Buddhists believe that suffering comes from the gap between how things are now, and how we long for them to be. If you can remove your desires, and accept and enjoy every moment for what it is - not what it could be - you will achieve happiness.
You are a worthless dweeb. Your self loathing fills the gap between what you are (W D) and what you wish you were (a useful member of society). To eliminate your self-loathing, you simply need to apply the teaching of the Buddha, and accept that you are, and will forever be, a worthless dweeb.
You wouldn't get angry at a mole for being unable to fly, would you?
Expectation management.

This seems like pretty solid advice but would you ever be able to accomplish anything at all if you just accepted yourself for who you are? What if OP wants to be that successful person who goes out and this self-loathing is a way to kick start him into working towards reaching it? I don't think anyone would be able to accomplish anything at all if it wasn't for suffering.

If it does, then great - if it doesn't he is needlessly making himself sad.
I mean, to be honest I was just being a dick, but I guess the actual answer is that living in the present doesn't stop you planning for the future. You could (in the present), be actively planning for a better, happier future - that's awesome, give it all you've got. What is bad is to be constantly distracted by hypothetical longings or desires which take you out of the moment.
In the second scenario you aren't really living, you're fretting, and suffering for no reason.
Ignor the beeeeee yourself cucks in this thread, OP. The way to overcome self-loathing is to become someone whom you no longer loathe. I'm sure you could reel of a list of reasons that you're a total piece of shit and hate your life. In fact, do it. Then once you have your list, work on altering or improving each one.
