What is Self-homophobia = Low Self-Esteem

What is Self-homophobia = Low Self-Esteem
By Dennis Schleicher
Self-homophobia arise form a number of situations. Manifesting from behavior in our guilt of relationships as it might result in hurtful thoughts and feelings towards gays or from our own guilt associated with being gay. Whatever its origin self homophobia as both nonsexual and sexual manifestations, I find these particularly true in married-gay men that are caught secretly living a double life. Ultimately, not being true to the ones they love, which trickles down the chain to themselves. This results in forms of self-destructive time-wasting that forces us away from the task of finding a partner. This can demoralize us, which will lead to a sense of failure, and more Self-homophobia. What exactly is Self-homophobia, warning signs that health care professionals could be looking for;
• Excessive guilt about your anger.
• Excessive guilt about your sexuality.
• Fear and rage toward gays.
• Excessive denial about sexuality in general.
• Not willing to accept yourself and others.
You should understand when it is time to seek professional help as you are suffering from prolonged or any kind of depression that is:
• Making you feel suicidal.
• Keeping you from forming new relationships.
• Robbing you much enjoyment in life.
• Causing you to act self-destructive in Anyway.
Ultimately, the diagnosis must come from your doctor or therapist professionals. Please feel free to post your comments and opinions below.
