I think the way we perceive ourselves/feel about ourselves is very important to our overall mental health.
I am a Christian and I know a lot of Christians think you are supposed to "hate" yourself because Jesus said to "deny yourself." He wasn't saying " hate yourself." He was simply saying to think of other's as often as you do yourself..
Anyway, I have a hard time liking myself. I tend to like what I DO or how I perform more than WHO I AM. I am learning to do just that... accept me for who God created me to be and just enjoy being myself.
We put waaay too much pressure on ourselves to be "perfect" In order to be accepted.
It's a shame. I hope some day I have conquered this myself.
