The Psychology of your 20s · 421. Hating yourself will get you nowhere · 25 May 2026 podcast

It's benefiting people who get to sell us things, get to sell us products, get to sell us surgeries that stem from a socially conditioned self-hatred.

And it benefits people who like it when you are small and don't stick up for yourself.

So I think that's kind of all I have for this episode.

I think I have a few more things, but like

I feel like I need to do a part two.

I hope this is just, as much as it's been a ranty episode, been kind of informative and persuasive that you need to get more serious and you need to be more spooky about interrupting your thoughts of self-loathing because they are not A, an accident or B, harmless.

They deeply infiltrate what we think we deserve and

how we behave, how we motivate ourselves, and how we connect with others.

And if we're not careful, especially during this formative period of our lives, they can become the entire basis of our self-belief.

Meaning that the older we get, the harder it comes to reverse.

Not impossible, but the harder it becomes.

And eventually we kind of sit around, survey our lives, and realize all the things I've missed out on have come from the fact that like,

Way back when, when I was a kid, somebody said I didn't deserve to like myself and I thought that they were true, despite all the other evidence that I have every reason to like myself.

And that even the reasons that I have not to like myself aren't as important as the reasons that I do have.

So I think that's all we have time for.

I hope that if you made it this far, you enjoyed this episode.

Share it with a friend if you think that

I don't know if you think they can relate.

I don't know if you think that they could benefit from some of the research and some of the things that we discussed.

Remember that if you are listening to the episode, you can also watch it on Netflix.
