Do i have SELF- HATE????

Question

I've always wondered why, when people ask me if I'm from Africa, it get embarrassed.

Why do i feel that way? I mean I'm an African student!

I hate having that feeling... but i just do.

Do you think i hate who i am?

Answer 1

If you are asking this question then you do hate yourself.

Answer 2

It all depends on the situation and how you feel. I can't tell you how you feel. Or know whether or not you have self hate. Sometimes I am embarrassed to be an American. Not that I hate my country but sometimes I do hate some parts of America or how it is represented. That doesn't make me hate myself. Perhaps you should reexamine what it is that makes you embarrassed and go from there. Nobody can tell you that you hate yourself... No one but you anyways.

Answer 3

- I wouldn't call it self-hate; you probably just feel that way because Africa has negative connotations to it

Answer 4

maybe you get mayed fun of so now your ashamed to admit your culture

Answer 5

no you might just feel like a yellow pickled in a jar of green but try to relax ok....God loves all of us...OOO

Answer 6

No, you just aren't sure who you are yet. Don't be embarrassed about your heritage in any way, we all find it fascinating and educational when we are exposed to other cultures. But at the same time, your heritage is not your identity.  

Answer 7

maybe.

or maybe your just ashamed of your race, for some reason.

or you could be embarrassed for many other reasons.
