How do you deal with dealing with social things or society when you can't even stand yourself ?

I kick my own *** for being silly. I realize that I am the cause of my own misery, and therefore, I am the only one with the power to fix it. Cheer up. No matter the difficulties you are going through, you'll find you're strong enough to survive.

Very nervously. Many times I just avoid the whole social scene, but I get lonely and bored then. So I find ways that work for me in trying to deal with my issues, and plug away at it. I've had lots of success, over a long period of time, with many huge and smaller setbacks. I sat and let felt sorry for myself, but got back up again. Then started going forward. I keep in mind a picture of what I would like to see, and think is rather possible. Sometimes, things worked out so much better than I thought. I dont always have a support system- right now not any family at all, we are at odds- so I rely on God, He's always there and always will be, if I let Him. [Thank You Jesus!] That's it, I guess.

This is something that you have to deal with straight away. How you do it will be a matter of preference i.e. through talking with a close and trusted friend or relative, going to a book store (2nd hand ones are great for getting lots of books cheap) and looking through their self help section, getting some form of professional counselling, online support groups etc. You may have to try different forms before you find what is right for you. It is definately a crazy world full of mixed up ideals of what is "right" and what society deems as "normal". I am almost 27 and for many years had problems accepting myself but as I've gotten older I have found people more accepting of me as I always treat people with kindness and respect something way to many people lack. I don't know what it is about yourself you are struggerling with but I guarantee you whatever it is, you aren't alone and they will be plently of help out there for you. I hope this is of some help to you.

Good question! I hate myself quite a bit, to the point where I don't even want a son out of fear that he will turn out like me. I'm also going to get cosmetic surgery soon...
You know how some people will give a quick glance into the mirror before they go somewhere?
Well, I was in a hurry the other day, packed all my things, quickly glanced in the mirror, and automatically said, "Ugh..." out loud. My friend was like, "What?" and I was like, "Uhh... Nothing..."
LOL! When it gets to that point, a person really isn't satisfied with who they are.

Look inside yourself. If you don't like who you are then change. The things you can't change, just let go. Set some standards for yourself and live up to them. You are right in believing self-acceptance makes social acceptance easier.

Grow stronger and improve your destructive potential. There is a certain sense of security you get when you know you are capable of ripping someone's limbs off in a crazed fit of rage.
