magicforest it's possible to dislike someone you love

or to like someone you hate

stork daddy but then i'd be dumb. 031126

magicforest if you don't like yourself you aren't dumb

but you certainly are mute

endless desire eyedream, for once i disagree. i love my brothers. i dislike them very much. i like the sign man who stands on corners. i do not love him, though. 031126

magicforest "it's possible to dislike someone you love"

Where did we disagree, Des?

Lemon_Soda Its possible to live to hate to find funny a sick deviant with saintyl aspirations and a wardrobe out of technicolor dreamcoat.

Sheesh.

As for the subject, I find it really hard to know whether I can or not. I'd like to. Enough people seem to agree with it. but alot of people don't. Just confusion. Confusion.confusion.confusion.

I think I'll just settle for liking everyone else.

magicforest too much of a generalization, w.c.w, if you are not speaking of yourself personally.

but such an interesting thread...it is a good example of the uniqueness of human behaviour, isn't it?

whitechocolatewalrus wasn't making a generalization. most people i know do like themselves. occassionally i like myself too, it's just that sometimes i don't. 031203
...
white_wave i do like myself mostly. i have a very fragile ego. it can easily be broken. right now i am tending towards the dislike of myself aspect. 040302
...
stork daddy for sure, i'd rather wish that i was likeable than like myself and be deceived. 040303

emmi it's a love hate relationship, i wish i could go somewhere in between. like sounds good. but like is indifferent to an extent. maybe i'm too intense to just like something or someone. it's always got to be all or nothing. maybe i'm just stupid and don't know how to handle myself. 040507

Syrope and she rambled on about how she wished her latest crush would get his act together so she could convince him to be with her. she hates how he keeps saying "you have to love yourself before you can love someone else"

but i haven't found that to be the case.

she thinks she loves him enough for the both of them.
that's also not the case

she turned to my love life, and asked how things *were* with us. well...he doesn't talk to me any more
i love myself too much to have room for his demands
he's not even a real person. he's that incomplete to me. i could never love him enough to make up for what he needs to do for himself.

PrincessParanoia it's so hard to do. so many people criticize you, emphasize your appearance, and point out your flaws. it's hard to see past it, to who you are, and why you're cool.

wishes she could do this.

ivyducktwilightseto i wish i liked myself

then maybe i could stop hating myself
maybe i could stop drinking
maybe i could stop poking myself with pins
maybe i could stop trying to kill myself
maybe i could stop cutting myself
maybe i could love again
maybe i could feel again
maybe it wouldn't be so bad
maybe life would seem so bad
maybe i wouldn't die tonight
maybe
maybe
i wish
maybe i'll wish

stork daddy but i do like you, so if only myself was you. and yet you don't seem to like yourself. i guess i'll just have to settle for liking you. 040508
