do you feel angry at yourself?

Post Reply New Topic

I do - not all the time, but often. Angry at myself and at life. I feel angry essentially for two reasons, being such an idiot socially, and for having made so many mistakes in my life (not in the sense of being a crackhead, but in the sense of studying the wrong degree, etc).

You're not alone. When does it end? Anyone with an answer?

No. It's everyone else with the problems.

more than I should; I really hate making mistakes...

I dont get angry at me only others. Why see yourself as a idiot socially when really they are social idiots.. lol

Yes, all the time, for those two reasons. It's not just the "anger" or w/e that gets to me, it's the fact that when I try to go to sleep, every night, I remember all these things that I did, and when I remember each of these, at least 10 a night, I twitch, sometimes painfully.

I used to be very angry with myself. I used to stew over every little mistake that I've made, and call myself a loser. I used to be angry at myself, over my obsessions, because my mum didn't think that they were normal. I used to be angry, whenever I said the wrong things, because I was always chastised for saying the wrong things, durring my childhood and early teens. I was so angry, that I used to injure myself, before I've moved out and started living on my own.

Hate myself...yeah To the point where I put cigarettes out on my arm. 21 years of not effing knowing why I was so different, all the while being deathly afraid that life was falling away from me, which it was. It's such an awful feeling, and it'll certainly lead to hate...

But at least now I know why I'm different, and that it's not my fault. So I don't think I'll be hating myself forever...but eww, other people?? Whole 'nother can o' worms there.

Yes all the time. I can't get over past mistakes and it makes me very angry at myself.

I am angry when I do an "Aspie" related thing. yesterday I went into a conversation about class,and the other person really was

not interested. I did say I was sorry, and I will have to work harder.

I am right now.

I often remember experiences that make me angry with myself - usually it's some kind of mistake or faux pas.

I'm angry at myself in the present because I don't feel like I'm doing anything right.

This is exactly how I think about myself.

Yes...I get very angry with myself.
Yes...I hate myself.
Yes...I think I can't do anything right.
Yes...I make lots of mistakes.
Yes...I get angrier the more I think over my mistakes.

People tell me that I have to let go of things. I don't know how if you can let go of something if you are not physically holding onto it. I know they mean that symbolically, but I have no idea how to do this.

Such is life. But I am so glad that I read this thread. Now I don't feel so alone with this self anger and loathing.

My self-esteem tends to fluctuate.

Yes indeed. Currently furious beyond belief with myself, am I. I'm incredibly frustrated with my social anxiety disorder and the fact that I have regressed to a nearly agoraphobic state. I can go out in public so long as I don't have to interact much with people I don't know but I feel I should be much better off. I need to cut myself some frikkin' frakkin' slack.

Public Image did a song, sung and written by John Lydon called 'Rise'.
There's a line . . . 'Anger is an Energy.'
I dont often feel anger but when I do I try to harness it's power to motivate me to make changes re. the situation -that I can't get together but know I should do. Positive actions, often to defend myself or protect myself.
I wish I had more anger or at least as a more regular occurence, as I tend to be too passive for my own good and end up suffering more abuse than is good for me.
Still bullied after all these years . . .
