{{tropelist|Specific kinds of Internalized Categorism that are [[Internal Subtrope]]s:}}
* Internalized Homophobia: Gays who hate themselves and/or believe they have to have to do destructive things like having lots of unsafe sex with strangers because they have been taught that "that's how gay people are". For the non-internalized version, see [[Heteronormative Crusader]].
* Internalized Sexism: Women or men hating themselves simply for being born into a certain gender, or deny themselves everything that doesn't fit into a very narrow gender role. (This hatred is about a belief that the gender is inferior or evil or "supposed to behave" in a very limited way, not about being a [[TranssexualTransgender]] and actually desiring to be another sex.) For the non-internalized version, see [[He-Man Woman Hater]] and [[Does Not Like Men]]. See also [[Female Misogynist]].
* Internalized Racism: People hating themselves for their genetic ancestry or ethnicity, or reduce themselves to racial stereotypes. For the non-internalized version, see [[Racist Grandma]].
* Internalized Mutiephobia: [[Marvel Universe|Super-powered mutants]] who hate themselves... or goes "Hey, society consider us evil. So I guess we are. Lets just [[Then Let Me Be Evil|accept our role as a bad race]] and call ourselves ''Brotherhood of evil mutants''. (In the [[The Silver Age of Comic Books|silver age]] comics, this group was evil, period. It was later retconned into having suffered from Internalized Categorism and/or having chosen their name ironically.) For the non-internalized version, see [[Fantastic Racism]].

* In an episode of ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'', a unicorn named The Great And Powerful Trixie comes to town and starts wowing the townsfolk with her flashy magic tricks, but Twilight Sparkle's friends take an instant dislike to Trixie's showoffy nature. Spike sees through the flash and knows that Twilight, who is genuinely talented at unicorn magic, could put her in her place in no time flat, but Twilight (a lifelong bookworm who is sort of new to this whole "having friends" thing) is petrified that any sort of showoffery at all will drive her friends away from her, and refuses. She spends the entire episode insisting that she's nothing special and has no more right to show how talented she is than flash-in-the-pan Trixie; when her talent ultimately saves the day her friends point out that they're proud of Twilight for being special, and it was Trixie's attitude rather than her (ultimately one-note and useless) talent that had their hackles up.
