I Hate Myself

If you met me just out of the blue, you would think that I'm one of the happiest guys around. Yes I love to smile and make others smile as well but does that mean that I smile on the inside? The answer is sometimes. I sometimes smile on the inside.

I have very little self-esteem/self-confidence. I hate myself. I often feel like I am worthless, that I don't deserve to live. I don't suffer from depression but I do have symptoms of depression. The doctor said that they were too low for him to diagnose me with depression. But still, I hate myself. But I fight, every day I fight for my happiness. I tell myself that I am worth it and that I am beautiful the way I am.

I am worth it.

I had a heart scare a few months back and I actually made it into the local newspaper! They actually wrote a little bit about my self-esteem.

"We interviewed Alex* yesterday and when asked why he starved himself, he replied by saying, “I don't deserve food. I'm not good enough.” With his blond hair, good looks and out-going personality, one might be surprised by the fact he has such low self-esteem. “I hate myself. I'm fat and ugly. I'm just a failure.”"

*Note that they changed my name for privacy issues.

Aww thanks but I'm ugly as fuck.

In reality, I hate myself. I might not act that way but I do. I hate everything about myself; my height, my weight, my hair colour, my accent, my immature personality, EVERYTHING. But I don't care, I will fight for my happiness. I am beautiful in my own way and I will tell myself this everyday.

I am worth it.
