Okay, but what if you're atheist or hate religion. What then?
Then you're aware of the problem.
When you realize the creator of the entire universe created you on purpose, for a purpose, then:
You can't continue to hate yourself, because God loves you and didn't make you to live in self-loathing. He will change your outlook.
Those things you do that you hate, and can't change, no matter how you try? When you do something wrong, knowing the whole time that it's wrong? God is ready and willing to break your chains. He made you to be perfect.
Those days you feel crushed, like the weight of the world is on your shoulders? Or that you are buried underneath immense sadness? Anxiety is an insurmountable mountain, keeping you paralyzed? God is ready to lift your burden, and give you a new heart and mind.
You don't have any direction for you life? You haven't built anything, and you're only getting older, day by day? God is ready to show you your next step, and His timing for those important things in your life is always perfect.
Every question you've ever had has an answer in Him. Every unsolveable mess becomes solveable. Pain can drive you towards Him. Trauma can become your testimony and triumph.
If this all sounds very simple...that's because it is. If it sounds too good to be true, learn more about it before you dismiss it.
Anyone can reach out to me anytime if they are genuinely curious. But you'd be better off picking up a Bible, or just talking to God directly.
I also recommend Mere Christianity, by C.S. Lewis. (Who was also an atheist, btw.)
