I like my mind, not the dark, pothole-strewn parts, but the rest: my ability to think and understand things quickly and my ability to articulate my thoughts.
I am, however, riddled with selfhate from an abusive and bully-frequent adolescence. I got called "nerd", "gameboy freak", "turtle boy" at school a lot and mostly in front of the girls I liked. After school, I was called "worthless, good for nothing, can't do nothing for yourself." Meanwhile, I maintained stellargradesand attendance and was never in trouble. I never drank or smoked or got into fights despitebeing attacked and threatemed frequently. I had no safe place so I retreated into my mind, and I honed the skills that came from the "factory."
nearly 20 years since high school graduation, and I am a complete failure. I have no money and no job. I have a college degree that has no value, and in the third world, companies dont give graduates without degrees in business shots at management. So, I cant work in my field(communication), and I am called overqualified for trying to change industries to hospitality. I am destitute and in debt I can't pay and am ready to call it quits.
I think a person can only be called "lazy, dumb, retarded" from significant people in their lives without those ugly words being transferred into the target's mind. So definitely self-hate.
