Not referring to myself, though have suffered a bit from this.

Answer 1

I think that they have been very badly bullied. Unfortunately bullies are always in groups as they have not got the courage to go it alone.
Listening to there nasty remarks day after day the person starts to believe what they hear and they loose all confidence in themselves.
I am wondering if you have asked this question for a reason and if you feel that you hate yourself just take a look around you and see people who are full of themselves and how they can act in a very nasty or bossy way and then if your a kind sort then you will see that your not so bad after all and give yourself a pat on the back.

Answer 2

Hatred is a passion of the sensitive appetite, which is moved by an apprehension in the senses. Further, hatred is caused by disagreement; and where there is disagreement, there is nothing in common.
when a person did something wrong and then feels guilty on it may cause him to hate himself...
Briefly, when an individual shifts his center of gravity to his idealised self, he not only exalts himself but also is bound to look at his actual self -- all that he is at a given time, body, mind, healthy and neurotic -- from a wrong perspective. The glorified self becomes not only a phantom to be pursued; it also becomes a measuring rod with which to measure his actual being. And this actual being is such an embarrassing sight when viewed from the perspective of a godlike perfection that he cannot but despise it. Moreover, what is dynamically more important, the human being which he actually is keeps interfering -- significantly -- with his flight to glory, and therefore he is bound to hate it, to hate himself.

Answer 3

There's many factors. Picture this, if your always in a good environment yet your always acting opposite to your environment this puts strain to you mind making you feel naturally bad. The second case is your always in a bad environment and trying to remain good, neutral or unnaturally bad you tend to feed F*@#'d up just the same. I don't believe that B.S. of people just being born that way. The best thing to do is to find a positive way to get yourself feeling good about yourself otherwise you go to S@#%.
Have a good one =)

Very low self esteem usually stems from the actions and reactions of primary caregivers early in life. Necessary steps to developing good self esteem involve nurturing, unconditional love, and respect.

By things wrong all the time, by being a mean person, by getting bad reactions from other people,
If one percieves themselves as being underserving or unloved.

Low self esteem

Answer 7

if they had had an unfortunate upbringing where they were deprived of family/love. sometimes people can develop confidence issues/low self esteem because of this - having no good role models etc. also, bullying can cause people to hate themselves over time, being told they are ugly/fat/stupid etc

Answer 8

I would imagine, low self esteem. Maybe they've been told how horrible they are, and just having negative things told to them every day. It could mess a person up.

Answer 9

Not having an outlet for negative feelings, like a good friend or supportive family etc.

Answer 10

low self esteem. some people never feel loved and they act out in ways to get any sort of attention, good or bad. They need more love and pep talk.
