A friend, who is female, keeps mentioning "I hate myself". Why does she keep going on about this??
No matter what I say, she still believes this. Is she telling me not to like her and stay away from her? I don't understand with her pessimistic view of herself.

The thing is, when we go out for coffee or talk, she has a good laugh or is happy.

She quite obviously has low self esteem and no confidence....maybe she is depressed!!

I've heard my daughter say this when she is frustrated over something in particular. Perhaps someone has commented her negatively on the way she looks or acts and she has lost all self confidence. Just continue to tell her that you enjoy her company and compliment the things about her that you truly like. These setbacks take a while to recover from.

I think it may be one of two things: She wants someone to recognize her and have her as the center of attention, or she honestly doesnt care for herself. A lot of women dont like thereselves at some point until they rediscover who they are and embrace it.

she lacks confidence. she was probably talked about a lot and it got so bad that she doesn't feel the same anymore. help her if you're a friend because this could lead to a bigger problem. better sooner than later

something is bothering her inside.. and that she is worried if she were really to let out those feelings or confide in people might think shes crazy
i suggest you as a friend talk to her and please dont freak out if she has any sort of "confession" just be there for her
gd luck

shes looking for your attention...she thinks if she keeps saying tht you would say good things about her to make her change her mind. give her what she wants.
