Sometimes I am ashamed of being hispanic but we can’t do anything about it except accept and learn to embrace our culture and our skin.

I used to hate being a woman, but that is no longer the case. There is no easy way to address it, but to come to terms with who you are. Unfortunately this is not a choice we are allowed to make.

I think eventually you become comfortable in your own skin if not there is always the option of becoming a white woman like michael jackson

I’m sorry that you hate what makes you you. If everyone was the same this would be an awful place. Freedom and Diversity are the cornerstone of our country, and I hope you can find the joy in your life that comes from being you.

You put yourself in a terrible spot when you decide to hate something that you can never change. The good thing is that you can change the hate if you learn to embrace the vast qualities of being who you are.

I hate being black. I hate being white. I hate being a woman. I hate being Asian. I hate being whatever. If they are issues that you can’t change, you are expending a lot of energy for no useful purpose. It is essential that you come to terms with it if you want to live a happier life.

those are all superficial reasons. what you are is so much more than that. be proud of your culture–that’s what lets you see things in a different light and largely what makes you who you are on the inside.

I hate being black, I wish I was biracial at least. Ive been trying so hard to change my hair texture for a year now. Ive got nothing till thsi day. Being black makes me want to commit suiside. But when i actually try to,something stops me. It’s just a weird thing being black. Everyone hates me only because of my race. I hate me!!!

when i was young, i hated being asian because other people made treated me badly because of it. it wasn’t until i got older than i realized how wrong that was.
just think about it–if other people didn’t treat you that way, would still still hate being black? if not, then you’re barking up the wrong tree. there are bigots everywhere who will hate you for being black, female, whatever. try not to let them get to you. just remember–it’s not you; it’s them. =)

I hate being bangladeshi. I hate my country and almost everything about it. I hate my breasts. I hate my hairy body. I hate being a woman. I hate that as a woman, my high intelligence does not compensate for looks or shyness. My success and personal qualities are not valued as highly as they are in a man. Yet a man who is less intelligent, driven, attractive and philanthropical than me is more socially valued than I am and has a broad choice of partners.
