A collection of essay by: Shane Dawson
----
From his first vlog back in 2008, to his full-length film directorial debut, Not Cool, Shane Dawson has been an open book when it comes to documenting his life. But behind the music video spoofs, TMI love-life details, and outrageous commentary on everything the celebrity and internet world has the nerve to dish out a guy who grew up in a financially challenged but loving home in Long Beach, California, and who suffered all the teasing and social limitations that arise when you're morbidly obese kid with a pretty face, your mom is your best friend, and you can't get a date to save your life. In I Hate Myselfie, Shane steps away from his larger-than-life internet persona and takes us deep into the experiences of an eccentric and introverted kid, who, by observing the strange world around him, developed a talent that would inspire millions of fans. Intelligent, hilarious, heartbreaking, and raw, I Hate Myselfie is a collection of eighteen personal essays about how messy life can get when you're growing up and how rewarding it can feel when the cleanup is (pretty much) done.

"Because you have parents that love you. You have parents that support you and yet you think your life is so bad just because stupid kids pick on you."
"I... don't have it easy." I mumbled. "You don't know. You can't even imagine how it is. Being bullied every single day just because you're you. They don't even see me as a person, you know? I'm just it. I'm just a thing. I'm not 'Quince the person'. I'm 'Quince the looser', the venting tool, the dirt beneath your feet."
