A question i want to ask, gently, with loving curiosity: if you’ve ever hated yourself… why?
(this is not an attack, i promise. i’m looking to understand. i will block anyone who is mean to anyone else in the replies)

hurt people i didn’t want to hurt
didn’t feel like i was living up to my potential
blamed myself for other people abandoning me, assumed it meant i was broken or defective in some way
maybe more accurate to say: felt overwhelming guilt about hurting people i didn’t want to hurt, felt overwhelming shame about not living up to my potential, and then i think feeling broken is kinda its own feeling

at times i have felt not-human, as if the process that was supposed to make a human out of me fucked up and made something not quite
