Creative Ways to Avoid Hating Yourself

We've all been there. One minute, you're skipping merrily along the street on a sunshiny day thinking about what a beautiful, creative, fascinating, charming, open, and downright amazing person you are, when suddenly, for no inexplicable reason, BAM! it hits you--you realize that you're actually a self-centred, horrifically spoiled, idiotic, sniveling brat*.

Who knows what triggered it: maybe someone traps you in an argument that proves you're not as smart as you think you are, maybe you missed out on your daily dose of caffeine and every ounce of joy it embodies for you, maybe there was a pileup of the Self-Loathing chemical** in your brain, and you haven't managed to work through it all yet.
