self-disgust

Hating oneself deeply

Self-disgust is a feeling of revulsion or contempt directed at oneself—deeper than embarrassment or shame, it involves finding something about yourself repellent.

It may target one's body, behavior, or character: He looked in the mirror with self-disgust.

The feeling often accompanies depression, addiction, or moral failure: She was filled with self-disgust after the affair.
