Dissatisfaction arises because of disparity in expectations. i.e. you want something but you can't have it. Or you expect something to turn out a certain way but it went another way.
Do you wish you were someone else, or wish that your life is such and such (e.g. a bed of roses)?
Perhaps your expectations are unrealistic?
If you're always envying the greener grass on the other side of the field, you'd be forever unhappy with yourself and your situation.
Complaining or wallowing in self-pity will not solve your problem.
If you wish to change your life for the better, you'd have to act. You have to think and act differently - look on the bright side of life.

Self-hatred is not low self-esteem as much as it is "shame."
The difference between shame and guilt this:
guilt: you feel bad because you made a mistake.
Shame: you feel bad because you are the mistake.
I don't know how old you are or your background, but don't make life any harder than it is going to be anyway, find a therapist you click with and make a commitment to healing.
It might take more than one therapist to find one that works for you. Interview them, you will be spending lots of time with them.
I would also try some positive affirmations, and being very careful about letting yourself focus on negative thoughts.
Also, please get screened for depression. There are a number of fairly accurate screening tools on-line. 1 minute on goggle will turn one up.

It is the choice you choose to allow to be made for you. Happiness is one of the few true choices we can make in life, but because most people believe that others and/or other circumstances dictate how they should feel, they give up the power they have to make that choice for themselves.
How hard is that choice to make? It's as difficult or easy as you wish to make it. It's easy to say, "There's absolutely no reason for me to be happy, for look at all the things I have to feel sad about.", but ALL things happen for a GOOD reason, even though we cannot see any good that could come about from it at the time.
You must try to find reasons to be happy, and finding them the first time, they become much easier to find again. The more situations in which you choose in favor of happiness, eventually you will be happy most of the time. Each circumstance is a choice.

Low self-esteem. Your probably not so bad and would be alot more fun, if you stopped beating yourself up all the time. People are drawn away from others who are negative.

You have low esteem issues and it is hard to overcome. You have to find things in life that you are grateful for and you are good at.
Be proud of yourself =)

Do you really hate YOURSELF? Or the situtation your life is in? Either way you can change both if you want!

You don't know who you are and why your here..you have much to learn.
You judge yourself based on what you see in others.
Stop comparing..
They are just as miserable as you are you just can't see it. Look closer.
