Deep dives

The Nature of Self-Hatred

Self-hatred manifests as a pervasive inner voice that perpetuates feelings of inadequacy and worthlessness. This voice communicates a range of negative messages such as being a failure, feeling gross, or being a disappointment to others. It thrives in our social context, feeding off comparisons and evaluations that occur in relationships with others. While many individuals are familiar with this self-deprecating voice, it is essential to recognize that it does not define our true identity.
