self loathing
This is a heavy duty question and while I am not right now feeling it, have and will feel it in the future, I think it's part of the human condition, like it or not. It is complex and can't be boiled down to a few simple questions, add a comment if you wish.
I feel self-loathing at times, get through it and grow from it
I hate myself, always, and need someone to see how good I am
I never, ever, hate myself or what I have done
I'm perfect, it's everyone else who is messed up
I often hate myself but no one ever knows that
other: add a comment

 I feel self-loathing at times, and RECENTLY, I am learning to get through it, and so it seems, I am even growing from it.

THAT is a huge victory to me

 What a strange question... I suppose because I think I can say that for most of my life other than occasional particular moments of bad decisions made, I've really never hated myself. I'm ok with me, whether I deserve me or not.

Now if you want to talk about regret.. yep, got a boat load of that.

I guess it is a strange question, what's interesting is that the majority of responses say 'yes, at times.'

I wrote this when I was really pissed at myself for doing some pretty stupid things. In making amends with those who I had wronged, they were very clear with me that no one can expect perfection.

It was a passing feeling for me fortunately, and I haven't felt this since then. But at the time it was pretty intense.
