Is it possible for someone to truly hate themselves as opposed to hating their lives?

Question

Often what is described as people not loving themselves enough is really too much self-centeredness, such as them being dissatisfied with some aspect of themselves such as their body or their career. Even when people self-critisize , it's really an attempt to get sympathy or validation that they are in fact the opposite of what they say. If someone hated themselves, wouldn't they be glad to suffer and purposely sabotage their lives instead of wanting more or trying to draw sympathy. But I've never heard anyone say that they'd want to be miserable.

Answer 1

yes it is, everything is possible.
Having people who are miserable are those who have been that way for a long time and don't know how to change it.
some just don't care and enjoy making other people who are not normally miserable..... miserable....
jealousy has a lot to do with miserable attitudes from the jealous ones.

Answer 2

Sure, at least I think. But it comes down to someone who is doig something that is against their own moral code. Otherwise, why would they hate themselves, as opposed to their situation.
