Think of all your good characteristics.Accept yourself as you are and be kind to yourself.Realize we are all human and we all make mistakes at times,but they can help us learn and grow.

Find out why you hate yourself first then once you know the problem you can work on stopping it Know that there are 7 billion people on earth and not one is perfect so just be yourself and you will go far

The best thing I could emotion is a process called "thought stopping". When you notice you are having a negative thought, do you best to stop it and replace it with a positive one. It is not easy, not at all, but with time it will get easier and soon you will learn to not hate yourself. :)

Find out the truth about what you are, and you will see there is nothing to hate at all. Just forcing yourself to believe something doesn't work, but if you find the truth that holds up to all scrutiny beyond the shadow of a doubt, as truth always does, you are so beautiful inside.

Writing the positives in your journal, go to sleep and wake up telling yourself one compliment, do something you thought you couldn't, etc.

You need to view yourself from a different perspective and know that your actions and your disorders do not define you. People love you and adore you for reasons, it's likely you have a close family member or friend that will always lift you up because they truly care about you. The people that hate you and turn you into something you're not because of their negativity, they don't mean anything in the end. Loving yourself is not guaranteed, is not promised and does not come with haste. You must work for it, like any other good thing that's worth doing. Love yourself. You are beautiful, and unique and worthy.
