Self Hate

So today I would like to talk a little about the all too familiar problem that plagues too many ... SELF HATE. Unfortunately many people globally suffer from this horrible problem. The only thing that I would like to clarify about this issue is that it is not something that only minorities suffer from.

Anyone can become vulnerable to self hate regardless of their ethnicity. Self Hate has to do with what one expects to see when they look in the mirror as opposed to what they actually look like. What someone expects to look like can be influenced by society and and beauty standards. What someone actually looks like is what it is regardless to how often society's expectations and beauty standards change.


Self hate begins when what someone expects or would like to look like does not match up with the reality of their appearance. Some examples of self hate include and are not limited to, someone disliking their nose because it does not look the type of nose that they consider beautiful, someone disliking their breast size, height, hair color, body shape or build, hair texture or length.

Some more detailed examples can include a darker haired person who believes that lighter hair is beautiful so now they dislike or "hate" their natural hair color and would like to change it. Another example of self hate could include someone who dislikes their nose shape because they believe that a beautiful nose looks like a shape that is different from their own, therefore they may begin to "hate" their own nose shape and seek to change it by undergoing plastic surgery.

Whether the person who is suffering from self hate that can be soothed by dieting, body building, dying their hair, or getting plastic surgery it is still a very serious problem that is mental and should be treated with counseling and a physical change only as a last resort.

It is un-natural and mentally unhealthy for anyone to dislike what they see in the mirror. This disassociation with the self could fester into self hate and should be treated as soon as possible.

Even though this video below is not theonly form of self hate it is one popular one:
