Over the past year, increased regulatory pressure in multiple regions like UK OFCOM and Australia's eSafety has led to higher operational costs, including infrastructure, security, and the need to work with more specialized service providers to keep the site online and stable.

Do you love yourself?

Not at all. I hate my body, my voice, my appearance, my mind, my ego, my insecurity, my incompetence, my laziness, my loudness, my awkwardness, my short temperament, my familial and friend relationships, virtually every aspect there can be about my being I dislike.
I struggle with this question every single day. I certainly want to! However, I find it very hard to see my redeeming qualities. My life is nothing but a pile of failure, and regret. I know I've tried as hard as I could given my circumstances but when I look at the current state of my life I find it hard to love myself, for I am responsible for putting myself in my current position regardless of circumstance. How can I love that which is responsible for my undoing even if it is me?
I often say I hate myself, but perhaps it would be more correct to say that I despise myself. If I hated myself I would desire for bad things to happen to me, which I don't. On the other hand, I think I'm a low-value, unworthy, evil person.
well i was starting to like the me i've been becoming for the past two years but it literally doesn't matter because i'm an adult now so what the hell is there left to even do after this year i hate that i have to age and work and my looks to an extent but not myself as a person
I'm not sure I'd say I love myself, but I don't hate myself. I'd be comfortable saying I like myself. I like who I am. I don't think I would change much about myself, I just wish I made more sense in this world. I think sometimes it might be easier if I hated myself, if I hated life. I'd know the next step. There wouldn't be much to struggle with. But I've liked being me, I just never found the place I fit into. I never found the people I made sense with. I think I bare at least some of that responsibility, but I think maybe I was just never going to find a place. Some people just don't. We don't have to like that, it just is. But not liking circumstances is different from not liking myself.

you say falling victim to myself is weak, so be it
I hold disdain and disguste for what I am, love?
Well thats all the love I couldn't give myself but rather to somone who I time and time again throw me under the bus, like family and the love of my life and souly just every single person I've gotten the slightest bit close to.
I don't exactly love myself because that would be kind of narcissistic. But I have no reason to hate or even dislike myself. I work a good job, I'm not lazy. I struggle and try to overcome my problems.I didn't 'cause my own problems either. My anhedonia has just set in on its own.
I am kind and considerate, pretty normal, and none of my issues are of my own making. So I don't really have a reason to hate myself.
I wouldn't say it was love exactly but, I have more compassion for myself than I used to. I'm not sure that's always a good thing though. It can mean I let myself off the hook from doing things I probably should. For example- I can feel compassion towards myself for feeling socially anxious around real life people. But then, I'll also not push myself to face that problem. I'm almost too compassionate towards myself and instead, pander to my fears.
I certainly still have things I regret. But then, I try (and still fail) to bear those things in mind in the future- to try not to repeat them.
I'm very hot and cold with myself. I have moments of love, and moments of I wouldn't say hate but disappointment and judgement. In this season of my life I would say I don't love myself as much as I used to.
I don't hate myself, though there are some thing I hate about myself like how I just keep fighting to stay alive even when I just should give up, I have achieved nothing in all these years.
I want to love myself before I die because I'll never get the chance again. I want to at least see the best version of my version that I'll love before the end.
No. That version is exactly how i want to be. I wish i could bring that into myself.
Its hard to explain but example would be if i am in a bad situation in my head i want to say/do something else but in reality i do exactly the opposite which shows me as weak.
I used to. Now I'm starting to think that maybe I just wasn't meant to be happy in this life. I'm functional, but that's about it. I don't really find happiness in anything anymore. It's like everyone else was born with the ability to get things done and have a somewhat good grasp of their emotions and be likable, and I just got none of that.
