Right? EXACTLY!
As much as I like self-deprecating humor, this isn't really about self-hate because the model isn't really me and it definitely isn't an actual person.
However, it can still help me gain better visibility about myself and the qualities of me that are usually invisible to me from the interior perspective.
A diagnostic tool, and a way to perhaps address more effectively those qualities of myself which make me uncomfortable.
Almost everybody has at least one experience of realizing, with horror "am I really like that...? oh ... oh no..." and usually it's in public. Not fun!
The prospect of facing these discrepancies in privacy feels a lot less daunting.
