jazzcat, I'm sure there are tons of wonderful things that are great about yourself! You sound a lot like me a couple years ago, but thru the love of my friends I have managed to like myself a bit more than I used to. Overcoming self-loathing or even a mild dislike of one's self is one of the hardest things to do. I'm always being chastised for putting myself down or appologising for everything.

I know there's got to be a few people on here who know you pretty well that can help out with the greatness of you! Don't despair! I know you've got to be a fantastic person.
