    Hi. I am here to help any way I can.

    First of all, never hate yourself. If it's because you're not your true self, just practice doing what feels right for you. If it's because you have irrational fear that others do not think you are good enough because of how you are, that is a tough situation. But the way to overcome it, is to learn to love yourself while simultaneously consciously coming to the understanding that other people are closed minded, and ignorant. Just because they do not like how you are, doesn't mean you are bad, or wrong. It just means they are less open minded than you. If you love yourself, and move forward in your life, expressing your true nature, it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. When you express yourself honestly, no longer living a lie, you are in harmony with all that is.

    Don't worry, you're fine. Good to meet you, anyway. And self hate is really pointless, as I am sure you know.

    Finding self acceptance I think is difficult because it requires you to come to terms with things about yourself that you can't change, and what if those things aren't acceptable. As long as we hang on to hating ourselves there is hope that we can be the people everyone else wants us to be; the people we feel we should be. It is just a huge burden that no one can carry.

    Is it worth sacrificing your true self to be what other people want you to be? Or is it more worth it to sacrifice who other people want you to be to see what life is like as your true self?

    Only you can decide.
