What is self hatred a symptom of?
Self-hatred is also a symptom of many personality disorders, including borderline personality disorder, as well as mood disorders like depression. It can also be linked to guilt for someone’s own actions that they view as wrongful, e.g., survivor guilt.
What do you call someone who hurts himself?

Why do I criticize myself so much?

How do I stop hating myself?
What now?

Why do I hurt myself when no one helps me?

Why do I Hate Myself for no reason?
It’s fuelled by anger, low self-esteem, and a distorted perception of oneself due to misguided thoughts and self-beliefs. In most cases, self-loathing is the result of having a dysfunctional upbringing. Hating yourself sucks. And it’s more complex than it looks on the surface.
Why do I hate myself so much after a breakup?
One reason why we end up hating ourselves so much is that a relationship ended badly with a toxic person. Many times, we get involved with someone who turns out to have a personality disorder. The narcissism and gaslighting have us believing lies like, “I’m worthless”, “ I’m ugly”, and even “I will never amount to anything ”.
Can We Hate ourselves without suffering?
We can only hate ourselves when there is someone to hate. Without that someone, without that ego, there is no self-loathing, and therefore no suffering.
