How Do I stop Hating Myself?

I'm not expecting a very simple bog standard answer, I'm not that naïve (I'd like to think so)

But honestly nothing works for me yet. I've been doing therapy for 2 months, I know that's not very long but I'd still like to feel somewhat better, and it hasn't helped. There's a lot I'm very insecure about that I can't exactly change like how I look or speak or interact with people or how I've been cringe and embarrassing and just an areshole in the past to people.

It's really making me anxious and paranoid to, like everytime I see friends or anyone I'll walk away from interactions terrified I embarrassed myself, because it's me, how could I not. It's gotten to the point where my girlfriend will compliment me and I just think she's lying or needs a favour or something.

I've also really grown a distaste for "confident people", which I know is a disgusting thing to say, but like part of me thinks if you do actually like yourself, you must be arrogant and self centred.

Anyway, any advice or whatever is appreciated (apart from "just be kind to yourself" because trust me I would if I could)
