Do you hate yourself? - Progressive Rock Music Forum

What?

Well I admit to being a narcissist and sometimes hating myself. They go together. I've been that way all my life and most of the time I've turned myself into a reasonable human being but it's always lying there waiting.

I think most people have at least a little of this in them though. It seems likes it's almost part of the human condition. Or maybe I've been hanging around places like this too long.

You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

Probably.

Most of all, I hate my indecisiveness.

Some years ago I embarked on a journey of self discovery. When I got to the end of my journey I wasn't there, and I've never forgiven myself for that.

'Like so many of you
I've got my doubts about how much to contribute
to the already rich among us...'

Robert Wyatt, Gloria Gloom

Nah. I'm very forgiving.

Finally, a thread made for me
a resounding yes from my camp

The word you are looking for is SINCE not BEING THAT! ARGH!

OK, apologies for undermining your sincerity but you create the persona by what you choose to reveal about yourself in your posts. (and no-one blames the composer when a pianist hits a 'bum' note)

BTW you flatter yourself (the buds of self-love/recovery ?)

I think a little bit of self-loathing never did anyone any harm (We Scots are praying they make it an Olympic event) as long as its kept within bounds where an individual still continues to function and interact with others blah yakkity ditto etc.

You are clearly eloquent, intelligent and funny but suffer from a surfeit of that post-modern malaise that Sartre (a wise old speccy French critter) neatly expressed thus:

- Like all dreamers, I mistook disenchantment for truth -

Are you...trying to talk me down off a ledge? ;-)

Only so you can enjoy the view from a higher one
