  2. Understanding the source of any problem is the first step toward resolving it If you’re dealing with a serious case of self-hatred, it’s a good idea to sit with it and try to figure out where it comes from. You don’t live in a vacuum, so think about what might have triggered these emotions. You’ve probably heard it an infinity of times, but writing may be quite beneficial in this situation. Sit down at the end of the day and mentally stroll over your day. Make a list of things you want to remember about: what you accomplished who you were with during the day how you felt throughout various activities

  3. Examine your negative beliefs When you aren’t in a very good place to journal or contemplate, self-hatred can surface. If this happens to you, consider having an internal dialogue with yourself. If you say to yourself, “I hate myself,” for example, it’s a good idea to ask yourself, “Why?” If the answer is “I look awful in this dress” or “I screwed up that meeting,” challenge that thinking as well. “That’s not true,” you tell yourself. Then consider why I hate myself That this negative thought is incorrect. If the positive side of other things doesn’t win, don’t get discouraged. Simply confronting these negative thoughts reinforces the idea that self-hatred is an emotion, not a fact or unquestionable truth.

  4. Use positive self-talk to motivate yourself When you don’t have compassion for yourself, you’re more likely to hate yourself. If you’re having a good day, consider making a list of all the things you like about yourself. Don’t worry if you can’t think of anything. Love is an extremely powerful emotion that can be difficult to feel toward yourself when you’re down. Try to think of things you appreciate or don’t like about yourself if that makes it simpler. Maybe you always know what to bring to a potluck or take good care of your cat. Keep this list somewhere. You’ll see it daily. Stop, take a breath, and state out loud one of the items on your list when self-hatred ideas arise.

  5. Negative thoughts should be reframed Reframing is a therapy approach for dealing with negative ideas and self-loathing. It’s frequently accomplished by just moving your mind to a different angle. It could entail examining the positive aspects of a poor situation or viewing a problem differently. Reframing is about training your brain to identify and focus on the positive, regardless of how you go about it. Yes, it’s a little adjustment. However, you’re rephrasing an all-or-nothing assertion as a single instance. This makes the negative less overwhelming and long-lasting. After all, making a mistake during a professional presentation is just one example — and it means you’ll be able to improve next time. Try to think of a simple way to reframe “I hate myself” to make it more controllable and specific the next time you feel like expressing it.

  6. Spend time with those who bring you joy Isolation can be a result of self-hatred. You may feel like you don’t really belong with your friends or family. Or you may feel as if no one wants to be around you. While our negative self-talk may lead us to believe that withdrawing from social situations is the best course of action, research has shown that this isn’t the case. Social connection makes us feel better about ourselves. Therefore, connecting with people is an important element of our mental health. It establishes an atmosphere in which we are cherished and cared for. Spending time with our loved ones, whether a friend, family member or partner, is the best method to counteract negative thoughts. Take a walk together, go out for coffee, or see a movie together. Social connection can make you feel energized and appreciated.

  7. Self-compassion is a good thing to practice This may be the most difficult item on the list, but it’s also the most beneficial. Self-compassion is not the same as self-love. Accepting your negative thoughts, faults, and failures as messy human experiences is a big part of it. It entails forgiving yourself in the same way you would forgive a loved one for snapping at you in a rage. Next time you feel yourself spiraling down the self-hatred rabbit hole, cut yourself some slack. Recognize that you’re not feeling well and tell yourself that it’s acceptable.

  8. Seek assistance Keep in mind that you are never alone in your mental health struggles. Everyone has been in your shoes at some point, and most of us need a little help to get by. It’s always a very good idea to go over this list with a trustworthy mental health practitioner and practice the stuff on it. It’s not a sign of weakness to seek assistance. It’s the most effective approach to learning to control your negative self-talk and self-hatred.
