Self hatred, non existing confidence and unwillingness to improve

Dealing with self-hatred, lack of confidence, and reluctance to improve can be challenging, but there are effective strategies discussed by experts on the Huberman Lab. Here are some insights:

1. Acknowledge and Recognize Negative Narratives: Paul Conti shares that for many years, he carried a negative voice that constantly criticized him. Through self-reflection and therapy, he learned to recognize and manage this voice. Although it occasionally resurfaces, recognizing these thoughts helps in managing them effectively 1.

2. Embrace Instead of Suppress: Andrew Huberman emphasizes the importance of embracing rather than suppressing intrusive thoughts or negative internal narratives. The process involves acknowledging these thoughts and striving toward hopefulness and healthy actions. Suppression is ineffective, but facing these narratives can lead to personal growth 1.

3. Engage in Self-Reflection and Therapy: It is crucial to have a desire to understand and improve one's internal state. Therapy and self-reflection have been powerful tools for many in overcoming negative self-views and building confidence.

4. Practice Patience and Persistence: Overcoming deeply ingrained negative thoughts is a gradual process. It requires patience and continuous effort but can lead to significant improvements in self-perception and confidence over time.

Incorporating these practices can help transition from a place of negativity to one of understanding and growth. Always consider seeking professional help when managing profound emotional challenges.
