    That's a sad question and it's heartbreaking that so many people answer it in a negative way. With that said, I honestly don't know how to respond. I think I'm fairly intelligent and have quite a few positive qualities, but there's also a lot of things I wish I could change. I worry that I'm simply not a very likable person though. =/

    Yes, but I wish I was more talkitive. Other than that, I'd say I like myself.

    I do like myself, I learned to love myself after hating myself for so long. I still hate some things about myself, but overall I like who I am. I used to hate my lack of muscle and a manly body, I also hated how I screwed up and everyone was so much more skilled at everything than me. But that has eased, as I realized none of those people have the vivid imagination that I do.

    No, and I can't think of any reason why I should, either; I'm a rather screwed-up human being. I'm going to leave it at that before I start sounding like a big ball of angst.

    Do I like myself?

    That question itself offends me. I am perfection, dammit.


    Well, honestly, it depends on how I'm feeling. Today, I feel great! Other days I want to break the mirror.

    I don't like nor dislike myself. There are however aspects of myself that I dislike. I can get easily distracted and it causes me to lose focus easily for example.

    I don't. Not at all. There are a few things I like about myself, like my intelligence and athleticism, but I hate how I'm really critical, and awkward, and the fact that I blow things way out of proportion. I hate how I feel like I need to be accepted, and when I am accepted, I suddenly feel like I'm not. I feel like people think I'm nice and down-to-earth, but I feel like inside my own mind I'm just... Crazy. I hate how I can't be left alone with my own thoughts, because if I am, I judge myself, I set expectations that are too high for myself, and t's just a downward spiral. I look at other people, like a bunch of the people above me, and I wish that I could like myself like they like themselves, but I just cant. I don't know anything.

    Some parts of me I like, some parts of me I don't.
    If I were asked to name which ones are which, there'd probably be a lot more things I don't like.

    You're pretty awesome though, Yosia. And you're of this species.

    That gives me hope.

    Being completely honest, no, not really. I don't like myself for multiple reasons, none which have anything to do with the people that don't like me. I just feel that if I was a different person, in a different body, I wouldn't like who I was. With that being said, I'm trying my best to change into someone that I do like. It's harder than hard, but actually doing it, is all that matters to me.

    I like some parts of myself, not others. (That seems like a really vague answer but...)

    I can appreciate my strengths but very well know my weaknesses too, and I'm less than happy with some of them. Sometimes I feel pretty confident and my self-esteem is steady, other times it is fairly opposite. Let's just say I'm in the progress of understanding myself- such as my personality, my morals and my values- enough, to critically and more objectively see myself and work towards being better.

    Yes. I would probably be able to be happy as another person, but I am very grateful to be myself.

    Like everyone, I am flawed, but also I believe I am a fundamentally good person. I have some meaning in my life and I am optimistic about my future.

    It's almost certain that the vast majority of my life is ahead of me. It's so important that I like what little personality has yet developed so that it can actually amount to something, rather than letting it all slip away and regretting what I could have done by having confidence in myself.

    Ehh, not really :grin: I really have no idea how you guys put up with me, but thank you for doing so! That said, I will chalk some of my annoyingness up to my undeveloped frontal lobes, and general teen wackiness. :wink:

    However, I've always tried to like myself, as it's not like I'm ever going to be someone else!

    The question sounds rather easy but I am quite conflicted with the answers that I should be giving since it's not really an option. I love myself and at the same time I don't.

    Like mackenziesr, I acknowledge that I have admirable traits and those are things that I like about myself. While that holds true, I also have qualities that I do not like. Some of these qualities are negative things that I still need to work on.

    I would want to say that I like myself but at this point and stage in my life, I still find it too early to tell. I think it would sound as if I was already content with what I already have and am happy with it and although I definitely am, I wish to go beyond that and still improve.

    There is a difference between "Am I happy with who I am?" and "Do I like myself?"
    Am I happy with who I am? Yes, definitely.
    Do I like myself? Nope. I still need to work on some things.

    Not in the slightest. I'd go as far as to say I hate myself :slight_smile: Ah well, life goes on I guess
