I understand exactly what you are saying.
Is there some way you can see the plusses, the positives?
Maybe in the long run you will be happier than the confident cool dudes.
I mean you might attract the "right person " for you because you are genuine. (as long as your expectations are not too high)

I hate the word ´´I hate that I´´ ´´i hate that you´´..

I´d rather say

I wish I could... Or I´d better be..


I´d better be more confident
I´d better be less afraid
I´d better graduate school
I´d beter not avoid school too much
I´d better have a good talk with my therapist today
I´d wish I could go on Holiday to Canada this Summer
I´d better be stronger in the future so I can have a nice job
I´d better keep on improving myself as much as I can
You´d better accept me when times aren´t going so well, I have a strong will power.
You´d better be taking me the way I am, folks.

when you stay away from certain things, your brain confirms that its something to fear, so face your fears, so your subconcious mind gets used to it

I feeling pretty low right now, so I'm not going to list the things I hate about myself to reinforce how bad I feel.

There are always plenty of critics to remind me, rather than descend into self criticism

That's a more positive spin on a negative thought. Well done.

I wish I could stick up for myself.
I wish I could say no more often.
I wish I could be depressed less often.
I wish I could have more confidence around girls.

I wish I could be less bitchy.
I wish I could get more motivation.
I wish I was useful.
I wish I would enjoy myself more.
I wish that life wasn't so hard for me.
I wish I could go up and hug my dad.
I wish I wasn't so sensitive.
I wish I wasn't so weak.
I wish I was smart.
I wish I could be happy.
I wish I was better looking.
I wish people approved of me.

Okay, that's enough. lol

This just encourages people to be self hating.

^ All of these, as well as wishing I was more confident in myself

And I wish I could feel like less of an outsider all the time

I also wish that...

I didn't feel so inferior
I had a better, more positive perception of my body image
I could have a better relationship with both my parents.
I was a bit smarter
I wish I could be happier

You're not as messed up as you think you are
Your self-absorption makes you messier
Just settle down and you will feel a whole lot better
Deep down you're just like everybody else

^ I like this positive spin.

I wish I had A LOT more confidence.
I wish I wasn't so afraid all the time.
I wish I could open up to the people closest to me.
I wish I wasn't constantly worried about what everyone thinks of me.
I wish I had the means to get therapy.
I wish I didn't hate my face as much as I do sometimes.
I wish I could get out on my own, start living my life the way I want to.

And at the moment I wish I had someone to hang out with. I'm feeling pretty lonely in the library.
