The thing I need most is to stop behaving like a child.
Thank you<3
Well,
don't hate yourself or abuse your body. Shit I wish were you, but I suppose people tend to take things for granted sometimes.
What...
do you hate about yourself?

Self hatred is a habit. A habit that gets you nowhere fast. It's hard to progress in life if you spend your time loathing yourself.
Just keep in mind that for every negative you see in yourself, there's probably, like, 10 positives. :)

It is a habit.
Something triggers a thought like, "oh, I'm so dumb" and then they all come.
I'm so ugly.
I'm worthless.
I'm ignorant.
And I go back to it out of habit, because it's easier to blame myself. And it's curious, because you sort of say those things to yourself out of habit, but once they must have really meant something.

No, do just sit in your room listening to sad music and feeling pathetic. 'Give it to me in excess, so that, surfeiting, the appetite may sicken and so die.' Eventually you'll look up and see that your dark little sad-music cave is much more gloomy and pathetic than you are, then you'll laugh at yourself and cheer up. It always works for me, even (maybe especially) when I don't want it to.
What if I am as gloomy and
What if I am as gloomy and pathetic as my cave music? ;)
