There really isn't such a thing as self-hate, only the internalisation of the hatred your abusers showed towards you. If you feel you hate yourself, you really don't know jack about how you actually feel about yourself. You're only emotionally repeating the sh*t others have taught you. It makes you become your abusers tool in a continued effort to act out their own learned hatred on someone else but themselfs
I'd never thought of it that way before. That's helped me to have a shift in my thinking, thank you freakofnurture.
Heather, I hope you're feeling a bit better than you did on Wednesday.
