Origin<\/h2>\n
The meaning or feeling of self-hate has been around for as long as humans have existed. The actual term self-loathing, however, is much younger. The phrase was first seen in script in 1635. It was initially found in the medical text of psychologists and psychiatrists and then was later found in poems and stories. The term has always bounced between self-hate, loathing of self, and self-loathing.<\/p>\n
Over time, the phrase has been used mainly in medical circles and as a part of official diagnoses. It is found in some texts or books that relate to self-esteem, self-worth, or those dedicated to mental health. The word is English in origin and is used all over the world. The actual creation of the word is unknown, but it has maintained the same meaning over time.<\/p>\n
