I have loved myself

[Ex-User (8886)]

There were various moments in my life, sometimes I hated myself, sometimes I disesteem, but

now I really like my self
I am my best friend.

People can dissapoint, things can get lost

in this world you can count only on yourself, it's sad, but if you accept it, you will become the most fortunetly man

if you won't get mad...

Dissapointed that I made next unnesessary topic? Of course, you know all that. My words are useless for you, you know this and a lot more than me. For now. What is a sense of making topic only for one man? I could write my thoughts on paper, but awarness that someone will read what you think make thoughts better.

So how did you transit your feelings about yourself? By releasing your faith from others or is there more?

Acceptance and proud of myself. I really feel important. I feel even more important than other people, I am better than others, not than everyone, but than everyone in my age. If I look at people in my environment I can see fools, idiots, or smart but enought. In developing myself I am better than everyone, and I am only 19. The most difficult age for INTx and I'm in good position. What will be in next 10 years? I can be everyone, can everything. Last question is: who I want be. I have plans for next 5 years, but rest is empty.

I am my worst enemy.
I bullied myself my whole life.

wait a second. Let me get this straight. You claim to love yourself but yet you're striving to become an ubermensch? Shouldn't the overman be motivated by self-hatred- which would be the driving force behind his lust for greatness? Who was it that said that (paraphrasing) all great art comes from despair and self-contempt? (seriously...I forget).

Better be careful with the whole self-love thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcissus_(mythology)

Ubermensh does not have to do anything. Does Ubermensh worry about stiupid definition made by nietzsche? Next thing, I don't striving, I am now overman. I don't need to become anyone, but can do what is useful for me. I am not also narcisstic, because there are people, who I care about. Also forget about psychoanalisys, it's pile of loose observation, not science, not truth.

I love myself, like everyone should.

can’t a person respect themselves without 'loving themselves? What does that even mean? To me that suggests that you're already content in life. WTF dude? Didn't you say you were like 19?

And dude, how can you be an overman at 19? If you are already viewing yourself as reaching the pinnacle of your life- well, then you're just setting yourself up for a huge fall, or you'll just wither away in miserable stagnation.

Anyway- I always thought of the 'overman' as more as concept than an actual person. Basically, IMO, it's about overcoming all the struggles in life and attaining your true potential. It's about an individual becoming who they truly are, not necessarily becoming a literal 'superman'. We can't 'overcome' ourselves, that doesn't make any sense- we can only become who we are.

But that can't happen if we smugly look in the mirror and think: "damn! aren’t I just the greatest ever?”
