do you love yourself

I don't believe in love. I'm too scientific. To me, love is just a chemical reaction in the brain. So, no, I don't love myself. I chemicly react with myself. What?

i masturbate, so i guess i do

Kind of, if I'm going by my own description of love, which is something to the effect of "That annoying feeling in the pit of your stomach that stops you from simply walking away when she's annoying you."

I tolerate myself, but then I have little choice.

ok, ok.
what i meant was 'do you like being who you are'. ofcourse you don't have to have warm, lusty, passionate feelings for your own self

the question is soaked with cornyness, i know. but what i'm interested in is the self-esteem of my dear beloved fellow cultsters.

so...

I love being me. I've been blessed with the ability for complete apathy on-demand.

But then, I think most of our generation probably has.

I hate myself. I am the all-singing all-dancing crap of the world.

I have my moments, but lately I've felt like slapping myself silly like you would some friend you love like a brother but who's generally fucking off.

I can tolerate myself... that's the best I can do.

Not for about a week now, but that's a different thread.

Now, in the corny sense that ampler was talking about, most of the time, yes, I do love myself. Every once in a while, I'll feel the self-loathing vibes, but I'm usually able to calm them down before I do any real damage. I'm quite content with who I am though.

I don't masturbate, so I guess I don't love myself, and I'm Catholic, and I stutter, so actually I'm pretty sure I hate myself. But that's why we're here...right?

can't live without myself, so yea, i love myself...

If you don't like who you are, and you don't love yourself because of something you do, CHANGE! If you can't be happy in your skin, you are probably doing something wrong.

i have good self-esteem if that's what you mean. i see a lot of people i'd rather not be- but i'd trade this mjodel in for a rich and powerful Cruise or Pitt persona anyday.
... but it just sounds pathetic to me to "love yourself".
sounds like self-centered, misdirected, politically correct bullshit.

i see a lot of people who don't aspire to anything on a day to day basis when i'm at work, and it really does make me think better of myself. it may sound self-centered, but that's the way the human brain tends to work...

MK, I'm dancing and signing with you. Except I can't dance, nor sing. So that just makes me crap.... of the world?

with a jar of vaseline.

Ahh. I knew I was missing something.

Posting [url=http://www.chuckpalahniuk.net/community/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1175]here[/url] and saying yes in this thread is wrong.

Like raw baby pie.

Wait, which thread is it wrong to post yes?

And pies aren't exactly raw. Nor do they contain babies....

*pukes*

That reminds me of Donnie Darko, and what that John Cunningham (a.k.a Kitty Porn Man!) says on the video.

no.

Jim.

Yes.

Unconditionaly, in fact.

However, I feel the need to quote an old friend of mine:

"in a way, it's a bigger deal to say you "like"someone, as oposed to "love" them... lots of times, you can love someone with all your heart, and still not like them very much..."

So...I love myself, I just don't always like myself, which I think is a fairly healthy way to look at it.

I'm my own best friend and worst enemy and I'm so fucking in love with myself I wear a set of rings to show it (well, they actually mean mre than that, but that's a nice, short, simplistic way of looking at it).

It's all about the independance for me.

I wouldn't say I love myself, so much as have an inert dependancy problem.

Wherever I go, I have to go with me. I just can't be alone, for some reason. I guess it's fine so long as I let myself keep following me around.

waka waka.

i pretend to love myself...
when in fact I'm just using myself for my money, mwahahhaahahahahahahahhahahahahah
i'm such a gold digger.

Don't worry, I won't tell you about yourself.

Your secret's safe with me.

pan, you reminded me- in a going-on-a-tangent kind of way.....

i would be utterly amused if someone married me, or tried to marry me for money
if i ever actually get any.
cos you know- that person would be utterly comprimised and so suspect.
kind of like a toy.

i see myself as a close friend to myself.. kinda like a cousin that shows up every other year and you just 'click'. we get along and i have fun by myself.
to answer the real question here, i do like the persona that i give off. i have my own dislikes and things i wouldnt mind changing about who or how i am.
i guess i'm impatient with myself and always argue with silly trivial things. i help me decide what's right and wrong... for myself.

pan you kick so much fucking ass. lol.

I'm really lucky... I can rely on other people to love me . But sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. I depends on wether It feel I'm being right or not in my actions type stuff... or how much stimulants I've taken recently. But this can be a vicious circle, where I hate myself because I don't love myself... then I really have to depend on other people, or feel responsible for them...

LOLOLOLOLOL.

it's ok if you're codependent joe. you'll find plenty of enablers here.

Like your avatar? Please say your avatar! :D;)

sure;.)

At the end of FC, Joe says that we are not the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world, nor are we all beautiful and unique snowflakes. We just *are*. That's how I think about myself, I don't love myself or hate myself or tolerate myself or anything...I just *am*.

Does that make any sense?

good answer. on a good day that's how i am.

Actually, you are wrong about the second part. Pies do contain babies. The following has been taken from George LaMort's collection of recipes entitled "From Cradle to Ladle," which can be found in Adam Parfrey's "Apocalypse Culture II":

PRE-MIE POT PIE
When working with prematurely delivered newborns use sherry;

PIE CRUST (see index)

WHOLE FRESH PRE-MIE; EVISCERATED, HEAD, HANDS AND FEET REMOVED

ONIONS, BELL PEPPERS, CELERY

CUP WINE

ROOT VEGETABLES OF CHOICE (TURNIPS, CARROTS, POTATOES, ETC.) CUBED

Make a crust from scratch--or go shamefully to the frozen food section of your favorite grocery and select two high quality pie crusts (you will need one for the top also).
Boil the prepared delicacy until the meat starts to come off the bones. Remove, de-bone and cube; continue to reduce the broth. Brown the onions, peppers and celery. Add the meat, season and continue browning. De-glaze with sherry, add the reduced broth. Finally, put in the root vegetables and simmer for 15 minutes. Allow to cool slightly.Place the pie pan in 375 degree oven for a few minutes so bottom crust is not soggy, reduce oven to 325. Fill the pie, place top crust and, with a fork, seal the crusts together, then poke holes in top. Return to oven and bake for 30 minute, or until pie crust is golden brown.

So there you have it, Xchuck, there are babies in pie. Check my recommendations section for "Apocalypse Culture II." Mr. LaMort's chapter of the book has more great recipes such as Stillborn Stew, SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Soup), Roast Child with Cornbread stuffing and so much more. This chapter ends with a quote by Paul McCartney, "I am no longer a vegetarian, thanks to Mr. LaMort." What does this quote mean? Is Paul McCartney eating babies?

I'm fucked in love... there's no turning back, I punish my lover, my self, then turn my back. I punish my future to spite my past, all my love turns to hate with every spell I cast...

Brock, you scare me a little bit. It's refreshing!

Bwaa! It's Brock! He's back! Where were you? Oh, and, not to be offencive in any way, but your constant hate of love is what got you to, seemingly (we know you didn't get banned, nor did you delete your membership), go away. Just a warning, not to intimadate you, but you make sure you don't feel the need to leave again. Not that it bothers me any, weither or not your here, but everbody is welcome here, and I don't think that idea should be tampered with.

I believe Brock "Ooh, look at me! I'm so hate filled and hateful and angst-laden and scary! La la la!" Landers is secretly the lead singer of the popular band Metallica.

He just needs a big warm hug and a bubblebath.

James Headfield (I used to be a fan of Metallica) is actully a very nice, calm, happy man.

So what are you saying? That I'm wrong?

Maybe Brock Landers is popular singer Marilyn Manson?

Happy Birthday, Mister President!

Landmine... has taken my sight... taken my speech... taken my hearing... taken my arms... talking my legs.. taken my soul... left with this life in heeeeeeeellllllllllll....

Brock isn't MM! MM thouraly(sp) belives in love! I dunno. Maybe he's, well, JUST Brock Landers.

No, sorry old man. I just can't accept that.

Maybe Brock Landers is... SATAN?

maybe brock really IS chuck, fucking with our minds.

i want to be mythologized like brock.

are you suggesting that Mr. Palahniuk is unhappily married and keeps coming here to complain?

but, hey, why not. everyone needs therapy.

i love myself. i wish they could clone me so i can marry it whatever gender it will be...
