You will always be too much of something for someone: too big, too loud, too soft, too edgy. If you round out your edges, you lose your edge.

And there’s a beautiful twist that happens when you assume your worth: you value other people more. Because when you’re operating from a place of wholeness and value, you see value in other people and you reinforce the belief that there’s enough to go around for all of us. So in this sense, your self-worth is a service to humanity.

How could you think of yourself this way?

In 1990, there was a small gathering of psychologists, scientists, and meditators who came together with the Dalai Lama to explore the topic of healing emotions. Sharon Salzburg was there—she’s a much-adored writer on lovingkindness and happiness, and the co-founder of the Insight Meditation Society in the U.S. Their poignant interaction at the meeting is now legendary.

She asked him, “Your Holiness, what do you think about self-hatred?” Apparently His Holiness looked startled, leaned over to his translator, and emphatically and repeatedly asked for a translation of “self-hatred.” Finally, he looked back to Sharon, and asked, “Self-hatred…what is that?”

Hold up. His Holiness the Dalai Lama, who is considered to be the incarnation of the Bodhisattva of Compassion, didn’t get the concept of self-loathing—something that so many of us westerners know all too well? You know, DOWN on yourself, man. We live this way. When I first heard about this event, I thought, Doesn’t everyone hate themselves to some degree, like, isn’t it just universal human affliction? Apparently not.

Also present at that meeting of great minds was meditation teacher and author Jack Kornfield, who adds to the story. “Then, [the Dalai Lama] asked not only whether we knew what [Sharon] was talking about, but also if we ourselves experienced this self-hatred. And almost all the Buddhist teachers there, representing an entire generation, said ‘yes.’”

With his hallmark humility, the Dalai Lama responded, “I thought I had a very good acquaintance with the mind, but now I feel quite ignorant. I find this very, very strange.”

Some philosophical discussions of this story bring up the point that while it would be hard to say that Tibetan Buddhists and the Dalai Lama have literally never heard of self-hatred or self-aggression, it’s simply not emphasized in their spirituality in the way that it is in the western world. Maybe this is because they didn’t grow up with the Original Sin soundtrack playing in the background of their lives.

Thrown for a loop, His Holiness wanted to explore the concept of self-hatred further. He was not letting it go. “Is that some kind of nervous disorder?” he asked. “Are people like that very violent?” And then he delivered this white hot Truth in the form of a question:

“But you have Buddha nature. How could you think of yourself that way?”
