This genuinely sounds dumb I know, but look at yourself every day in the mirror and just tell yourself you love yourself. Pay attention to your favorite features and appreciate them. Every day you will start believe it more and more.

Wouldn’t ignoring/not complimenting the features I hate make me hate them even more? Won’t it feel like I’m overcompensating with stuff I like?

Don’t overthink it. You don’t have to ignore the features you dislike. But it’s not important to pay attention to what you hate about yourself while you’re telling yourself you love yourself. It just won’t work. The whole point is to look at yourself without only seeing what you hate.
