There is an important silver lining to self-hatred: It can motivate you to work harder. And indeed, as Michael Lopp, author of Being Geek told me, Not-obvious nugget: Nearly every successful person in Silicon Valley suffers from self-doubt, low self-esteem, if not downright self-loathing. This makes sense to me. No less than George Washington and Abraham Lincoln suffered from grave selfdoubt. Asian-Americans are the U.S.'s highest achievers yet have the lowest average self-esteem.
Not withstanding what some educators and advocates claim, high self-esteem often leads to complacency and inhibited growth. In contrast, self-doubt can drive you to work harder to increase the amount of good you do. Actor Judd Apatow said, "I am always driven by the terror of humiliation. My shrink calls it unhealthy but she can't argue with its effectiveness."
A significant minority of people I know feel that marriage and/or children have been a net negative. Even those people derive pleasure from their relationships but, overall, they've suffered more from the fights, problems, and simply from having given up their freedom and autonomy. And although hard to admit, many of those people also feel that having a child's enormous dollar costs, human costs, and toll on career and recreational freedom were not worth it.
