Screw Loose 156 February 2, 2015 Author Share February 2, 2015 I guess I'd pick hating myself, then; if everypony hated me, then I wouldn't really have anypony to want to live on for, huh? =/ I already hate myself, pretty much, but hating myself just encourages me to improve as a person (even if I can still hate the end product), so I can do better for those I love. Plus, if everypony hated me, then I couldn't do much to make friends with them or make other ponies happy aside from ending it all, right? =/ If you truly loved yourself, you wouldn't need to have anybody to live on for, you would just want to live on because you love yourself, right? And if you truly hated yourself, there is nothing you can do to improve yourself as a person, because you will always hate yourself and nothing you do will ever be good enough for yourself, other people might love you, but you will still truly hate yourself.

mars 4,862 February 2, 2015 Share February 2, 2015 Goodness, what a hard question... Agreed. I just finally stopped hating myself, too...I think, though, I'd prefer to hate myself once more and have everyone love me. I would feel horrible being hated by the people who I know and love. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormdustPony 471 February 2, 2015 Share February 2, 2015 Love myself of course. More people already hate me than like me. Im used to it, seems like my whole life. Just within the past few years I have really learned to love myself but that only happened because i had some good friends.. You have to love yourself before others can love you. The only thing that compairs to loving yourself is Loving and Being loved by someone else (faimly your born into doesnt count. that is a different kind of love.)

Brock Obama 298 February 2, 2015 Share February 2, 2015 That's a tough choice. But I Already hate myself. But most people like me. But that doesn't change the fact that I don't to highly of myself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin_Case001 4,889 February 2, 2015 Share February 2, 2015 (edited) That's a really, really hard question. I've dealt with self-hatred loads in my life. I often still hate myself. But I've always had parents that love me, at least. So, I guess I'll go with the opposite, love myself, hated by others. Might as well just see what that would be like, I guess. I can't imagine what that would feel like though. I'm so succeptible to what others think of me, anyway. If I'm hated by others, it just makes me hate myself even more. So I can't imagine still loving myself. I suppose, though, that the "right" answer is love yourself, because we should all strive to be content with ourselves and not care what others think. But that's so much easier said than done. And of course this is an extreme case, where you wouldn't even have a family that loves you, so that's tough. Idk.

Snow Frostflame 3,568 February 2, 2015 Share February 2, 2015 I don't care what others think about me, but there is only so much hatred I can take and I know I'd live a much longer and happier life if everyone loved me..... even if I hate myself.....

Redstreak 45 February 2, 2015 Share February 2, 2015 I think the easier thing would be hate myself and be loved by everyone else. At least then I could have somewhat of a productive life and do things with people even if begrudgingly because of my newly found self-esteem issues. Even if I loved myself, if everyone hated and avoided me like the plague, it's gonna make for a pretty crappy existence anyway. I'd rather not be a loner.

TubeSock2018 325 February 2, 2015 Share February 2, 2015 Love myself. Sure it'll suck, but I'll never feel bad because if I love myself, I'd probably think everyone else could go suck a lemon. Now, if I hate myself, all the love in the world wouldn't stop my world from being any less bleak. Have you noticed how even famous people, adored by many, can still commit suicide? All the love in the world means nothing if you don't love yourself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cimarronboy 248 February 2, 2015 Share February 2, 2015 I'm too kind plus with my anger problems.....It'd be safest for everyone to hate me while I love myself. I kinda already hate myself and I wish everyone else would. My big heartedness kinda gets in my way a lot since I'm dealing more with other people's problems than my own and I definitely am suffering (mentally emotionally) from all the hate and pain going on around me. If I loved myself and everyone hated me I'd be able to deal with my own issues without having to worry about all the suffering from others as well as not have to worry about hurting others in any way since I'd have all the space I need to deal with my own problems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KatonRyu 1,033 February 2, 2015 Share February 2, 2015 The problem with self-hate is that, well, you hate yourself, so whatever other people think of you tends to be ignored because you're too busy hating yourself. Hatred is very powerful and self-hatred even more so. Personally, I'd prefer to love myself and be hated by everyone else. I've never desired to be popular or even fit in, so I could probably live with that. Considering a period in my life where dated the most unpopular person in school and just about everyone turned against me, I can quite safely say that I still prefer that over self-hatred.

StormdustPony 471 February 2, 2015 Share February 2, 2015 Think about this tho. Even if everyone else loved you, if you hated yourself. You would be too blind to see the love everyone shows you. Hating yourself would be... well.. pointless. I've never desired to be popular or even fit in, so I could probably live with that. Everyone, even if they dont realize it has a desire, an urge to fit in. We are social beings. Signature by ME Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a long time, I didn't fit in anywhere and honestly being alone doesn't bother me at all. These days I don't have that problem anymore and I agree it feels better to have a place but I don't require it to be happy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SparklingSquirrels 21,341 February 2, 2015 Share February 2, 2015 I already hate myself, so I would choose to hate myself and have everyone else love me. Wolfie is the only person who actually cares about me, so it'd be great if I could have other people care about me as well. ֍֎֍֎ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotoriousSMALL 1,984 February 2, 2015 Share February 2, 2015 The former. While I do go by "don't care about what people think of you", it would be annoying to have everyone hate you. No friends, no one would want to help you or do favors for you, you'd never find love, having your boss hate you and your co-workers would suck. It's really nice to have people on your side.

Discordian 6,015 February 2, 2015 Share February 2, 2015 What about total indifference either way? Cuz that's about how I am. I don't really care about myself in the slightest and care even less whether people like me. But if I had to pick one I'd choose to love myself. Who cares what anyone else thinks? You're hot stuff.

Winterbass 763 February 2, 2015 Share February 2, 2015 I'd rather love myself and be hated by all others. Nothing is more choking and depressing than constantly hating yourself while all others act like they don't care or can't see it. I'm fine if people dislike me, but I could never continue living on if I ever hated myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gernia 691 February 2, 2015 Share February 2, 2015 I prefer to hate my self with everyone else loving me. Having other people care about me would be a wonderful situation. And maybe it might rub off on me and change me into a more positive person.

Steel Accord 6,660 February 2, 2015 Share February 2, 2015 Love myself but be hated by everyone. It is a feeling I have experienced before. It is hate of all and hate of self in conjunction that is the truest definition of Hell. If you have love of yourself, truly, then even all the world's bile and lashes cannot harm you. 1 My ponysona: http://mlpforums.com/page/roleplay-characters/_/steel-accord-r1970 My AMA thread: http://mlpforums.com/topic/76698-as-steel-me-andor-oc/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unikitty 1,212 February 2, 2015 Share February 2, 2015 To what extent do these conditions apply? If I choose to love myself but be hated by everyone else, is this effective literally? Will I not be able to order a meal without the cook spitting in it or the cashier unfairly overcharging me? Will I lose my job and then always fail at getting another because my potential employer can't stand to have me on the team? Will I not even have the ability to talk to people online, because they'll always be inclined to hate me? Would my parents, family, and friends disown me?If so, it seems like it'd hardly leave me able to be happy. Even though if under this circumstance it can be assumed I would still always be happy.
