Euphoria's 'Love Yourself' Scene Showcases Toxic Positivity at Its Worst
geared towards women and young girls. Ad nauseam, we’re told to have self-love and be confident and feel courageous and fight the patriarchy and not adhere to cis, heteronormative standards of beauty and lean into radical self-empathy. Sure, there is an objectively decent message at the root of this rhetoric, but it’s also a massive pile of horse shit. Sometimes, when someone states that they hate themselves, they don’t need to hear an emphatic, empowering response.
After spending years in therapy, off and on, you realize that part of being alive is weathering those days when you just can’t get out of bed. Days when you, as Kat articulates, “fucking hate” yourself. Days when you are entirely faking every seemingly non-negative facial expression or utterance. And that’s normal!!! I don’t need to love myself on days when I fucking hate myself. I can just be in that—however grim—reality.
