So, first I would say accept it as a fact and do not berate yourself for not loving yourself. Enough arrows . . . <br /><br />Second, I would say maybe train your mind to reword some of the thoughts you hold about yourself. Something to the effect of "I recognize that I have some difficulties with anger, and that sometimes gets me into trouble. I have compassion for myself, and my suffering."<br /><br />Third, I would suggest that you maybe consider psychotherapy to deal with some of the issues you are faced with. I found it most useful for myself during the years when I was struggling with anger, rage, and self-hate. <br /><br />Last, this is a process. May you be patient with yourself!Marguerite Manteau-Raohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17956537059369707663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166459572149699816.post-63477658309125414922011-04-22T03:09:49.652-07:002011-04-22T03:09:49.652-07:00i don't have a car. and would never do anythin...i don't have a car. and would never do anything to physically harm another person. but my anger is mostly and ultimately directed towards myself. compassion to others makes sense. to myself, it seems selfish and conceited, especially since i'm a horrid person that gets angry easily and am not the smartest or useful person around. how did you guys learn to like yourselves?Zettai Ryoukihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03896955513721785151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166459572149699816.post-23189759172413361292011-04-21T22:51:48.283-07:002011-04-21T22:51:48.283-07:00Yep, exactly what happened here . . .

By the time I noticed, it was too late....I got out, looked and just laughed at the $1000 damage(which I had a $1000 deductible on). Happy to not have the anger at being unmindful, and it was the first sign that something was changing...me!Was Oncehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15787588883235992471noreply@blogger.com
