self-hating
Disgusted with oneself
Self-hating describes someone who feels contempt, shame, or hostility toward an aspect of their own identity, particularly membership in a group.
The term most often appears in phrases like self-hating Jew or self-hating gay, suggesting someone who has internalized negative views about their own community and distances themselves from it or criticizes it harshly.
The accusation can be legitimate or used dismissively to shut down internal criticism within a group.
