Interesting thread!

I am okay with who I am. Of course if I could I would change many things about myself, but there are some things I really like about myself too.

So in the end I guess I'm content with myself, but I'm not full of myself in the slightest.

Not really. I see myself as a failure. I'm not really especially talented and I can't get a job. Plus I'm not really likable or memorable? I don't have any friends irl and I'm sure people online tolerate me at most so no, I don't like myself.

I've asked myself this question before. Personally I don't really like myself as a person most of the time. I still have literally accomplished nothing and when I tell people that, they say I'm still young and will figure out who I am or what I'd like to do eventually. My grandparents are questioning if I'm ever going to get a job or start school full time. I'd love a job just to get things rolling because I'm tired of my current living situation. Unfortunately I still need to work on a lot if I truly want to change my life. There's a select few (or even less) who really understand what I'm going through and I'm very thankful for them being there for me. If I'm likable as a human being, I really just don't see it most of the time myself.

Im too hard on myself, harder on myself than anyone else. I drive myself crazy sometimes, setting the bar too high. However, athletically, Im not hard on myself at all. Then my dad gets hard on me and I get super stressed because I just put too much pressure on myself.

So am I happy with myself? I dont think I will ever like me. I do have moments where I am proud of myself, but then I consider those moments "easy" and expect myself to preform that way all of the time. I just can't accept a compliment because I know i could have done better or I didnt do something 100% right.

I generally do. Sometimes I wish I could be more social, sometimes I wish I had better focus, sometimes I wish I was willing to be more open about myself. But overall, I don't think I'm too bad.

It depends on my mood. Most times, I can really enjoy being myself. Very seldom have I hated myself lately. In most cases, I've just learned to accept myself as I am, but there are some things I wish I could change though.

A couple years back, I might've been uncertain about answering this question. I've come such a long way from then, and I think I'm at a point where I do like who I am. And it seems recently a lot of people seem to like me as well. Even though I often don't understand how, or why, I think I'm a pretty cool person.

yeah, actually. I think I'm funny and kind and interesting, kind of. not to boast or anything. that sounds boastful. I'm reasonably okay with my physical self, so that's good by me. I'm happy with myself right now, which is a godsend, because I'm not necessarily thrilled with my environment, kinda.

Not especially.

Though I've always been like that, doesn't matter what good qualities I have, those tend to get drowned out by me obsessing over any and all perceived bad qualities. Which then leads me to worrying about things and how others might see me, and then I run the chance of getting my self esteem down even further again. Argh.

Although to be fair, I'm a lot better about it now than when I was younger. At least I don't hate how I look anymore, for example.

No. I dislike just about everything about myself. There's one or two things that might be salvageable, but for the most part I need to change.

Don't know really! I both love and hate different parts about myself but I guess I'm content with who I am?

I'm happy that I got to overcome a lot of obstacles in life and also passed the entrance exam into one of the best schools of the state. I like my personality somewhat and I love the hobbies I have so I guess that's something to be proud of?

At the same time though, I wish I did have better physical and mental health. I do feel like I also need to get my 8 year old fine motor skills, the amount of time I spend on assignments and other stuff sorted. Despite that I'm still pretty content and happy with myself for the most part though. 8)

...Absolutely not. I literally hate myself more than anyone else on this planet. Yeah, sorry it came out this way, that's the truth.
