{{trope}}
Alice is a wizard, an [[Un -Sorcerer]], a [[Fantastic Racism|superhero mutant]], [[Muggle|a person without superpowers]], a [[Bury Your Gays|homosexual]], a ''[[Het Is Ew|hetero]]''[[Het Is Ew|sexual]], a [[Bondage Is Bad|sadomasochist]], [[A Sinister Clue|left-handed]], or [[All of the Other Reindeer|whatever]]. Whatever such category of people it is she belongs to, it makes her hate and/or reduce herself. And while the trait itself might not be destructive, her [[Irrational Hatred|irrational]] self-hatred ''makes'' it destructive. It might even lead her to ''seriously'' harm herself or others.
 
The trait is always something the character considers herself to ''be'', not something she's considering herself to believe in: If it's her beliefs that get scorned but she keeps her faith in them, she will see the scorners as bad instead of seeing herself as bad. Let's say she eventually gets [[Driven to Suicide]]: If it is out of self-hatred then it is this trope, but if it is because she can't stand the ignorance and narrow-mindedness of other people then it is a variant of [[Too Good for This Sinful Earth]].
