A distinction can be made between 'Existential Self-Hate' which is more 'here-and-now', self-imposed, and contextual....and 'Introjected or Character Self-Hate' which has more to do with 'hate messages' that we have incorporated from someone else as a child -- our father, mother, and/or someone else -- i.e., were directed to us as a child from someone else in our immediate environment, were over time 'introjected, internalized, or swallowed whole' into our own personality or character, and now it is our own 'Introjected Self-Hating Superego' that is giving our own 'Rejected Child Underego' the same basic critical and/or hate messages that we remember receiving from that 'external, rejecting transference role model' as a child....This is the essence of a 'Topdog/Underdog Rejection Ego-Split' which is a lot tougher to get rid of because it has been so 'conditioned' into our personality over many, many years....
In one or two upcoming papers, we will see how we can move more from a negative, one down, position of 'self-depression' or 'self-hate' to a much more positive, emotionally uplifting position of 'self-celebration'....
