It begins with the parts of yourself you refuse to face.
When you ignore your own shame, push aside your guilt, or silence your fear, those parts don’t disappear, they harden. And when a part of your personality feels unwanted long enough, it doesn’t just get quiet. It starts to absorb your frustration. It becomes the target of your self-hatred.
Then something predictable happens:
That same hatred you direct inward starts spilling outward.
You judge others for the feelings you won’t let yourself feel.
You resent people for the needs you won’t acknowledge in yourself.
You fear traits in others that you’ve punished inside yourself.
And for many people, this inner conflict doesn’t stay emotional, it becomes physical. Chronic tension, migraines, stomach issues, weight gain, and even chronic pain can be signals that your body has been carrying feelings it was never designed to hold.
Our bodies weren’t built to live through hatred, not toward others, and definitely not toward ourselves. But everything shifts with one moment of awareness:
“There are parts of me I’ve been neglecting.”
The insecure part. The lonely part. The disappointed, overwhelmed, or sensitive part. The part that learned to cope by shutting down.
When you meet those parts with self-compassion instead of rejection, listening instead of blaming, curiosity instead of punishment, the war inside you begins to calm.
Your emotions soften, and with that softening comes clarity.
You see yourself more honestly.
You see others more generously.
And you start wanting something deeper: the desire for connection.
Connection with your own inner world.
Connection with others, who are also carrying unseen parts.
Connection with the larger meaning behind your life.
And that desire naturally opens you to awe, the quiet realization that you are part of something bigger, that people aren’t your enemies, and that compassion creates understanding.
Awe grows when self-hatred dissolves. And self-hatred dissolves when you stop abandoning the parts of you that need the most love.
