for your imperfections so they can use them against you. And trust me on this, if your imperfection is that you know you're not perfect...then they'll get to you every time.

You mentioned that you think the reason some people hate you is because you're smarter than them. I've been having the exact same problem for the last two years. I had to change schools because of it. So many people today in america are unenlightened half-wits who couldn't reason their way out of a paper bag. So first i want to know what you consider intelligence, because intelligence is different from wisdom, but on average i've noticed that they go hand and hand. There are few Philosophers who didn't practice science, and few Scientists who used religion instead of reason.

You also mentioned that you think they hate you because you are "different." What do you mean by that?? Do you mean becasue you see the world differently and think that they should be behaving in ways that would break their ignorent code of proper etiquette, or that you are some spikked haired, pierced, make up covered, uber tight pants wearing emo? because there is a BIG difference there. (sorry if i offended someone with my "emo" comment, but i'm entitled to my opinion.)

Anyway, just know that the world sucks and thats the way it's staying. All we can do is try to be happy with the knowledge that they can never take our reason from us.

"It is preoccupation with possession, more than anything else, that prevents men from living freely and nobly." - Bertrand Russell

Btw,I think "inlightened" is spelled - enlighted.Anyways maybe you should hang-out with people that are older then you.If you have,as 4IJ stated,more wisdom then others people that are older and have been through more often understand because they've acquired the same knowlegde as you.I just wanted to mention that people are popular are often the worst people because they know they're btter then everyone else,I think not being popular but being different keeps you grounded.Gotta run,more later.I hope things get better.

Thanks for that, and I must say, I do hang out with people older than me, in a sense. Most of my friends are online friends, like Dave, for instance. He's 17 and he's like the most awesome person I know. Anyway, thanks for all the comments and sorry I didn't reply sooner, I totally forgot about VT. Thanks again!

People who strive for perfection are setting themselves up for a life of disappointments and failure. Learn to embrace the things you can't change, as hard as that may be. :)

Meh, I don't know what got into me when I started tis thread... sorta spilled m heart out... Thats nice ^^.
Anyway, embrace all the things I can't change? Gosh, it it hard for me to do that. I'm never pleased with myself, with other people maybe, but never with myself. Anyway, I gotta go, thanks for the advice!
