This is how I thought.
First, I wanted to say, "I disesteem you" or "I look down on you."
But I didn't know these words.
So I though of something opposite.
I thought the opposite of 'looking down on' would be 'respect'
"I respect you."
or
"I'm very proud of you." (I mistyped 'yourself' instead of 'you')
The opposite feeling of "I'm proud of you"
are described as "I'm not proud of you.".......
The true expression what I wanted to say was;
"You should be ashamed of yourself!"
Sorry for confusing you.
My translation was just like machine translation...
