Reply to comment by Due_Avocado_788 in [Image] You don't hate yourself. You hate NOT being your SELF. by unsizedType11

Why do you like it? I don’t quite understand it, but I want to because it looks cool.

Just my interpretation but imagine your "true self" as the person that you want to be. Maybe you have a goal to do 100 push ups. Your true self would be someone that can do 100 push ups, and currently you aren't that person.

Just a crude way to explain it, for me, I've been a bit miserable for a while, and I blame my job and a lot of other things I have to do every day.. it sort of manifested in minor self-hate... but seeing this reminded me that I'm not the problem. It's that I'm not actually being the person I'm "supposed" to be, aka my true self.

That’s an interesting interpretation. So it’s not that you hate who you are or yourself, but that you’re not acting how you want to. I suppose I agree with that interpretation somewhat. Although it still doesn’t ring for me, I’m happy to hear it resonated with you!
