Self-hatred is linked to a sense of entrapment, and this relationship is partially explained by difficulties in emotion regulation, lower mental well-being, and lower mindfulness. In a survey of 346 university students, those who reported more self-hatred also tended to report feeling more trapped. This link was partly mediated by having more trouble regulating emotions, poorer mental well-being, and less mindfulness. The findings suggest that people who despise themselves may still have some mindfulness but also struggle with emotional control and mental health, which can contribute to feeling confined.
