It ' s ok . I went and looked at my post and you were extolling Sugarpill there too ! At least I know it ' s genuine lol <| sep |> Stop hating yourself . Why would someone else do that if you can ' t even do it yourself ? The only thing you ' ve got some sort of control over in this life is the way YOU view and approach things , and if people mirror what they see in others it ' s about time you start caring about yourself . It isn ' t a magic finger snap solution to all of your perceived problems , but it ' s a start and the only start you ' ll get . Source someone who hated herself . Bullied from the age of 6 until 18 because I was ' different ', but always tried to fit in . One day I just decided to stop caring about what others thought of me , and started thinking about what I would want to think about myself . Doing this was the best decision ever . In 10 years from then until today that brought me from being an overweight depressed single girl in a job way below my excitement levels to being married for 6 years now to the most amazing man for me , close to finishing a PhD and having a healthy weight and a love for running . It ' s still not always easy to love myself , but you ' ve got to make an effort , otherwise , you ' re wasting your life . Come on , start caring !
