It’s an amazing feeling bros to finally like yourself

I firmly believe that the world would be an infinitely better place if there were many more people like me out there. While I do have some imperfections, this just makes me tolerant of these imperfections in others.

remember: the intelligent man's insatiable desire for perfection is what culminates in our reverence for GOD

I am saying that recognizing the presence of imperfections in myself does no such thing, because I know I’m smart, strong, etc., and just makes me tolerant of those imperfections in others.

The whole idea of hating myself seems like a foreign concept. You are the only person you have, why would you hate yourself because you aren’t perfect?

idk if your post is some kind of humblebrag that you never went through this or what. but i've never met any smart person who has not gone through this same process, so i have my doubts

it's not your fault... it's not your fault. It's not your fault.

*hit yourself*

*cry*

it's not your fault. it's not your fault. it's not your fault.

lastly for a very very long time i didn't feel that i had much of an impact on those around me or that i made a difference. i think my overall sense of self worth has increased because i feel like i have more of a (positive) impact on those around me now

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4087137&forum_id=2#36885427)

Regarding your second paragraph, I think that’s an odd barometer to use, measuring your self worth by the difference or impact you make on others. I probably don’t make much of a difference but don’t really give a shit.

That’s not a value judgment, just a statement of fact. With this being the case, why would I care if I made much of a difference in a very insignificant existence overall? It is like fretting that you won’t be able to make enough chess moves in a game that no one is watching, and that will be tossed in the garbage after you die.

Why? I have known for a long time that most of life is pointless, with the only real “point” being to reproduce so your offspring can similarly experience it.

That’s a bullshit copout since it can’t really be proven one way or the other, while my statement is demonstrably correct.

that in turn makes me feel better about myself that im the kind of person i want to be. i admire those that help their friends and family and it feels good to aspire to do the same

when i was so stuck in the mud on my own issues it exacerbated the fact that i was not in a position materially or emotionally to be able to help the people i cared about, that i was somewhat of a burden on them instead of a net benefit to them, and that made me feel worse about myself

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4087137&forum_id=2#36885691)

If you are an adult that is in a position to help your loved ones, but do or cannot due to your issues, then it makes sense to hold yourself in lower esteem because of it.

This does not make sense if you are not yet in this position (for example, a student).

Helping your friends and family is a good trait too. And I agree it is an admirable quality. I just don’t see the connection between this and your poasts, or why it is “normal” to feel this way. The only way it makes any sort of sense is if you are a burden when you should be helping, but surely this is not a common position for many to remain in for long.

Use your common sense.

Also, you completely avoided responding to any of the points I raised.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4087137&forum_id=2#36885789)

Nevertheless, it is not rational, and is completely unprovable, so I would not assert to others that this is the “point” of life. You can only tell others what we know to be true: your existence won’t amount to shit 50 years after you are gone, so it is irrational to fret if you don’t think you are making enough of a difference now.

so youre saying xo helped you like yourself more?

If you have inflated confidence as a reaction to your shortcomings, you should post and should be mocked for it.

If you can say you've done your best and forgive yourself for your faults, then you should stop posting because you maed it.

if you've never achieved anything noteworthy, haven't really left any mark on the world, what's the point of existing? we're just selfishly taking up space on an already resource-depleted planet. what's to like about somebody like that?

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4087137&forum_id=2#36885785)

its only by improving yourself via lasting, concrete actions that the feeling itself will change over time

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4087137&forum_id=2#36885809)

Seriously, I don’t understand many people ITT at all. Even if I was some scumbag, I’d own it and say it’s a good thing.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4087137&forum_id=2#36885816)

Not all, because I am not like this, but this bizarre self-flagellation is unique to the white race.
