Do you hate yourself?

Funny though to see these thread next to the Love Question Poll... seems like progfans are interested on an existential issues and self esteem... right...

I would want you to get bored, Jim..

I'm very self critical, and think there is a lot wrong with me, that I have no control over, but hate is a little strong..

There's a bunch of endless questions that go through my head... they usually begin with, "Why can't I....?" Bunches of problems. College sucks a bit now. Future's like a thick fog, and all I'm left to do is wonder why I don't have passion or a drive to be creative as some people I take meager inspiration from. I know I'm going to get stuck in a sh*tty unsatisfying job because I'm too much of an indifferent b*****d who has no self-esteem. Joy. Oh and yeah I probably am narcissistic. I'm tired of feeling weird, confused, lost, lonely, dispassionate, useless, etc. So forgive me if I focus on myself and my interests a lot when I'm feeling so low all the time. Can't really help it. I'm also tired of putting myself out there and being agreeable when I find no kindred souls.

You should never have stopped being a philosopher.

Well, everybody call me a Egomaniatic, so, how can I hate myself...??? no, even in the bad days -as today- I love me a lot, and I'm thinking to worship myself, maybe I can make a new Religion... like the JAMpaeisth...

I love that quote.

I've never even met myself.

I only hate myself on Mondays, and even then it's not just me, but the largest portion of the bricks tends to fall that way,

Mr P is clearly neither emo or lame (but an old head on very young shoulders that he needs to learn to shrug occasionally) Again, I'm guessing here but I suspect that the post is designed to reveal any narcissistic element in the replies i.e. would what is perceived as an inter generational cliche (those bloody Y genners, young people these days pah ! etc) have its source revealed if old farts like myself conceded we have a vestige of self-loathing in our makeup that makes such remarks possible ? Or, his skin's broken out again...

Hahaha, this is the beautiful thing about having a persona. Everybody gets so wrapped up in it they think you're much cleverer than you actually are. ;-) No, this poll was actually sincere (well, as sincere as I can be) and an attempt to reach out to other lost souls wandering in the darkness of the internet.
