I wish I could feel like I'm likeable. both as a friend and romantically. I want to feel it, and I'm really trying, but I just can't do it. I feel bad for feeling this way when I have so many good friends. I just want to like myself but I don't.

      I doubt you aren't, it's just self image issues, everyone has them

        @TheTrueSuperDX thank you. I try to tell myself that but it's extremely difficult and it messes with my mind

      i think i can relate, in spite of having had some great friends. have you tried bringing it up to your friends? sometimes i've had to lay it down explicitly what i want to do for and what i need out of a relationship to feel mutually loved and appreciated. maybe it's the same way for you?

        @SourLemons I think it's just a problem with feeling insufficient. I feel very loved and appreciated by my friends but my own self hatred gets in the way. I don't really know why it happens

          @shwowbow ah... i see. self-hate's a deep and complicated beast. i can't assure any one thing might be a solution but maybe i can recommend some things?
