How Do You View Yourself?

[Cwtchseeker]

I’m probably too harsh on myself. I don’t find myself overly attractive, have flaws and imperfections but hey who doesn’t?

I am my own harshest critic. If I get something wrong I blame myself harder than most will.

I also overthink a lot. Sometimes too much.

How do I view myself? In the mirror.

Kind but selfish, smart but naive, independent, cowardly, and creative.

I have a huge problem with how I view myself. At times crippling self hatred, and very low self esteem, and filled with anxiety.
I wish I had some useful advice, but I don’t, it’s a daily struggle. For me what ”works” is therapy and meds. And when I say works, I mean it’s a fucking struggle and some days are better than others.

I wanna like myself so much and I wanna be pretty and funny and cute and sexy. But it’s so fucking hard. I dont like photos of myself and I dont like mirrors.

For what it's worth, you don't come across like that in lit. What comes across like a spotlight is your honesty...like in your post...

Thank you
I always try to be honest, it’s my promise to myself on here.

Equanimous and content.

Wish this wasn't the case, many people no matter how beautiful and amazing they are, are not happy with how they see themselves. I am sure the world looks differently to you, but what matters most is you keeping up the fight. If you ever need to talk, I'm a great listener. Sincerely rooting for you in this fight within yourself.

In certain aspects of my life I'm a massive failure. In others, some would say I'm a success.

So, I guess I would categorize myself as average.

I don't like how I look at all.
I'm too big. Too plain. Too many things that I would magic away if I was able.

I try to be good and kind and empathetic.
I keep an open mind, I'm non judgemental, patient. I want to be a safe place for people because I know how it feels to not have one.

I am curious, love to learn, can be silly or sarcastic - depending on how comfortable I am with someone.

I am awkward though. I don't know how to fit in and I'm not sure I ever have done. I have atrocious mental health struggles and I know that could impact what I think about myself but generally I'm pretty realistic. I know my personality is my best feature but I also know it's not enough to make anyone stay.

That's hard to deal with so I focus on my family, doing the best by my kid, being a good friend. Encouraging and supporting and being someone to depend on.

Is it enough? No. But it's more than a lot of people have so I'm grateful.

I’m intelligent, but in ways it just doesn’t matter anymore. I am shockingly stupid in other ways. I’m not, nor have I ever been, physically attractive in my view so I’ve tried to focus on being funny and kind.

I make selfish decisions sometimes, but I don’t really mean to be that way. I look back at some of the things I’ve done and said and it pains my heart.

I’m getting older and I don’t like it. I used to be almost overly optimistic about everything but it gets just a little tougher every day.
