Answer 1

One could assume that, if you "hate" all those things about yourself that you truly know yourself, but as a mental health practitioner with 20+ years experience, now retired, I can assure you that most people truly don't know much about themselves, so, let me recommend you "find yourself", a phrase so often used decades ago, in the '70's I believe. It takes a method of thought called "introspection", and is not as easy as it may seem at first. It can be exciting, and depressing, and terrifying, and uplifting, but it must be done. Then you can chose the parts of you that you do like and want to keep, and the parts of yourself that you don't like and can alter or eliminate. This is a long process, so don't look for any cheap and "quick-fixes". But, as the L'Oreal commercial says, "You're worth it", even if you don't believe it now. God Bless you.

Answer 2

Go to the library and get a book on self love. Start with that. You will have to make a list also of what you dislike about yourself and what you want to be.

Rate them next, by putting a one by the one you want to change the most and then a 2 by the second and so on.

Only you can change you. Good luck.

Answer 3

It's important to realize you already realized that you need to change yourself and become a better person. Gain some self confidence. Look at yourself and find a few specific faults about yourself. Be very specific and write them down, keeping in mind exactly what you want to change about yourself. Next, think about what you want to become. Then, slowly change yourself, fixing all the things you don't like about yourself.

1st of alldo you really know who you are?ashk yourself why you hate yourself,dont ever base by what you see or hear from other people.what about yourself do you want to change and why,you cant change what you dont know.when you do realize what it is you want to change and why dont try to do it all at once,you will overwelm yourself.make little adjustments,take your time .also,point out your positive sides as well,what do you like about yourself?focus more on the good as well.as for your image,there are many ways to do that,dress different,change you hair ro makeup,but make sure you are happy inside first,otherwise your looks will never be good enough for you,i have been through all this as well.just dont try to be something your not,expecially if its for someone else.hope i helped.:)

Answer 5

simple.... buy a big mirror look at yourself and change the things that you don't like. keep in mind that you is you!. there are certain things that you cannot change, instead try to look for the good qualities in the things that you don't like. We humans are so self destructive that we always look the bad things first, never the good ones.
