Would it be something like low self-esteem, drugs, laziness, relationships, hatred or something else??

This line: "I love you but I'm not ready to be IN love with you."
That kills.

In one word - PARENTS!
1. Bad parents: Some people should not even be allowed to own a dog, let alone be parents - for example: mean sprited people, selfish people, pedofiles, psychopaths, liars, drug abusers, alcoholics, or just plain irresponsible people to name a few.
2. Parents without backbones: These parents don't want their children to be mad at them. They can not tell their kids no or set any boundaries. They want to be their kids best friend, and their little darlings run amok.
3. Controlling or overprotective parents: These parents don't let their kids do anything, often give harsh punishment for minor infractions, and hold the reigns so tight that when the kids get out of their sight or out of their house, they also run amok.
4. Parents giving their children up for adoption: Some people give their children up knowing they are unable to raise a child for whatever reason and believe the child would be better off. In most cases, the child actually is better off ... but the child can't grasp this. Many of the kids wonder, "What was it about me that my own mother didn't want me." Especially if they find their parents later and discover that they have older or younger siblings.
5. Good/well-meaning parents: No matter how well intentioned we may be, or how innocent certain comments seemed to us - our children sometimes get a totally different understanding of why they can't do certain things or they misconstrue a look or some off comment we may have made. We may not give it a second thought, but it sometimes leaves the child thinking they are unloved, not trustworthy, or stupid.
Deciding to become a parent should not be a decision made lightly. It can be one of the most difficult or natural, selfish or selfless, rewarding or disappointing, unthankful, expensive endeavors we can embark upon. Sometimes no matter what we do, it seems we can't win.
Hopefully, as parents, we can find a healthy balance in raising our children. And hopefully, as someone's child, we can realize our parents are human and will make mistakes along the way. Most of all, we all need to realize it is in our power to decide to be happy and productive no matter what parents we got, no matter what cards we are dealt.

The refusal to take responsibilities for one's own actions. Telling lies, drugs, or whatever. Let me explain.....
Do you think your life would be better if someone else did this or that? Nope!
Do you think MOST of us get our wishes without working for it? Nope.
This one simple reason why the rest (of the problems) follow: low-esteem, drugs, laziness, hatred, blaming, false accusations, etc. Anger and hatred stems from a denial to self-blame or self-criticise.
Good relationships, marriages, etc REQUIRES work too. Not really a free world huh? :p

Stupidity...which probably comes at least partially from low self-esteem and is the cause of drugs, bad relationships, hatred, etc.

It is actually usually problems in childhood. When children are raised inappropriately or in an unhealthy environment they carry on the bad habits and the damage into adulthood. They can't develop neurologically as well and they don't develop their personality properly. Then they get bad self esteem, become drug addicts, are lazy, etc... Hence the reason we have this cycle pattern in families.

Relationships, as all the problems such as addiction to substances, difficulties with emotions etc are influenced by the relationships held throughout a lifetime.

Waiting for life to just pan out, instead of living your life and going for the things you want screws up lives.
It's the waiting for change instead of making changes that leads to drug abuse, bad relationships etc.
I guess it boils down to laziness.

our egos! everyone wants to be better than everyone else and sometimes that means to belittle others. we don't like to settle for mediocre, if someone else has a better one...I WANT IT TOO! thus, we are never satisfied and happy with the fact that we are alive and we can't even enjoy the things we actually do have...health, food, shelter, love etc.
