* Volume 8 of ''Manga/TheDangersInMyHeart'' contains a reprint of Karte 1 with commentary from Ichikawa and Yamada as they were at the end of that volume (i.e. right after [[spoiler: becoming [[OfficialCouple a couple]]]]). Ichikawa spends the first few pages feeling thankful that Yamada can't read his past self's internal monologue as he cringes at his [[{{Chuunibyou}} murderous fantasies]] from back then.

* In ''Film/LostInSpace'' [[spoiler:Future Smith]] manhandles his past self, utterly disgusted with his petty ambitions, and tosses him away, apparently killing him. His past self is [[FutureMeScaresMe terrified of him]] [[spoiler:since he's mutated into a giant alien spider monster courtesy of a bite he received earlier in the film.]]

** TheStinger for ''Film/Deadpool2'' features this mixing with SelfDeprecation on Creator/RyanReynolds's part: [[spoiler:Deadpool goes back in time to kill Barakapool from ''Film/XMenOriginsWolverine'' and then goes to kill Reynolds before he could star in ''Film/GreenLantern2011''.]]

* PlayedWith in ''Literature/TheRiseOfKyoshi'' and ''Literature/TheShadowOfKyoshi:'' Kyoshi, the current Avatar, thinks rather poorly of [[{{Reincarnation}} her previous incarnation]], Kuruk, who seemingly cared more about a life of hedonism than his duties to the world. She warms up to him after learning about the less public challenges that he had to face during his era.

* ''Series/DeadRingers: Reunion'' counts on this happening with Germaine Greer of 2018 meeting Germaine Greer of TheSixties. Sure enough, the elder Greer mocks her younger, proudly feminist self as a hippie who needs to get laid. Conversely, '60s Greer is horrified and disgusted at her older self's sexism, and storms out of the show.

* This is one of the older Joes' reaction in the ''Website/CollegeHumor'' video "Film/{{Looper}} Has Sex with Himself" when the younger Joe refuses to [[ScrewYourself give the older ones a blowjob]].

* ''Anime America'' began a series in which they look back at videos made years before. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDrP18zgnGM For the first episode,]] Robyn looks back at Top 10 Characters That Need to Go Back to the Drawing Board". She criticizes her past self for having no chill, questions why she put ''Anime/SoulEater'''s Excalibur on the list (present-day Robyn admits that she now accepts that character; ditto for Manga/BoboboboBobobo who appeared as a runner-up) and pokes fun at her past self's pronunciation of "manga".

* ''WebVideo/TheMusicVideoShow'' has this in the [[MilestoneCelebration 100th episode]] where [[spoiler:the third season host say this to the second season host]].
* ''WebVideo/FateStayNightUnlimitedBladeWorksAbridged'': [[spoiler:Archer hates Shirou]], same as in canon, but it's PlayedForLaughs more.
-->'''Shirou:''' [[HeroicSelfDeprecation Nobody gets to say my dream is stupid except me!]]\\
'''[[spoiler:Archer]]:''' [[ExactWords Hey, Shirou! Your dream is stupid!]]
* On the ''WebVideo/DreamSMP'', this is PlayedForDrama, where Ghostbur ''hates'' being reminded of the things "Alivebur" did, and will shut down anyone who tries to talk to him about it. Despite [[GhostAmnesia not remembering]] what he did in life, he's aware that his past self was a horrible person, and is quick to reassure anyone who mentions it that they're not the same. He's even told Phil, his father, that one of the happy memories he remembers from his life was [[spoiler:[[SuicideByCop when Phil]] ''[[OffingTheOffspring ran him through with a sword]]'']].

[[folder:Other Media]]
* [[https://youtu.be/WwviD567_VA?si=djimscXTuVsYlRnq This commercial from NerdWallet]] involves a bunch of old people who hate their young selves because they were not smart with their money and ended up in a BadFuture as a result.
[[/folder]]

* Bill and Ted think this is what's happening in ''[[Film/BillAndTed Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey]]'' when their future selves are rude to them ("I'll have to remember to be nicer to myself when I become him!"), only to discover that the "future selves" are actually {{Killer Robot}}s.

* ''ComicBook/TheAvengers'': ComicBook/KangTheConqueror is a mix of this trope and FutureMeScaresMe, with the ContinuitySnarl that is his publication history resulting in him being locked into an eternal war with past and future versions of himself. ''ComicBook/AvengersForever'' is devoted just to trying to unravel the whole mess.

* ''ComicBook/TheCrossing'': In order to stop a Tony Stark turned evil by Kang, the Avengers go back in time and bring in a Teen!Tony. Present!Tony doesn't care much for this development and promptly runs his arm through the boy's chest.

* ''ComicBook/TheMightyThor'': In ''ComicBook/ThorGodOfThunder2012'', Old King [[Characters/TheMightyThorThorOdinson Thor]] wastes little time expressing his dislike for the two versions of his younger and beardless self Avenger Thor (the present day one) and young Thor (who is seriously lacking the CharacterDevelopment after being banished to Earth) calling them both idiots and whelps and generally looking down upon them. Subverted though as King Thor is actually invigorated by his younger selves and is motivated to kick ass again after spending thousands of years as a DeathSeeker tormented by Gorr. The reason he treats his younger selves so harshly on the surface is likely out of sadness given he has lost almost all his friends and family. On the flip side, the younger Thors are both equally [[FutureMeScaresMe appalled]] at the prospect that in the future they will turn out exactly like their father Odin.

* ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'': A common theme is how Peter is truly ashamed of his younger teenage self for his selfishness and especially the BystanderSyndrome which taught him responsibility. This is frequently seen in [[ComicBook/TheAmazingSpiderManJMichaelStraczynski Straczynski’s run]], where Spidey flashbacks to his school days and the mistakes he made, and the narration boxes detail how much Peter laments his attempts to go with the popular crowd instead of trying to help his friend Charlie Weiderman.

** ComicBook/OldManLogan gets a chance to meet his [[Characters/WolverineJamesLoganHowlett younger self]] in ''Dead Man Logan'', and reveals in his thought bubbles that he’s been dreading an encounter like this. Old Logan notably disparages his young self for making him sound like a “jackass” and he also spites the IWorkAlone mentality of his past self, saying he should go back to the [[TrueCompanions X-Men]] as soon as possible and treasure them. Though Old Logan also tells his younger self to never lose his {{Determinator}} attitude like he did.

* In ''Manga/ASilentVoice'', when Shouya Ishida reflects on the misery caused by his younger self's bullying, he's [[TheAtoner so ashamed of what he did]] that he has an ImagineSpot of his current self stabbing his younger self, with the younger self maintaining a feckless grin the entire time. Subverted the [[Anime/ASilentVoice anime]], Shouya is actually more sympathetic to his troubled younger self as brilliantly shown in the scene where he’s comforting young Yuzuru while she wears the shoes he wore as a kid, his consoling words to Yuzuru while she’s covered by the umbrella are [[https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSWsS2DaOylL0lDBqPZFjWbU0xkBji75p9TEQ&usqp=CAU symbolically framed as him talking to his elementary school self]].

* ''Webvideo/{{React}}'' has special episodes where the reactors have to see themselves in past episodes as Kids\Teens or their audition tapes. Cringing ensues, caused mostly by looks [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0WLbIicdXE#t=54s ("Thank God for puberty!")]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3IqXZWeo9lI#t=73s awkward behavior.]]

* On the ''LetsPlay/DreamSMP'', this is PlayedForDrama, where Ghostbur ''hates'' being reminded of the things "Alivebur" did, and will shut down anyone who tries to talk to him about it. Despite [[GhostAmnesia not remembering]] what he did in life, he's aware that his past self was a horrible person, and is quick to reassure anyone who mentions it that they're not the same. He's even told Phil, his father, that one of the happy memories he remembers from his life was [[spoiler:[[SuicideByCop when Phil]] ''[[OffingTheOffspring ran him through with a sword]]'']].

!!Examples:

[[folder:Fan Works]]
* It's sort of a thing with most ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'' fanfics. Most of them are all about Danny wondering what the hell he was smoking when he had a crush on Paulina, who ends up becoming an AbhorrentAdmirer. This is usually done after revealing his identity as he realized she's just a lunatic
* In Chapter 49 of ''Fanfic/BlazBlueAlternativeRemnant'', Makoto admits to Blake that in the past, she was incredibly bitter and violent towards humans for all the suffering they put her and other Faunus through, and there was a time when she actually considered in taking part in the White Fang's crusade against humanity. She tends to look back on her past self with a lot of self-loathing and hates wondering what she could have become had she never met Tsubaki and Noel.
* This trope, combined with FutureMeScaresMe, is present in Spirit Soldier's LetsWatchOurShowPlot of ''VisualNovel/DanganronpaTriggerHappyHavoc'', ''Fanfic/Class78thWatchesTheFuture'', as the ones watching to the visual novel are, as in the title, Class 78. Since Makoto and Kyoko are able to figure that [[spoiler:the class had lost their memories]], they, minus Mukuro since [[spoiler:she's playing as Junko]] experience how they behaved in the beginning. With them able to see their behavior from the more neutral view of Makoto, some experience frustration with the way they behave, such as Kyoko with [[spoiler:her inability to trust or let go of grudges]], Toko for her paranoia and distrust of others, Kiyotaka for his [[InnocentlyInsensitive insensitivity]] towards [[spoiler:Sayaka being murdered in Makoto's room]] and boisterous attitude to studying, and Byakuya with his arrogance and belief he will never lose.
* ''Fanfic/ACrownOfStars'': In the first chapter, Shinji and Asuka met their six-months-older counterparts. Their older selves poked fun at them and Asuka criticized her younger self for refusing to open up to Shinji and admitting she felt lonely and afraid.
* PlayedForDrama in chapter 73 of ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12425454/73/Dinosaur-King-Retold Dinosaur King Retold]] when Brontikens [[spoiler:finds out from [[GodOfEvil Shi]] that back when he lived in the Jurassic Period, he rose up to dominance as the tyrannical Dinosaur King after his heart was harden by the death of his family. He enforced a survival of the fittest over every dinosaur, he and his children slaughtering everyone in their way [[BeenThereShapedHistory and caused an extinction event that ended the Jurassic Period]]]]. While Brontikens is a SocialDarwinist and was once one of the DragonInChief of the Alpha Squad, [[EvenEvilHasStandards even he's horrified at how monstrous he used to be before his resurrection]].
* While he doesn't hate him, Future Danny from the ''Fanfic/FacingTheFutureSeries'' is visibly annoyed by teenage Danny's lack of rational thought.
* ''Fanfic/ForTheGloryOfIrk'' has a bit of this as part of a major reveal: [[spoiler:Zim created [[RobotBuddy CB]] by using a human AI as a base... an AI that once [[AIIsACrapshoot went insane and tried to nuke humanity]]. CB despises this part of himself and hates being reminded about it.]]
* Bumblebee in ''Fanfic/AGirlAndHerBike'' isn't really fond of his past as a delinquent and thief. He's also not fond of how he supported Megatron given [[BrokenPedestal what became of that]].
* ''Fanfic/HopeOfTheShieldHero'': Itsuki meets Otherworld's Cardinal Heroes... and realizes how stupid he was in the past when the other heroes behave exactly like he did back then. He wonders why Naofumi didn't pound him into the ground.
* Fanfic/HowFriendshipAccidentallySavedMagicalBritain: The shard of Tom Riddle bound to the Diary Horcrux has had fifty years spent in complete isolation with nothing better to do than poring over and analyzing every single word of drivel the Original Tom Riddle wrote in the Diary and has come to several unfavorable conclusions about his other self. For the most part, he considers Voldemort a tosser and an idiot, especially for seriously insisting on using a moniker that they came up with when they were twelve, and also for being a blood supremacist, [[YouAreWhatYouHate considering that Tom himself is a half-blood]].
* PlayedForLaughs and mixed with OtherMeAnnoysMe in an intermission of ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/34346623/chapters/97387632 Hawkmoth Gets a Reference]]'', where Adrien as Aspix lands in a variant of the canon show and runs into Ladybug and Chat Noir. Adrien is very much annoyed with how much ObliviousToLove he used to be regarding his and Marinette's feelings toward each other. After getting it through to Chat's head that Marinette likes him and he likes her more than a friend, Aspix returns to his timeline with a promise to give his girlfriend twice as many hugs and gifts for all the trouble he put her through.
* ''Fanfic/IThinkWellBeOkay'': Kosuke at the beginning of the story is horribly lazy and while she's not ''totally'' inconsiderate of her friends and family's feelings, she'd much rather carry on her poor habits than make an effort to change. [[spoiler:Then her parents are unexpectedly killed in a car accident, leaving her to take care of her younger siblings. The experience makes her a much more mature {{Determinator}}, but she's swamped with guilt for her past actions and how she treated her loved ones.]]
* ''Fanfic/TheInfiniteLoops'':
** The universe sometimes resets wrong, resulting in the loopers meeting their nonlooping selves (an event referred to as a Mini-Me Loop). Since Loopers have had a ''lot'' of character development from their baseline selves, they tend to be annoyed by their non-looping counterparts displaying character flaws they grew out of literal eons ago (the non-loopers in turn tend to be [[FutureMeScaresMe scared of their looping selves]]). Sasuke, for example, has made up with Naruto and can't stand his teenage self's {{Wangst}} and refusal to better himself, while Naruto has matured a good deal and thinks ''his'' teenage self is a complete brat.
--->'''Naruto:''' ''[[[DrowningMySorrows drunk]]]'' Is it wrong to want to beat the shit out of your younger self?\\
'''Sasuke:''' ''[also drunk]'' Seems pretty common to me.
** Many villains who have since made a HeelFaceTurn hate their baseline versions and considering their looping selves to be their "true" self.
** Inversely, there are rare but not unheard of cases where a heroic looper, after an "Expansion" (IE. a new season or entry into canon comes out, and the Loops extend to include its events) will find that their Baseline self has had a FaceHeelTurn, which manages to be both this ''and'' FutureMeScaresMe. This was the case with [[spoiler: [[Series/{{RWBY}} James Ironwood]]]] who had a HeroicBSOD on seein their canon self's actions [[spoiler: during Volume 8]].
* ''Fanfic/JonathanJoestarTheFirstJoJo'': Older Joseph clearly holds distaste for his younger self.
* In ''Fanfic/KyonBigDamnHero'', Kyon thinks that Future!Kyon is arrogant and condescending and that Past!Kyon is incompetent. This is [[PlayingWithATrope played with]], as Kyon [[DiscussedTrope tells Koizumi]] that he mostly [[InvokedTrope annoys himself so that he'll remember things that he'll have to do later]], but this was played straight during a later chapter when Future!Kyon sent a text to Kyon calling him an idiot for not seeking help from Yuki during an encounter with an enemy slider.
* ''Fanfic/OutOfLuck'': After a nightmare over how badly she treated her brother because of her actions, Lynn Jr. is then treated to a recap of the disaster of a trial she made a mess of which landed her in prison. Seeing her ranting like a lunatic while being hauled away was enough to make her vomit. And it's not just her: both the sisters and their parents feel embarrassment over this as well.
* Harry Potter in ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13701065/15/Metagaming Metagaming?]]'' casually refers to his past self as a "well-meaning idiot" over how he first tried to create a society ruled by intelligent and rational people only to then later foster as much hatred between various groups as he could when his first plan failed miserably.
** In the spinoff ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/14034033/1/ For Love of Experimental Time Travel]]'', Harry is initially rather confused as to why he had found Hermione annoying in his first life, especially as she's driven and intelligent, two traits he highly values. Harry quickly decides it was because he was "a prickly little shit" back when he was actually eleven.
* ''Fanfic/MikesNewGhostlyFamily'': Liz Schmidt, a.k.a. Elizabeth Afton, feels nothing but contempt for her past self and actions as Circus Baby, considering her to be a selfish, violent and psychopathic idiot for being willing to kill innocents just to wear one's body as a skinsuit (which was made even worse by her learning that her victim was her own brother Michael) and embraced her former father's goals of murdering children [[WellDoneDaughterGirl just to gain his attention]] even though he [[AbusiveParents never cared for her or any of his children and would let them die]] whenever it would be convenient for him. This became one of the primary reasons why she [[ThatManIsDead abandoned her birth name]] and swore off her loyalty to William Afton, instead switching it over to [[GoodParents Mike Schmidt]]. [[spoiler:When she was playing through Funtime animatronic-related levels in "[[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddysVRHelpWanted Freddy Fazbear Virtual Experience]]" and expressed annoyance at her own video game counterpart failing to find her, she outright described her as a perfect representation of her psychopathic and idiotic past self who deserved every single failure that happened to her.]]
* ''Fanfic/MiraculousAlliance'': Queen Bee and Pipistrello are given painful reminders of their awful histories through their evil alternate counterparts in ''Season 2: Venom''. Both of them [[CharacterDevelopment have grown past such bitchiness]] and make sure their doppelgangers know it.
* Downplayed example in the ''Series/Charmed1998'' fanfic ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/3562774/1/Once-and-Future-Witches Once and Future Witches]]'' when the Charmed Ones of 2007 (just after the series ends) go back in time six years and meet their past selves from late 1999. While Phoebe doesn’t hate her past self, she is embarrassed at her younger self’s flirtatious nature, with the younger Phoebe initially assuming that Chris was her future boyfriend before the older Piper identifies him as her own son.
* ''Fanfic/OneStepBackwardsAndThreeForwards'': Felix utterly ''despises'' how he used to be as Adrien, back in the original reality. Hindsight makes it all too easy to berate himself for his past decisions, as he rarely took his responsibilities as a superhero seriously and [[ExtremeDoormat rarely stood up against]] his father, Chloe, or Lila. In particular, he blames himself for not warning Ladybug about how he'd discovered [[spoiler:Luka's corpse]]; had he done so, they might have been able to prevent [[TheBadGuyWins Hawkmoth's triumph]]. It also doesn't help that he was [[LiteralSplitPersonality split into two]] when reality was rewritten, with Felix getting all of the original Adrien's memories while his other half remains as one of Lila's [[TrophyWife prizes]].
* Non-TimeTravel example in ''Fanfic/PokemonResetBloodlines'' with Misty's Gyarados. He's rather upset when Misty buys a Magikarp aboard the S.S. Anne (partly due to her goal of [[GottaCatchEmAll catching every single Water-type Pokémon]]) because it reminds him of the time he was a puny fish, and he doesn't like it.
* ''Fanfic/PonyPOVSeries'': Shining Armor has a dream where he relives the day he met Princess Cadance. Shining yells at his past self because he only thought about how hot Cadance was and how he wanted to make her his bride. The present Shining says she is not a prize to be won and he should have focused on her incredible personality and kindness. Shining also gets upset because his past self was a TerribleArtist.
-->'''Present Shining Armor:''' ...Sweet Celestia was I really this corny?
* In ''Fanfic/PurpleDays'', Joff can't help but utterly loathe the stupid, sadistic asshole he used to be.
* ''Manga/ReTake'': Asuka feels somewhat vitriolic toward her past self, particularly when she enters into a romantic relationship with Shinji, whom future Asuka has much more reason to hate. There's also some self-loathing and jealousy involved.
* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9763850/12/Reconciliation Reconciliation]]'', Asuka and Shinji [[PeggySue travel back in time]] and find their somewhat younger, pre-Third Impact selves. Promptly Shinji [[GetAHoldOfYourselfMan punches his counterpart]] [[WhatTheHellHero for never helping or consoling Asuka]], not even after her MindRape, and Asuka slaps her younger self for never helping Shinji with his own issues.
* ''Fanfic/ARedRoseInTheBlueWind'': Amy still has a crush on Sonic, but is shown to be embarrassed and ashamed of the StalkerWithACrush attitude she had towards him when she was younger.
* ''Fanfic/RiseOfTheMinisukas'': Minisuka Shiki generally despises normal Asuka since she reminds her of the person that Shiki used to be.
* ''Fanfic/RWBYEpicOfRemnant'': Just like the regular EMIYA, EMIYA Alter hates his past self Shirou Emiya. He's horrified when he becomes a teenager again. While his skin is still black, his eyes are still yellow, and his hair is still white, his face and body look like Shirou's again.
* ''Fanfic/TheSecondTry'': Discussed. Asuka thinks her younger self would hate her since during her CharacterDevelopment she forsook all that she had lived for during her childhood and became a very different person who does not mind showing her emotions, letting others close and loves being [[spoiler:a wife and a mother.]] Shinji disagrees, stating she is being too hard on herself. Straight after he states he thinks his deeply insecure, self-loathing, shy younger self would be shocked at seeing him... but he does not hate him since he knows why he was so full of insecurities and neurosis.
* In ''Fanfic/AStickySituation'', this is fairly true for Impmon. And for [[FamilyUnfriendlyViolence good]][[FamilyUnfriendlyDeath reason]] and that's not even considering his canon actions.
* ''Fanfic/AThingOfVikings'': During her talk with Hiccup in Chapter 2, Astrid admits that she is not fond of how she treated him in the past
-->'''Astrid:''' Sure, I didn't taunt you like Snotlout and the others did, but I ''never'' tried to stop them either. Not ''once''. And then… I showed up to ''bully'' the secret of how you were doing so well out of you. Because I knew that that would ''work''. That I could just scare and ''beat'' it out of you and then I'd be 'better' than you, that you were somehow cheating. And now… I'm ''really'' angry with myself about that.
* In Twisted Hilarity’s ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/4306329/1/Uke Uke]]'', there is a point where [[spoiler:Sesshomaru finds the well and goes through it to meet his future self, and his future self is... shall we say, less than pleased with how he remembers himself behaving toward his new mate, Manga/InuYasha]]. [[NobleDemon Future Sesshomaru]] [[OhNoYouDidnt decides to]] [[NoHoldsBarredBeatDown teach himself]] [[HannibalLecture a lesson]]. [[CatharsisFactor It is arguably the best damned scene in the story thus far.]]
* A variation occurs in ''[[Fanfic/WednesdayAndTheWeepingAngel Wednesday and the Shifter]]'', where Adult Wednesday does not get along with teen Wednesday.
* In ''Fanfic/WhenSheSmilesFreshC'', Asuka loses her memories after the end of the world. No matter how hard she tries, she cannot get her memories back, but she has the feeling that she dislikes her past, pre-amnesia self.
-->'''Asuka:''' ''"She's a selfish little girl who only looks out for herself. But the irony is that she doesn't even like herself! She's rude, she's mean, and she's unkind. And she would throw any one of us under a bus to get what she wants. But she doesn't even know what she wants! And the things that she thinks she wants... she's too afraid to get them. She's a weak, cowardly, disgusting bitch! I hate her! Why do I have to be her?"''
* In ''Fanfic/WhiteDevilOfTheMoon'', Nanoha, who is the reincarnation of Princess Serenity, strongly disapproves of the Princess' actions during the era of the Moon Kingdom, (particularly running away and falling in love with Endymion despite [[LoveRuinsTheRealm the myriad risks]], and killing herself after his death).

[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
* In an episode of ''Series/Charmed1998'', Paige goes back in time to when she was seventeen and is horrified to realize what a brat she was at that age.
* ''Series/DoctorWho'':
** This is a recurring theme in multi-Doctor stories, which inevitably end up with the various incarnations of the Doctor bickering with each other, such as the Third and Second Doctors in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS10E1TheThreeDoctors The Three Doctors]]" and the Sixth and Second Doctors in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS22E4TheTwoDoctors The Two Doctors]]". In the former, it's suggested that the reason the Doctor seemingly can't stand himself is that he's actually more like his past/future selves than each self would care to admit.
** The First Doctor is often a notable exception, especially in the ExpandedUniverse. Whenever a later incarnation interacts with him, they tend to see him as a voice of reason and hold him and his advice in high regard. He also has enough of a commanding presence to convince all of his later incarnations to put aside any differences they might have and focus on working together on the task at hand. In contrast, more straightforward cases of the trope occur in "[[Recap/DoctorWho2017CSTwiceUponATime Twice Upon a Time]]", with the Twelfth Doctor being ''mortified'' by his older self's old-fashioned, occasionally sexist behavior[[note]]which the novelization explained as the First Doctor's expression of the traditional future-Doctor-disliking as intentional hamming-up of his behavior to get a rise out of Twelve[[/note]], and the Big Finish audio "[[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWhoTEAS6E2DaughterOfTheGods Daughter of the Gods]]", where the Second Doctor is frustrated by the First Doctor's relative youth and immaturity in his lack of cooperation to SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong in the story's events, particularly with it involving the life of their unfortunate companion Katarina.
** In "[[Recap/DoctorWho20thASTheFiveDoctors The Five Doctors]]", after the past Doctors return to their respective timelines, the present Doctor (the fifth one) says "I am not the man I was... thank goodness." This implies that while he might not exactly ''hate'' his past selves, he considers them phases he's since outgrown.
** In "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS21E7TheTwinDilemma The Twin Dilemma]]", Six states that he hated having been Five, telling Peri that "he had a feckless charm that was never really (him)." In "[[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWho100 The 100 Days of the Doctor]]", he did, however, grudgingly admit he had truly enjoyed his time as Five and compared it to "a holiday. A very wonderful holiday," and confessed that his dislike of his time as Five was not really aimed at Five himself, but actually stemmed from [[TheChewToy the way the universe was treating him at the time]].
** Likewise, Seven was not too fond of Five either, remarking that he was "bland, and not even one of the good ones".
** This is subverted in the short "[[Recap/DoctorWho2007CiNSTimeCrash Time Crash]]", where the Fifth and Tenth Doctors briefly meet. Five doesn't recognize his future self at first and is mostly annoyed that this baffling stranger has broken into his ship and is babbling on about hair and celery. Finally, he works it out, and the two of them share a touching moment. Ten reveals that Five was ''his'' favorite Doctor, and he loved being him.[[note]]Which is more like Creator/DavidTennant [[AscendedFanboy geeking out over]] Creator/PeterDavison, who by the way [[HilariousInHindsight is also now Tennant's father-in-law]][[/note]] Likewise, Five softens up and takes an immediate liking towards Ten, invested in becoming his future self one day. Unfortunately, Five doesn't learn the whole truth about Ten and goes about his merry way thinking Ten will be a happy chapter in his future, without discovering that the chapters that precede him will be very dark, such as the inevitable Time War that will eventually scar his future incarnations, and the menacing side of Ten's personality hiding beneath the surface.
** However, in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E13JourneysEnd Journey's End]]", the Tenth Doctor pretty much states that he thinks he's "a better man" than the Ninth and that his previous incarnation was more violent than him.
** Conversely, Ten shows an evident dislike for the actions he took in the Last Great Time War. Whether this is regret for being forced into these actions or outright disgust that he made so many foolish decisions in the Time War was never made clear. [[spoiler: This is likely due to Ten, by virtue of a TemporalParadox, not remembering the events of [[Recap/DoctorWho50thASTheDayOfTheDoctor "The Day of the Doctor"]], where he firsthand learns that neither the War nor Ninth Doctor is responsible for the destruction of Gallifrey, and still views them as abhorrent. It's shown that he forgives the War Doctor and hinted that he does the same with the Ninth by his Eleventh incarnation.]] Nine and Ten are shown to get along just fine, however, in the comic event "The Lost Dimension" when the two team up with the Twelfth Doctor. Nine even puts his arm around Ten's shoulders when [[spoiler: offering to take his displaced incarnations and their companions back to their [=TARDISes=]]].
** The Eleventh seemingly has no problem with the Ninth, however, as in the audio "Night of the Whisper", he leaves a lighthearted jest of an apology for the Ninth's ears. This may be due to the Eleventh [[spoiler:learning and remembering the War Doctor's role in the Time War and being aware that neither he nor the Ninth did what was once thought, finally forgiving them, unlike his Tenth incarnation who harboured a dislike for his predecessor]].
** The short "[[Recap/DoctorWho50thPrequelTheNightOfTheDoctor The Night of the Doctor]]" shows that the Eighth Doctor was actively avoiding getting involved in the war, but then decided to regenerate into "a warrior". The War Doctor is considered something of a traitor to the Doctor's legacy by subsequent regenerations, and when Eleven encountered him in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS33E13TheNameOfTheDoctor The Name of the Doctor]]", he expressed disgust.
** A downplayed version comes with the War Doctor himself. In "Lighting the Flame", which takes place shortly after his regeneration, he expresses a genuine sense of nostalgia for his time as Eight, musing on how full of hope he was back then, but he also thinks that it was incredibly naive and foolish of Eight to think that he could just stay out of the Time War forever.
** A strange version in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS32E6TheAlmostPeople The Almost People]]". The Doctor has [[spoiler: been duplicated, making a replica exactly like the original. However, while still stabilizing, this ganger has to cope with all his memories and starts being consumed by past regenerations. At one point he starts speaking with Ten's voice -- before breaking out of it and shouting "We've moved on!"]] It doesn't necessarily mean that Eleven hates Ten, but considering the low point of the regeneration, there might be some hard feelings.
** Given what Eleven has said about himself ''in general'', not any one specific version, it may be the fact that ''every'' other Doctor's face is the face of actions the Doctor detested having had to take.
** In the ''AudioPlay/BigFinishDoctorWho'' audio drama "[[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWhoSpecialsExcelisDawns Excelis Dawns]]", the Fifth Doctor regards his past self as a careless freewheeler who thought he was invincible. His words strongly suggest that he was referring to the Fourth Doctor in particular. This is in response to Iris Wildthyme's remark that the Doctor isn't as fun as he used to be. The Doctor remarks that [[spoiler:Adric's death]] came as a wake-up call. In the Doctor's personal timeline, Tegan's abrupt departure [[spoiler:due to her disgust at the violence plaguing the Doctor's travels]] has yet to happen as of this story.
** In the novel ''[[Recap/EighthDoctorAdventuresTheEightDoctors The Eight Doctors]]'', it is revealed that the Eighth Doctor didn't like the Seventh Doctor very much. The reasons may be due to the Seventh's reputation as TheChessmaster. Seven was prone to making cold, calculating decisions that would sometimes cross into greyer morality lines.
** In the ''Literature/DoctorWhoNewAdventures'', Seven in turn had issues with Five and Six. In ''[[Recap/DoctorWhoNewAdventuresTimewyrmRevelation Timewyrm: Revelation]]'', Five represented the Doctor's conscience in his mental world, and Seven sealed him away out of what he thought to be necessity, until Ace freed him, reintegrating him into the Doctor's mind. In ''Head Games'', Six represented Seven's guilt over his morally dubious actions; it took until ''The Room With No Doors'' for Seven to come to terms with himself on that score.
** Subverted and played straight in "[[Recap/DoctorWho50thASTheDayOfTheDoctor The Day of the Doctor]]". Ten and Eleven get along just fine most of the time, even moving in sync at times. However, they still can't stand [[{{Unperson}} their previous self, the War Doctor]]. [[spoiler:This changes at the end, when they not only decide to join in on doing but also ''avert'' [[MoralEventHorizon the thing that they hated him for]]. They then part on good terms with each other.]] The War Doctor starts off unimpressed with them, thinking they are nothing more than {{Man Child}}ren, and as soon as he figures out who they are (having assumed that they're future companions) demands to know if he's going through a midlife crisis. After seeing them in action, however, his opinion does a complete 180 and he considers them better than him, even to be great, remarking, "Great men are forged in fire. It is the privilege of lesser men to light the flame," with himself being the lesser man. That and their willingness to share the burden with him leads him to decide his future is in good hands. As for [[spoiler: [[Creator/TomBaker the Curator]], [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall he describes the Fourth Doctor]] as one of his favorites, and seems amicable with Eleven]].
** Played straight in the ''Magazine/DoctorWhoMagazine'' comic ''Hunters of the Burning Stone''. Eleven states he has nothing but contempt for One, even going so far as to glare at a psychic projection of his past self several times. When Ian tries to point out all the good things he did in his first regeneration, Eleven counters that it was he and Barbara that kept him doing the right thing.
** In the audio reconstruction of the Troughton story "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS4E3ThePowerOfTheDaleks The Power of the Daleks]]", narrated by the Fourth Doctor as if he's recounting a story from his life, he seems to regard his regeneration from the First Doctor into the Second Doctor as a significant downgrade, questioning his own decision to trade [[GentlemanAndAScholar long white hair and cold dignity]] for hyperkinesis, scruffiness, and flamboyance. It should be observed that [[ObliviousToHisOwnDescription the Fourth Doctor's personality is much closer to the latter type, and he also succeeded a coldly dignified, white-haired Doctor]]... He also occasionally pauses the story to cringe about just how embarrassing his own actions are.
** Averted with the Eleventh Doctor in the Fourth Doctor audio story in which he [[EarlyBirdCameo cameos]] ("Babblesphere"), where both of them seem to like each other an awful lot -- [[spoiler:and the Curator, a far future Doctor who has taken on the Fourth Doctor's form and personality, seems immediately fond of and affectionate towards the Eleventh in "[[Recap/DoctorWho50thASTheDayOfTheDoctor The Day of the Doctor]]"]].
** Also averted in the audio story "[[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWhoSpecialsTheLightAtTheEnd The Light at the End]]", where the Eighth Doctor is especially fond of the Fourth Doctor, with a lot of their personality quirks and tastes in common, and they get along easily. And subverted with the Eighth and the Sixth -- the Eighth finds him somewhat obnoxious and [[IWasQuiteAFashionVictim his fashion sense embarrassing]] as expected, but at the same time has a great deal of respect for him, more so than any of the others do. He certainly prefers him to the Seventh.
** "[[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWho169TheWrongDoctors The Wrong Doctors]]" sees the Sixth Doctor teaming up with a younger version of himself. The older version of Six has by this point undergone quite a bit of a CharacterArc and [[CharacterDevelopment has mellowed considerably out as a result]], and as such he finds his younger self's more unabashed and arrogant attitude absolutely intolerable.
** On the promotional site for the revived series, "Who Is Doctor Who?", a sighting of the Ninth Doctor states that he was in a heated argument with a "little man holding an umbrella", an obvious reference to the Seventh. In the novel ''The Eight Doctors'', it's stated that the Seventh isn't much liked by any of his other incarnations.
** In "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS34E5TimeHeist Time Heist]]", the Twelfth Doctor uses this trope to deduce [[spoiler:both that the person who hired them to rob the bank was the future self of the bank's owner, who despises what her past self has done, and that the mysterious Architect who masterminded the heist is himself (prior to wiping his mind to prevent telepathic incursion) because nobody else could annoy him that much]].
** In the Titan Comics mini-series ''[[ComicBook/DoctorWhoFourDoctors Four Doctors]]'', Twelve and Ten don't get on -- in large part because Ten is worried about just how he gets the extra incarnations to become Twelve, and Twelve is... well, series 8 Twelve, who's not the easiest person to get on with -- so Eleven acts as mediator. However, Twelve averts this with [[spoiler:Nine, who he describes as being nothing less than "fantastic"]].
** In "Heralds of Destruction", a Titan Comics mini-series written by Paul Cornell, [[Creator/JonPertwee the Third Doctor]] meets [[Creator/PatrickTroughton his immediate predecessor]] and much bickering ensues, as it did [[Recap/DoctorWhoS10E1TheThreeDoctors when they first met]]. Ultimately averted in that it turns out to be [[Recap/DoctorWhoS5E4TheEnemyOfTheWorld would-be dictator Ramón Salamander]] impersonating the Second Doctor to steal TARDIS technology.
** There is a series of three Big Finish stories featuring two incarnations of the Master, the decayed Geoffrey Beevers one and the bald Alex [=MacQueen=] one. They attempt to kill each other a few times (with the future Master having access to a device that would prevent killing his past self from also killing him) before they team up. But even when they do, they don't get along for reasons that are purely practical (as the Seventh Doctor points out, there can't be ''two'' Masters, it is in the name) as well as personal (twice Beevers!Master kills people before [=MacQueen=] can make a pun about their death, irritating him to no end). The [=MacQueen=] version states that if he has to be stuck with a past version of himself, he'd have preferred "the snake" (Eric Roberts), or "Mr. Velveteen" (the Ainley version) and talks about how fun it was when it was all 'pointy beards and Nehru jackets' (the original Delgado version).
** Played with in the episodes "World Enough and Time" and "The Doctor Falls". Missy is indeed horrified at her previous incarnation's evil tendencies, but is still willing to be corrupted back into them; while Saxon!Master is [[FutureMeScaresMe disgusted that a future incarnation of his]] could potentially turn good.
* ''{{Series/Dollhouse}}'': Interestingly played with. One of Alpha”s first acts as a Rogue (after killing several people) was to destroy the wedge that held his murderous original personality. Could make him a {{Hypocrite}},since he went on a silent killing spree of his own afterwards, hidden from the Dollhouse's prying eyes. An implied reason is that he hated Carl Craft because he went into his AGodAmI perspective after the composite event, making him "better". Played straight(er), however, in “Epitaph Two”, since he was afraid of Carl Craft awakening after he helped liberate the other Dolls, prompting his exit.
* In ''Series/TheFlash2014'', [[spoiler:Savitar, the BigBad of Season 3, is revealed to be a psychotic future Time Remnant of Barry himself, resulting from a StableTimeLoop. It turns out that future Barry created a host of Time Remnants of himself to fight Savitar, who let one live to eventually turn into him. This Time Remnant was eventually driven insane after Team Flash rejected him for not being the "real" Barry Allen, ultimately taking up the mantle of Savitar to get revenge against Barry and the team]].
* In ''Series/{{Fringe}}'', especially in season 5, Walter fears becoming the man he used to be [[spoiler: before William Bell removed those pieces of himself. Those pieces had to be reinserted in ''Letters of Transit'' as Walter's brain had become damaged due to spending years in amber]].
* In an episode of ''Series/HerculesTheLegendaryJourneys'', when Hercules and Autolycus get sent into the past, Autolycus gets annoyed by his rude past self and punches him out. Wouldn't be the first time Creator/BruceCampbell [[Franchise/EvilDead hates someone who looks just like him]].
* ''Series/GameOfThrones'': Although no time travel is involved, in Season 6 Sansa remarks to Jon that she hates how naive she used to be and regrets how she took her home and family for granted. She also feels bad for being [[BigBrotherBully "an ass"]] to Jon.
-->'''Sansa to Jon:''' Don't you wish we could go back to the day we left? I want to scream to myself "Don't go, you idiot."
* Ted of ''Series/HowIMetYourMother'' damns his and Marshall's past selves for not making a decision on the apartment.
* ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow'':
** Dr. Martin Stein meets his young self from 1975 and instantly starts to dislike him, calling him arrogant and complaining about him smoking pot and eating fatty foods. When Jax confronts him about it, Stein admits that he knows he's complaining about himself but can't help it. He also doesn't like his past self having the hots for Sara Lance, especially on the day he's supposed to meet his future wife. In a later episode, he berates his younger self (who has deduced who the older Martin is since their original meeting) for ignoring his wife in pursuit of science. That bit of advice has unexpected consequences when Stein returns to the present [[spoiler: and finds he suddenly has a daughter in her thirties]].
** Mick Rory also isn't very fond of his teenage self when he's brought into protective custody on the ship. He doesn't try to hide his hostility - or his approval when Sara's younger self slaps the kid for trying to rather creepily hit on her.
** Inverted with Leonard Snart, who seems very fond of little Leo, still innocent before his father goes to prison and comes out bitter and abusive, forcing his son into a life of crime.
** Played straight with Damien Darhk, who ends up facing off against his no-nonsense assassin self from TheSixties.
--->'''Damien Darhk''': I am going to kick my ass!
* In the American version of ''Series/{{Life on Mars|2008}}'', Sam is afraid of talking to himself as a child.
* ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000''. [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S08E21TimeChasers In one episode]], Crow plays with the TimeyWimeyBall to tell his past self of 30 minutes ago to not convince Mike to quit his temp job. It escalates into an argument, with Crow muttering about what a jerk he was 30 minutes ago.
* ''Series/OnceUponATime'':
** Prince Charming openly admits that he isn't a big fan of David Nolan, his curse self. He calls him "weak" and "confused" and says that David hurt the woman he loved. However, he also says that he wouldn't trade away his memories of David, because they remind him of who he wants to be.
** Captain Hook also gets a dose of this when he and Emma are whisked back through a time portal to the Enchanted Forest of old, where they encounter past-Hook in all his drunken, roguish glory. After witnessing Emma distract past-Hook by flirting with him, Hook makes his dissatisfaction known by punching his past self right in the face - a clear message that Hook has changed from the man he was by [[LoveRedeems Emma]].
* ''Series/TheOrville'': In the episode "[[Recap/TheOrvilleS2E13TomorrowAndTomorrowAndTomorrow Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow]]", a temporal accident causes Kelly's self from seven years earlier to appear on the ship. Present Kelly is soon annoyed by how her past self is judging her not by all she's done (like becoming first officer on a flagship) but by not having her own command by now as she always promised herself.
-->'''Kelly:''' Every mature person has to make peace with the fact they used to be dumber. But they don't have to look that proof in the face.
* Thoroughly and completely averted in ''Series/TheOuterLimits1995'' episode "[[Recap/TheOuterLimits1995S2E1AStitchInTime A Stitch in Time]]". After saving her 15-year-old self from the rapist who kidnapped her, Dr. Theresa Givens is delighted at having spared that version of herself the trauma that she experienced, allowing her to lead the normal life that she was denied.
* ''Series/RedDwarf'':
** In the episode "[[Recap/RedDwarfSeasonIIITimeslides Timeslides]]", Lister goes back in time to visit his teenage self, who turns out to be an authority-hating punk who believes everything is 'crypto-fascist'.
** In a later time-travel episode, "[[Recap/RedDwarfSeasonXIGiveAndTake Give and Take]]", when the crew are taking a lift in the past, and the lift reports that Past-Rimmer is getting annoyed waiting for it, Present-Rimmer says "Ignore him, he's an idiot!" When Cat says "But he's you", Rimmer replies "He's ''past'' me. Present me is a lot smarter." They've travelled back ''three days''.
* ''Series/SamanthaWho'' was about a woman with amnesia, who as she put her life back together was appalled to discover what an awful person she had been.
* In the ''Series/SirArthurConanDoylesTheLostWorld'' episode "Absolute Power", Summerlee is shown a vision of the time he was caring for his ill wife. He left her alone, unable to stand seeing her in this state, and she died before he got back. Summerlee angrily yells at his past self and calls him a fool, but he unfortunately cannot change anything.
* In the ''Series/{{Smallville}}'' episode "[[Recap/SmallvilleS10E04Homecoming Homecoming]]", Clark Kent gets sent to the future and [[MyFutureSelfAndMe meets his future self]]. His future self is a little annoyed by him for being naive and resistant to being a superhero but works with him since not even Superman can stop two disasters at once.
* ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'':
** In "[[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS6E14Tapestry Tapestry]]", Picard dies from his artificial heart failing him, and he encounters Q in what seems to be the afterlife. After much prodding by Q, Picard reveals that he regrets getting into a BarBrawl against Nausicaans ([[ContinuityNod mentioned in an earlier episode]]), suffering a near-fatal wound to his heart, which is how he wound up with his artificial heart. Picard hates his younger self for how hot-headed and arrogant he was going into the brawl. So he gets the opportunity by Q [[SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong to go back to avert the brawl]], but it makes Picard a lowly lieutenant in a "new" future who ultimately doesn't stand out in any sense. [[TricksterMentor Q shows that if he hadn't been that arrogant young man, he'd never have become the kickass captain we know and love]]. Picard also expresses disgust for his skirt-chasing, two-timing ways.
--->'''Q:''' You never told me you were such a ladies' man.\\
'''Picard:''' I wasn't. I was a puerile adolescent who allowed himself to be led by his hormones instead of his head.
** In "[[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS6E22SecondChances Second Chances]]", Riker discovers that a [[TeleporterAccident transporter accident]] duplicated him several years ago, he got out, the other him was stranded on a planet they were surveying, and despite all of this, both men are equally William T. Riker. Riker is annoyed by the youthful attitudes and social difficulties of the other.
** In "[[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS7E20Firstborn Firstborn]]", Worf's son Alexander grew up rejecting the way of the warrior, but this caused him to be unable to save Worf from getting killed. He finds a way to travel back in time, then after passing himself off as a family friend named K'mtar, attempts to help Worf train Alexander to be a warrior. K'mtar becomes increasingly disgusted by Alexander's soft heart and weakness, then ultimately loses his temper and tries to kill him. Fortunately, Worf stops him, and after K'mtar explains who he is and what he was trying to do, Worf convinces him to return to his own time, as he had already changed history by going back, so Worf could survive. Even if he doesn't, Worf will always be proud of him.
* In the ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'' finale "[[Recap/StarTrekVoyagerS7E23Endgame Endgame]]", when Admiral Kathryn Janeway from the future (who has admittedly become an InsaneAdmiral as per Starfleet regulations) travels back to the past, it quickly becomes apparent that she simply cannot stand her younger self, and spends a fair amount of time [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech chewing her out]].
* ''Series/TheTwilightZone1985'': In "The Girl I Married", Ira Richman is confronted with the spirit of UsefulNotes/TheSixties version of his wife Valerie and spends several days with her. He later learns that Valerie has been doing the same thing with a younger version of him. As soon as all four of them are in the same room, the older Ira and Valerie realize that they find their hippie selves irritating. Ira tells them that they have no idea what real love is, saying that it is about commitment. He also finds his younger self's mellow attitude very grating. After they disappear, Valerie has a hard time believing that they were ever really that arrogant, naive, and pompous.

[[folder:Video Games]]
* In ''VideoGame/{{Bayonetta}}'', [[spoiler:Bayonetta thinks Cereza is an annoying little brat, but gradually warms up to her. However, it isn't until later that she learns Cereza is her younger self. Since she has amnesia, she didn't remember meeting her future self. Meanwhile, Cereza meeting her future self [[StableTimeLoop was what inspired her to stop being a scaredy-cat and grow up to be a badass]]]].
* ''VideoGame/BioShockInfinite'' has [[spoiler:Father Comstock, the BigBad of the game, who is also a version of the protagonist, Booker [=DeWitt=] from an alternate universe who underwent a baptism following the Massacre at Wounded Knee, got a new name, and found religion. Comstock has nothing but scorn for the Booker we play as, from a universe where he ''refused'' the baptism, believing him to be a godless, self-destructive "False Shepard"]].
* ''Franchise/BlazBlue'': Hakumen has [[ThatManIsDead renounced his old identity]] as [[spoiler:Jin Kisaragi]]. He considers killing his "past incarnation" to be atonement for his/[[spoiler:Jin]]'s sins.
* In ''[[VideoGame/CityOfHeroes City of Villains]]'', one villain "morality mission" has you meet three future versions of yourself, two of which think you're an idiotic weakling. [[spoiler:The third is TheAtoner, whose pleas for you to do the right thing you ignore.]]
* In the last set of levels of ''VideoGame/CrashBandicoot4ItsAboutTime'', [[spoiler:Cortex decides to use the quantum masks to keep himself from creating Crash. However, all efforts to warn his past self fall on deaf ears, with his past self calling him an imposter and ignoring everything he says]].
-->[[spoiler:'''Cortex:''' Do you have any idea how stubborn I used to be?]]\\
[[spoiler:'''Aku Aku and Coco:''' [[BluntYes Yes]].]]
* In ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry5'', [[spoiler:Vergil's human-side SoulJar V expresses explicit regret and shame over his evil actions in the past when he was whole, citing his pride as appalling and hates how delusional and power-hungry his evil side Urzien is. Sadly, it's unclear how much of this CharacterDevelopment has stuck after V refuses with Urzien back into Vergil, at most Vergil has mellowed out a little. Urzien, for his part, seems to regard his existence as Vergil as a weakness, as he was still weighed down by his pesky half-human nature. He even refuses to listen when Dante explains that their mother died searching for him rather than abandoning him, as Vergil believed]].
* ''VideoGame/Fallout4'':
** Robert Joseph [=MacCready=] was a little shit [[VideoGame/Fallout3 when he was a child and the self-proclaimed mayor of Little Lamplight]], being confrontational, rude, and [[SirSwearsALot potty-mouthed to the extreme]]. Now, as a fully grown young man, he recognizes how much of a little shit he was and matured into a more level-headed professional gun-for-hire, who also has made a point of [[GoshDangItToHeck cutting the profanity out of his language whenever he can]].
** Hancock [[spoiler:couldn't forgive himself when he allowed his brother, Mayor [=McDonough=] of Diamond City, to exile all of the city's ghoul citizens and leave them to the mercy of the wastes. This is part of the reason why he took the super-radioactive drug that led to his own ghoulification: he felt he had no right to maintain his humanity]].
** Deacon [[spoiler:in [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness one of the precious few times he tells the truth]], expresses remorse for his involvement in a gang that made trouble for reformed synths, leaving the gang after they murdered an innocent synth in cold blood, then later exterminating the gang when they murdered the woman he fell in love with, herself a synth]].
* In ''VideoGame/FateSamuraiRemnant'', Saber's legend remembers them as a great Japanese hero. But Saber sees it very differently. [[spoiler:Under the orders of their father, Emperor Keiko, Takeru slaughtered innumerable people, including their own brother. They deceived the people of Kumaso before massacring its inhabitants. When Iori dives into Saber's memories, he sees them standing alone in a lifeless field with DullEyesOfUnhappiness while the screams of men, women, and children ring in their ears.]]
* ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'':
** In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'', a big part of Cloud's character is how he dislikes and is ashamed of the apparent loser he was before joining SOLDIER and getting FakeMemories, thanks in part to getting wrongly blamed for Tifa injuring herself by her father -- resulting in him lashing out at people and moreover for failing to become a first-class SOLDIER like he promised. It's inferred that Cloud accepted Zack's persona and memories because he genuinely believed he was nothing otherwise. It takes a JourneyToTheCentreOfTheMind with Tifa for Cloud to regain his original personality and some more development for Cloud finally [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre realise his own worth]] as a hero.
** The normally [[TheStoic stoic]] Auron in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'' actually ''attacks'' his past self when confronted with a phantom echo of his past in the ruins of Zanarkand. Since it's only an echo, he ends up fruitlessly shouting and swinging his sword to no effect.
* In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses'', this trope occurs sometimes in the timeskip:
** In his A-Support with Byleth, Lorenz confesses that he is ashamed of his previous personality, he has since been striving toward a much more ideal version of how a noble should act.
** Marianne is shocked and horrified at how arrogant and foolish her younger self was; even in spite of her nonexistent ego. She was ashamed to act as if death meant nothing to her, never caring whether she lived or died. After seeing many people die around her, she begins to realize how precious life truly was.
* ''VideoGame/GodOfWar'':
** In ''VideoGame/GodOfWarPS4'', Kratos is deeply ashamed of his past as the Ghost of Sparta. He can never truly erase his past either since he still bears the scars of his past life such as the ashes of his dead family grafted on his skin and the burn marks on his arms from the Blades of Chaos. When he settled in Midgard he tried his best to start anew, quietly starting a new family [[spoiler:and burying the Blades of Chaos beneath his house.]] Throughout the game, he reacts to reminders of his bloody past with disgust and shame. In one scene he comes across a jar decorated with an image of the Ghost of Sparta standing atop a pile of bodies screaming at the heavens. Kratos stares at the jar for a moment in horror before hurling it at the ground to keep Atreus from seeing it [[spoiler:though Atreus still sees the image of his father as the Ghost of Sparta on a large piece of the jar]]. One of the reasons Kratos' relationship with his son is so strained is because he doesn't want his son to know his past. It's only at the end of the game that he realizes he shouldn't keep hiding the truth from Atreus anymore.
** In ''VideoGame/GodOfWarRagnarok'', Atreus sees visions of himself in the previous game, around the time the revelation of his divine parentage went to his head. He disgustedly predicts part of his TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to Sindri, and is clearly not very proud of how he acted back then.
* ''VideoGame/JakIIRenegade'':
** Young Samos and Old Samos do ''not'' get along, to the point that ''[[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Daxter]]'' has to mediate.
** [[spoiler:Averted with Young Jak, as he's one of the few people who angry Older Jak gets along with.]]
* In ''VideoGame/JoJosBizarreAdventureEyesOfHeaven'', TimeTravel means that several characters get to meet themselves from previous parts. When Old Joseph meets his ''Battle Tendency'' self, they immediately start throwing shade at each other, with Young Joseph considering his future self an old fart and Old Joseph considering his past self a brat. Old Joseph also makes sure to step in during the argument between his past self and Caesar that ended up getting Caesar killed to scold himself for being too overconfident. On a lighter note, if Old Joseph ever fights with Young Joseph in his Tequila Joseph skin (based on his [[IncrediblyConspicuousDrag ill-conceived attempt]] to infiltrate a Nazi base), his quotes will have him horrified to be reminded of his past shenanigans.
* ''VideoGame/LegacyOfKain'':
** Raziel, one of the series' protagonists, has a long, complicated backstory with a heaping helping of AmnesiacDissonance. At one point, he learns that before he was turned into a vampire, he was a vampire-hunting warrior priest, and begins to aspire to that calling again. Traveling through time and discovering that he was actually a {{Jerkass}} KnightTemplar changes his mind -- violently. [[spoiler:In fact, [[TemporalSuicide he is his own murderer]], along with those who would become his vampire brothers.]]
** One of his vampire brothers, Rahab, seemed to have similar thoughts in the brief time he talks to Raziel before they fight to the death. Raziel, fresh off learning of his and his brothers' origins as said vampire-hunting warrior priests, tries to use this revelation to shock Rahab at Kain's (the other series' protagonist) "blasphemous" actions in raising them as vampire servants, but Rahab is indifferent to even disgusted, explicitly stating that Kain saved them from themselves. Considering that Rahab not only was the only one of Kain's sons who explicitly still had contact with him at this time, but his territory is very close to their original tombs' resting place, it's possible he already knew the truth.
* In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsOfColdSteel II'', if you get Machias' dorm event, he considers his attitude when he first arrived at Thors (loudmouthed, bigoted hater of all nobles and everything nobility) "embarrassing", saying that even [[GenkiGirl Millium]] was more dignified than he was and describes it as a time of his life he'd rather forget. Worse, he feels that on the inside he still hasn't changed. He chooses to continue to try his best to change.
* Fate's final battle in ''VideoGame/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaAsPortable: The Battle of Aces'' has Fate confronting a copy of herself based on her memories of her DarkAndTroubledPast. The match revolves around her trying to convince her angst-filled past copy that, eventually, everything will become all right.
* In ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiPartnersInTime'', Bowser ends up fighting with his past self over a volcano that both of them think would make a great evil lair. They eventually decide to [[MyFutureSelfAndMe team up]], but neither one ever figures out the other's identity.
* In ''VideoGame/MortalKombat11'', with the Goddess of Time being involved, this happens a few times:
** Hanzo Hasashi (aka Scorpion) hates how much his younger self was focused on getting revenge, and attempts to convince him to let go of the past a few times.
** Younger Johnny Cage is [[TheFriendNobodyLikes disliked by everyone]], but most of all by his OlderAndWiser future self, who fully realizes how much of an egotistical, arrogant, lecherous jerk he used to be.
** Erron Black recognizes that he was "a bit much" when he was younger, and even admits it to Kotal in one introduction. His interactions with his past self come across as prickly at best.
** The revenants, especially Liu Kang and Kung Lao, especially hated their past selves for being too 'naive' and trusting with Raiden, who ended up responsible for their revenant status. Their heroic selves, however, are not amused at how fragile their evil selves' faith and conviction are and completely resisted the revenants' attempts to sway their trust from Raiden.
* In ''VideoGame/NoStraightRoads'', [[spoiler:[[BigBad Tatiana]] does not have any fond memories of her time as Kul Fyra, the face of the in-universe band the Goolings due to her inability to keep them from falling into infighting and breaking apart. Such is her dislike of her past that she ended up becoming a ControlFreak as the CEO of [[PredatoryBusiness NSR]], rejecting Bunk Bed Junction at the audition simply because of her anti-rock bias as well as banning rock from Vinyl City in favour of EDM as a result of Mayday's outburst towards her. In the end, she eventually learns to get over her past after teaming up with [=B2J=] to stop a falling satellite from destroying the city]].
* In ''VideoGame/Prey2017'', if you kill [[spoiler:Alex Yu]] during [[spoiler:the simulation of the ''Talos I'' outbreak that constitutes most of the game]], the real [[spoiler:Alex]] doesn't hold it against you when you meet him at the end. The [[spoiler:simulation of him]] was only a minor exaggeration of what he [[WellIntentionedExtremist used to be like]] before his HeelRealization, so he completely understands why you distrusted and attacked him.
* ''VideoGame/RealityMinds'': Kvena was isolated from others and developed a pessimistic outlook on life. She secretly hates Silvana for reminding her of her past shut-in self.
* ''VideoGame/SaintsRowIV'' sees present-day Shaundi come face-to-face with the Shaundi from ''VideoGame/SaintsRow2''. The two don't get along: present-day Shaundi thinks past-Shaundi is a useless, drug-addled, promiscuous load, while [[FutureMeScaresMe past-Shaundi thinks present-day Shaundi is a joyless, angry killjoy who really needs to light a bowl]].
-->'''Present-day Shaundi:''' My problem? My problem is that I used to be you.
* The ''VideoGame/SamAndMaxFreelancePolice'' episode "Chariots of the Dogs" has several differently aged versions of Sam and Max, including a young, nerdy Sam who loves computers and disgusts his older self.
-->'''Young Sam:''' Wow, I've never seen anything that advanced. [[TechnologyMarchesOn It must have at least 640 kilobytes of RAM!]]\\
'''Sam:''' Ew. Whatever, kid.
* In ''VideoGame/{{Spellforce}}: The Order of Dawn'', [[spoiler:the BigBad is the past version of the BigGood]]. Naturally this relationship applies. At the end of the game, [[spoiler:the BigBad undergoes a HeelFaceTurn and goes back in time to stop his past self from causing TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt. This leads to a StableTimeLoop, wherein he becomes the BigGood]].
* During the Coda of ''VideoGame/TacticsOgre'', should you take Ozma with you and have her [[ItMakesSenseInContext fight herself]], the present Ozma will not have very many nice things to say about herself back then. Because Ozma had learned the truth of what was going on with Valeria ''and'' what really happened with Hobyrim and Balxephon, she didn't like what she once was.
* ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'':
** The "Mystery of the Infinite" quest has you fighting along your future self to defend an object from the Infinite Dragonflight. Throughout the fight, your future self mocks you with tidbits such as:
--->'''Future You:''' Look at you fight; no wonder I turned to drinking.
** When you do the sequel quest "Mystery of the Infinite, Redeux", you're mocked just as much by Past You:
--->'''Past You:''' I just want you to know that if we get through this alive, I'm making sure we turn out better than you. No offense.
** In the War of Thorns, Sylvanas Windrunner is questioned about [[FallenHero how she had fallen so far]]. A dying Night Elf recalls that she had been a defender of her people, not a wanton destroyer. Sylvanas, who had suffered greatly at the hands of Arthas and the Scourge, who was shunned by the only loved ones she had left, became so jaded that she retorts that the person she remembers was a ''fool''.

* In ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'' episode "[[Recap/AmericanDadS6E12MayTheBestStanWin May the Best Stan Win]]", a cyborg Stan comes back in time to steal Francine from his past self, having realized in the intervening 1000 years how much he missed her. He actually convinces Francine to leave Present Stan by telling her "That man's just going to keep letting you down; I know, I ''was'' him!" When Present Stan fights back, Cyborg Stan has absolutely no problem beating him senseless.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Amphibia}}'': By the time of the third season, [[spoiler:when [[Characters/AmphibiaSashaWaybright Sasha Waybright]] is trying to make amends for all that she has done wrong by protecting the frogs of Wartwood who looked after Anne, she really has come to have serious guilt issues she's trying to work off. When Anne returns, she immediately chooses to give up her role as commander of the resistance to Anne, not just because she feels unworthy after all she's done to her and Marcy, but because she's so terrified of going back to her old ways and losing Anne all over again if she's put in a position of power. Fortunately, Anne has wised up and can see that Sasha is this. She puts her full faith in her this time, and Sasha proves herself worthy of being a good friend and leader. This ultimately leads her to declare in "[[Recap/AmphibiaS3E30AllIn All In]]" that she is ''done'' being who she was.]]
-->'''Sasha:''' I am NOT that person anymore!
* An episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheAngryBeavers'' has Norb develop amnesia or damnesia as the episode calls it and becomes "Troy". Troy becomes horrified after seeing a video of himself and wonders how Dag could like him after all the times Norb mistreated him.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}'': In a dream that Prunella has about her giving a gift to Francine, she ends up scolding herself, only to realize that it is her.
* Variation in the ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' episode "[[Recap/AvatarTheLastAirbenderTheEmberIslandPlayers The Ember Island Players]]", wherein the main cast watch a play about their adventures. While all of them (sans Sokka and Toph) are irritated by their portrayals, Zuko's anger comes from the actors comically exaggerating all of his worst actions throughout the series, describing it as taking every mistake he's made and throwing it right back in his face during the intermission.
* {{Inverted|Trope}} in the ''WesternAnimation/Ben10'' episode "Ben 10,000", in which the 10-year-old Ben finds his FutureBadass self very boring and rude to everyone and helps him [[CharacterDevelopment loosen up]] and remember how he can have fun and [[BeYourself be himself]] and be a hero at the same time. Future Ben himself doesn't seem to like his younger self either (at least before taking his advice) but this is less of an example of this trope and more of an example of HatesEveryoneEqually which, again is another reason why young Ben seems not to like his older self.
* ''WesternAnimation/Ben10UltimateAlien'': Following a trans-dimensional mishap in one episode, 10-year-old Ben Tennyson meets his 16-year-old self. Ben doesn't hate his younger self, but he does find him incredibly rude and annoying, scolding him when he makes rude comments.
* Dark Danny from ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'', being the psychotic evil ghost that he is, can't stand his heroic younger self or any part of his past life. He does admit at one point that he misses Tucker's sense of humor, though.
* Goes both ways in one ''WesternAnimation/DrawnTogether'' episode where Captain Hero finds a way to communicate with his teenage self and decides that he is an absolute loser who deserves to be punished. He repeatedly tricks his past counterpart into performing depraved acts in public, until his younger self, realizing what a {{jerkass}} future Hero is, retaliates and arranges for him to be arrested. [[PlayingWithATrope Played with]] in that both versions of Hero are too dumb to quite understand the implications of them being the same character in different time periods (future hero remembers suffering similar abuse but opts for revenge by continuing the cycle instead of realising that he can break it).
* In the WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck short ''WesternAnimation/DuckAmuck'', the animator deliberately misaligns the tracking of the film so two frames of the film are temporarily visible. Daffy then proceeds to get into an argument and fist-fight with the version of himself from one frame (1/24th second) ago.
-->'''Daffy 1:''' Listen to bub, if you wasn't me, I'd smack you right in the puss!\\
'''Daffy 2:''' Don't let ''that'' bother you, jack!
* A RunningGag in ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' has characters always acting hostile towards past, future ''and'' alternate versions of themselves... except Bender. If there's one thing Bender loves, it's Bender -- though there is one exception in "[[Recap/FuturamaM1BendersBigScore Bender's Big Score]]".
-->'''Bender-2:''' Hey! Who are you?\\
'''Bender-3:''' ''[dressed in a tuxedo]'' I'm Bender from way at the end. I came back to put this rub-on time code on Fry's ass.\\
'''Bender-2:''' So, what are you now, a butler? "Spot of tea, please, jerkwad!"\\
'''Bender-3:''' It's called class, you yokel. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a buttocks to tattoo.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'' Avalon arc, the Archmage becomes quite irritated with his younger self for being impulsive and not thinking things through. He takes it upon himself to tutor the younger him, and frequently makes jabs about how incompetent he is. The difference in time between the two is a matter of ''hours''.
* In ''WesternAnimation/GeneratorRex'', the eponymous character, suffering from chronic LaserGuidedAmnesia, finds out that he once sold out his best friends to a crime boss. Also, though he never mentions ''hating'' it, per se, Six was a cold-hearted {{Jerkass}} and wannabe [[TheCasanova Casanova]] before he met Rex, and reverts to this when he loses six years of memory. In an odd inversion of the trope, Six decides to try turning his life (back)around when he sees the admiration Rex had for his past "future" self.
* ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'':
** Vandal Savage in the episode "[[Recap/JusticeLeagueS2E19And20Hereafter Hereafter]]". It took 30,000 years of self-imposed exile on the ruined Earth (which he ruined) as the last human being alive for him to give up his megalomania. As Savage prepares to send Superman back in time, Savage tells Superman that he must stop Savage's past self no matter what.
** In the ''Unlimited'' episode "[[Recap/JusticeLeagueUnlimitedS1E13TimeWarped The Once and Future Thing: Time, Warped]]", [[WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond old Bruce Wayne]] meets his past self and, during a suspect's interrogation, comments that "I can't believe I was ever that green." Afterwards, Old Bruce teaches his past self how to properly interrogate a criminal, foregoing the traditional method of terrifying the {{Mook|s}} and instead simply ''beating'' information out of him. This leads to an amusing GoodCopBadCop with Batman playing both roles, and past Batman's teammates expressing their disbelief at the Batman they know being able to pull off Good Cop.
* ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueAction'': Downplayed example in "Time Share". Blue Beetle and Batman travel to the past to prevent Chronos from causing havoc with Batman's past. The two end up encountering the past Batman, who is living out of his car, without his GrapplingHookGun and saying cheesy lines and posing. Present Day Bats is clearly embarrassed by this phase of his career. Especially when the younger Batman does the classic 'I am the night' rooftop pose, mere minutes after Batman told Beetle that heroes do ''not'' pose. Blue Beetle makes sure Scarab took a picture.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' episode "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E20ItsAboutTime It's About Time]]", while it isn't hate, Twilight is frustrated upon the realization that the StableTimeLoop she just created could have been avoided if her past self had just shut up for five seconds.
* After the TimeSkip in ''WesternAnimation/ReBoot'', as a result of [[MyGreatestFailure his failure to protect Mainframe when he was a kid]], Matrix expresses constant dislike of the memories of himself as a kid. During a dream sequence in one episode, he even comes face to face with his younger self and they argue. Eventually a copy of his younger self joins the cast and Matrix treats him like an AnnoyingYoungerSibling. The relationship is eventually inverted. Despite initially [[HeroWorship worshipping]] his future self, copy Enzo grows to dislike Matrix's bitterness, while Matrix tries to regain some of the idealism of his youth.
* In ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'', Rick unwillingly teams up with a memory of his younger self during a JourneyToTheCenterOfTheMind and the two constantly trade verbal barbs with one another as his younger self is [[FutureMeScaresMe put off by what a pessimistic old crank he becomes]], while [[StrawNihilist his current self]] looks down on his past [[TheAntiNihilist idealism]].
* The premise of ''WesternAnimation/SavingMe'' involves an old and very much hated tech billionaire named Bennett Bramble having a HeelRealization over his decades of arrogant cruelty and inventing a MentalTimeTravel machine to stop his younger InsufferableGenius kid self from repeating his mistakes.
* Grouchy Smurf in ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfsAChristmasCarol'': "Past me is so annoying."
* ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'':
** In the "Go God Go" duology, Cartman tries [[ItMakesSenseInContext warning himself not to freeze himself by using a phone designed to make prank calls to the past]]. However, Past!Cartman doesn't believe Future!Cartman, and just insults him. This leads to Future!Cartman calling his past self an asshole. Then at the end of the episode, when Cartman is clearly going to do the whole mess again, he gets a call from his future self and acts exactly the same way.
** In the Season 21 finale, Heidi reminisces about the early stages of her relationship with [[spoiler:Cartman]], and is disgusted by [[BecameTheirOwnAntithesis how nice and caring she was back then]]. However, this [[spoiler:leads to her HeelRealization, and HeelFaceTurn]] at the end of the episode.
* ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'': In the episode "[[Recap/StevenUniverseS1E22StevenAndTheStevens Steven and the Stevens]]", Steven uses a magic time-travelling hourglass to team up with three temporal duplicates of himself and start a band. Unfortunately, the other Stevens start getting on the original Steven's nerves, and he starts to realize how annoying he can be.
* In ''WesternAnimation/SuperRobotMonkeyTeamHyperforceGo'', the Skeleton King has nothing but contempt for his past self, [[spoiler:the good-hearted Alchemist who created the Hyperforce specifically to oppose the monster he was doomed to become]], whom he derides as a sentimental weakling.
[[/folder]]

* ''Fanfic/OneStepBackwardsAndThreeForwards'': Felix utterly ''despises'' how he used to be as Adrien, back in the original reality. Hindsight makes it all too easy to berate himself for his past decisions, as he rarely took his responsibilities as a superhero seriously and [[ExtremeDoormat rarely stood up against]] his father, Chloe or Lila. In particular, he blames himself for not warning Ladybug about how he'd discovered [[spoiler:Luka's corpse]]; had he done so, they might have been able to prevent [[TheBadGuyWins Hawkmoth's triumph]]. It also doesn't help that he was [[LiteralSplitPersonality split into two]] when reality was rewritten, with Felix getting all of the original Adrien's memories while his other half remains as one of Lila's [[TrophyWife prizes]].
* Non-TimeTravel example in ''Fanfic/PokemonResetBloodlines'' with Misty's Gyarados. He's rather upset when Misty buys a Magikarp aboard the S.S. Anne (partly due to her goal of [[GottaCatchEmAll catching every single Water-type Pokémon]]), because it reminds him of the time he was a puny fish, and he doesn't like it.

* ''Fanfic/TheSecondTry'': Discussed. Asuka thinks her younger self would hate her since during her CharacterDevelopment she forsook all what she had lived for during her childhood and became a very different person who does not mind showing her emotions, letting other close and loves being [[spoiler:a wife and a mother.]] Shinji disagrees, stating she is being too hard on herself. Straight after he states he thinks his deeply insecure, self-loathing, shy younger self would be shocked at seeing him... but he does not hate him since he knows why he was so full of insecurities and neurosis.

* ''WesternAnimation/PussInBootsTheLastWish'': While meeting with his lost lives in the Cave of Lost Souls, Puss is initially overjoyed by their stroking of his ego. However, when they mock him over the CharacterDevelopment he's had through the movie (actually caring about his friends more than his legendary status as a hero), he declares that they're all jerks, and that he's got mixed feelings about that.

** On the flipside, Anakin's glimpses into the future as seen in ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsCloneWars'', ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008)]]'' and ''VideoGame/StarWarsBattlefrontII2017'' where he can meet Vader in person have all [[FutureMeScaresMe terrified]] Anakin and caused him to go through a HeroicBSOD at seeing what he'll become.

* In ''Film/{{Timecop}}'', Senator [=McComb=] travels from 2004 to 1994 to kill his then business partner and meets his past self in the process. He remarks that he "remembers having bigger balls", tells his past self to "lay off the fucking candy bars" and punches him in the face.

** Nebula pities her younger and evil self while the latter tortures her as well as being disgusted over her own cruelty. Though future Nebula had no qualms shooting her past self (don’t worry, she doesn’t fade away) to save Gamora.

* In Jonathan Carroll's novel ''The Wooden Sea'', the narrator, Frannie, who is a cop, meets his past self, a troubled teenage bully. However, he eventually does come to see that he really was a good kid and manages to help patch things with his (teenage Frannie's) father in the past.

** A strange version in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS32E6TheAlmostPeople The Almost People]]". The Doctor has [[spoiler: been duplicated, making a replica exactly like the original. However, while still stabilizing, this ganger has to cope with all his memories and starts being consumed by past regenerations. At one point he starts speaking with Ten's voice -- before breaking out of it and shouting "We've moved on!"]] It doesn't necessarily mean that Eleven hates Ten, but considering the low-point of the regeneration, there might be some hard feelings.

* ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory2'', Andy's Buzz Lightyear meets another Buzz Lightyear (Utility Belt Buzz) at Al's Toy Barn, who reminds Andy's Buzz of his [[MeetYourEarlyInstallmentWeirdness younger self]].
-->'''Utility Belt Buzz:''' Buzz Lightyear to Star Command. I've got an AWOL Space Ranger.\\
'''Andy's Buzz:''' Tell me I wasn't this deluded...

* ''ComicBook/{{Thunderbolts}}'': The time-travelling arc from the first volume took this to an extreme as the current team, consisting of some of the [[HeelFaceTurn fully redeemed]] members of the old team, ended up meeting the first set of Thunderbolts while the con was still on. The Fixer ended up talking to his past self, who was the same morals-less hothead who couldn't believe that his current self had "gone soft." [[spoiler:However, the Fixer wasn't known for his infinite patience then ''or'' now, so he ''immolates himself''. The temporal ramifications are immediately dealt with, and the Fixer has to enter a StableTimeLoop where he poses as his past self in order to keep the timeline from unwinding.]]

** In the War of Thorns, Sylvanas Windrunner is questioned about [[FallenHero how she had fallen so far.]] A dying Night Elf recalls that she had been a defender of her people, not a wanton destroyer. Sylvanas, who had suffered greatly at the hands of Arthas and the Scourge, who was shunned by the only loved ones she had left, became so jaded that she retorts that the person she remembers was a ''fool''.

** RebelLeader Kohza gets annoyed at Kappa, the little boy who adamantly wants to join the rebellion — but is refused. Kohza soon after reveals to his subordinates that the kid reminded him of himself when was younger and full of spirit, which unsettled him.

* In one chapter/episode of ''Manga/UruseiYatsura'' Shutaro Mendō traveled back in time and very literally scared his younger self — the child Mendō acted like such an obnoxious brat to his future self that he provoked the latter into attacking him with a sword. The young Mendō hid in a jar until the older Mendō returned to his own time, but that experience was what gave him his claustrophobia and fear of the dark. [[StableTimeLoop And what's more, the reason he traveled back in time in the first place was to prevent himself from getting that claustrophobia and fear of the dark.]]

* ''ComicBook/{{Captain Marvel|MarvelComics}}'': During [[Characters/MarvelComicsMarvels Genis-Vell's]] omnipotent madman phase, he brought Rick Jones' teenage self to the present—that is, Rick from ''before'' the Gamma Bomb accident that created the Hulk, when Rick was forced to grow up and start taking responsibility for his actions. Naturally, present-day Rick can't stand him.

** In the audio reconstruction of the Troughton story "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS4E3ThePowerOfTheDaleks The Power of the Daleks]]", narrated by the Fourth Doctor as if he's recounting a story from his life, he seems to regard his regeneration from the First Doctor into the Second Doctor as a significant downgrade, questioning his own decision to trade [[GentlemanAndAScholar long white hair and cold dignity]] for hyperkinesis, scruffiness, and flamboyance. It should be observed that [[ObliviousToHisOwnDescription the Fourth Doctor's personality is much closer to the latter type, and he also succeeded a coldly dignified, white-haired Doctor...]] He also occasionally pauses the story to cringe about just how embarrassing his own actions are.
** Averted with the Eleventh Doctor in the Fourth Doctor audio story in which he [[EarlyBirdCameo cameos]] ("Babblesphere"), where both of them seem to like each other an awful lot — [[spoiler:and the Curator, a far future Doctor who has taken on the Fourth Doctor's form and personality, seems immediately fond of and affectionate towards the Eleventh in [[Recap/DoctorWho50thASTheDayOfTheDoctor "The Day of the Doctor"]]]].
** Also averted in the audio story "[[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWhoSpecialsTheLightAtTheEnd The Light At The End]]", where the Eighth Doctor is especially fond of the Fourth Doctor, with a lot of their personality quirks and tastes in common, and they get along easily. And subverted with the Eighth and the Sixth — the Eighth finds him somewhat obnoxious and [[IWasQuiteAFashionVictim his fashion sense embarrassing]] as expected, but at the same time has a great deal of respect for him, moreso than any of the others do. He certainly prefers him to the Seventh.

** In the Titan Comics mini-series ''[[ComicBook/DoctorWhoFourDoctors Four Doctors]]'', Twelve and Ten don't get on — in large part because Ten is worried about just how he gets the extra incarnations to become Twelve, and Twelve is... well, series 8 Twelve, who's not the easiest person to get on with — so Eleven acts as mediator. However, Twelve averts this with [[spoiler:Nine, who he describes as being nothing less than "fantastic"]].

* In the last set of levels of ''VideoGame/CrashBandicoot4ItsAboutTime'' [[spoiler:Cortex decides to use the quantum masks to keep himself from creating Crash. However, all efforts to warn his past self fall on deaf ears with his past self calling him an imposter and ignoring everything he says]].

* In ''[[VideoGame/{{Spellforce}} Spellforce: The Order Of Dawn]]'', [[spoiler:the BigBad is the past version of the BigGood]]. Naturally this relationship applies. At the end of the game, [[spoiler:the BigBad undergoes a HeelFaceTurn and goes back in time to stop his past self from causing TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt. This leads to a StableTimeLoop, wherein he becomes the BigGood]].
* In ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry5'' [[spoiler: Vergil’s human-side SoulJar V expresses explicit regret and shame over his evil actions in the past when he was whole, citing his pride as appalling and hates how delusional and power-hungry his evil side Urzien is. Sadly it’s unclear how much of this CharacterDevelopment has stuck after V refuses with Urzien back into Vergil, at most Vergil has mellowed out a little. Urzien for his part seems to regard his existence as Vergil as a weakness as he was still weighed down by his pesky half-human nature. He even refuses to listen when Dante explains that their mother died searching for him rather than abandoning him as Vergil believed]].
* ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'':
** The "Mystery of the Infinite" quest has you fighting along your future self to defend an object from the Infinite Dragonflight. Throughout the fight, your future self mocks you with tidbits such as:
--->'''Future You:''' Look at you fight; no wonder I turned to drinking.
** When you do the sequel quest "Mystery of the Infinite, Redeux", you're mocked just as much by Past You:
--->'''Past You:''' I just want you to know that if we get through this alive, I'm making sure we turn out better than you. No offense.
** In the War of Thorns, Sylvanas Windrunner is questioned about [[FallenHero how she had fallen so far.]] A dying Night Elf recalls that she had been a defender of her people, not a wanton destroyer. Sylvanas, who had suffered greatly at the hands of Arthas and the Scourge, who was shunned by the only loved ones she had left, became so jaded that she retorts that the person she remembers was a ''fool''.
* ''VideoGame/BlazBlue'': Hakumen has [[ThatManIsDead renounced his old identity]] as [[spoiler:Jin Kisaragi]]. He considers killing his "past incarnation" to be atonement for his/[[spoiler:Jin]]'s sins.
* In ''[[VideoGame/CityOfHeroes City of Villains]]'', one villain "morality mission" has you meet three future versions of yourself, two of which think you're an idiotic weakling. [[spoiler:The third is TheAtoner, whose pleas for you to do the right thing you ignore.]]
* In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'' a big part of Cloud’s character is how he dislikes and is ashamed of the apparent loser he was before joining SOLDIER and getting FakeMemories, thanks in part to getting wrongly blamed for Tifa injuring herself by her father — resulting in him lashing out at people and moreover for failing to become a first class SOLDIER like he promised. It’s inferred that Cloud accepted Zack’s persona and memories because he genuinely believed he was nothing otherwise. It takes a JourneyToTheCentreOfTheMind with Tifa for Cloud to regain his original personality and some more development for Cloud finally [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre realise his own worth]] as a hero.
* The normally [[TheStoic stoic]] Auron in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'' actually ''attacks'' his past self when confronted with a phantom echo of his past in the ruins of Zanarkand. Since it's only an echo, he ends up fruitlessly shouting and swinging his sword to no effect.
* ''VideoGame/SaintsRowIV'' sees present-day Shaundi come face-to-face with the Shaundi from ''VideoGame/SaintsRow2''. The two don't get along: present-day Shaundi thinks past-Shaundi is a useless, drug-addled, promiscuous load, while [[FutureMeScaresMe past-Shaundi thinks present-day Shaundi is a joyless, angry killjoy who really needs to light a bowl.]]
-->'''Present-day Shaundi:''' My problem? My problem is that I used to be you.
* The ''VideoGame/SamAndMaxFreelancePolice'' episode "Chariots of the Dogs" has several differently aged versions of Sam and Max, including a young, nerdy Sam who loves computers and disgusts his older self.
-->'''Young Sam:''' Wow, I've never seen anything that advanced. [[TechnologyMarchesOn It must have at least 640 kilobytes of RAM!]]\\
'''Sam:''' Ew. Whatever, kid.
* ''VideoGame/LegacyOfKain series''
** Raziel, one of the series' protagonists, has a long, complicated backstory with a heaping helping of AmnesiacDissonance. At one point he learns that before he was turned into a vampire he was a vampire-hunting warrior priest, and begins to aspire to that calling again. Traveling through time and discovering that he was actually a {{Jerkass}} KnightTemplar changes his mind - violently. [[spoiler:In fact, he is his own murderer, along with those who would become his vampire brothers.]]
** One of his vampire brothers, Rahab, seemed to have similar thoughts in the brief time he talks to Raziel before they fight to the death. Raziel, fresh off learning of his and his brothers' origins as said vampire-hunting warrior priests, tries to use this revelation to shock Rahab at Kain's (the other series' protagonist) "blasphemous" actions in raising them as vampire servants, but Rahab is indifferent to even digusted, explicitly stating that Kain saved them from themselves. Considering that Rahab not only was the only one of Kain's sons who explicitly still had contact with him at this time, but his territory is very close to their original tombs' resting place, it's possible he already knew the truth.

** Young Samos and Old Samos do ''not'' get along, to the point where ''[[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Daxter]]'' has to mediate.
** [[spoiler: Averted with Young Jak as he's one of the few people that angry Older Jak gets along with.]]

* ''VideoGame/BioshockInfinite'' has [[spoiler: Father Comstock, the BigBad of the game, who is also a version of the protagonist, Booker [=DeWitt=] from an alternate universe who underwent a baptism following the Massacre at Wounded Knee, got a new name, and found religion. Comstock has nothing but scorn for the Booker we play as, from a universe where he ''refused'' the baptism, believing him to be a godless, self-destructive "False Shepard"]].

* In ''VideoGame/{{Bayonetta}}'', [[spoiler:Bayonetta thinks Cereza is an annoying little brat, but gradually warms up to her. However, it isn't until later that she learns Cereza is her younger self. Since she has amnesia, she didn't remember meeting her future self. Meanwhile, Cereza meeting her future self was what inspired her to stop being a scaredy-cat and grow up to be a badass]].
* In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsOfColdSteel II'' if you get Machias' dorm event, he considers his attitude when he first arrived at Thors (loudmouthed, bigoted hater of all nobles and everything nobility) "embarrassing," saying that even [[GenkiGirl Millium]] was more dignified than he was and describes it as a time of his life he'd rather forget. Worse, he feels that on the inside he still hasn't changed. He chooses to continue to try his best to change.
* In ''VideoGame/Prey2017'', if you kill [[spoiler:Alex Yu]] during [[spoiler:the simulation of the ''Talos I'' outbreak that constitutes most of the game]], the real [[spoiler:Alex]] doesn't hold it against you when you meet him at the end. The [[spoiler:simulation of him]] was only a minor exaggeration of what he [[WellIntentionedExtremist used to be like]] before his HeelRealization, so he completely understands why you distrusted and attacked him.
* In ''Videogame/GodOfWarPS4'', Kratos is deeply ashamed of his past as the Ghost of Sparta. He can never truly erase his past either since he still bears the scars of his past life such as the ashes of his dead family grafted on his skin and the burn marks on his arms from the Blades of Chaos. When he settled in Midgard he tried his best to start anew, quietly starting a new family [[spoiler:and burying the Blades of Chaos beneath his house.]] Throughout the game, he reacts to reminders of his bloody past with disgust and shame. In one scene he comes across a jar decorated with an image of the Ghost of Sparta standing atop a pile of bodies screaming at the heavens. Kratos stares at the jar for a moment in horror before hurling it at the ground to keep Atreus from seeing it [[spoiler:though Atreus still sees the image of his father as the Ghost of Sparta on a large piece of the jar]]. One of the reasons Kratos' relationship with his son is so strained is because he doesn't want his son to know his past. It's only at the end of the game that he realizes he shouldn't keep hiding the truth from Atreus anymore.
** In ''VideoGame/GodOfWarRagnarok'', Atreus sees visions of himself in the previous game, around the time the revelation of his divine parentage went to his head. He disgustedly predicts part of his TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to Sindri, and is clearly not very proud of how he acted back then.
* During the Coda of ''VideoGame/TacticsOgre'', should you take Ozma with you and have her [[ItMakesSenseInContext fight herself]], Present!Ozma will not have very many nice things to say about herself back then. Because Ozma had learned the truth of what was going on with Valeria ''and'' what really happened with Hobyrim and Balxephon, she didn't like what she once was.
* In ''VideoGame/MortalKombat11'', with the Goddess of Time being involved, it happens a few times:

* ''VideoGame/Fallout4''
** Robert Joseph [=MacCready=] was a little shit [[VideoGame/Fallout3 when he was a child and the self-proclaimed mayor of Little Lamplight]], being confrontational, rude, and [[SirSwearsALot potty-mouthed to the extreme]]. Now, as a fully grown young man, he recognizes how much of a little shit he was and matured into a more level-headed professional gun-for-hire, who also has made a point of [[GoshDangItToHeck cutting the profanity out of his language whenever he can]].
** Hancock [[spoiler:couldn't forgive himself when he allowed his brother, Mayor [=McDonough=] of Diamond City, to exile all of the city's ghoul citizens and leave them to the mercy of the wastes. This is part of the reason why he took the super-radioactive drug that led to his own ghoulification: he felt he had no right to maintain his humanity]].
** Deacon [[spoiler:in [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness one of the precious few times he tells the truth]], expresses remorse for his involvement in a gang that made trouble for reformed synths, leaving the gang after they murdered an innocent synth in cold blood, then later exterminating the gang when they murdered the woman he fell in love with, herself a synth]].
* In ''VideoGame/NoStraightRoads'', [[spoiler:[[BigBad Tatiana]] does not have any fond memories of her time as Kul Fyra, the face of the in-universe band the Goolings due to her inability to keep them from falling into infighting and breaking apart. Such is her dislike of her past that she ended up becoming a ControlFreak as the [=CEO=] of [[PredatoryBusiness NSR]], rejecting Bunk Bed Junction at the audition simply because of her anti-rock bias as well as banning rock from Vinyl City in favour of [=EDM=] as a result of Mayday's outburst towards her. In the end, she eventually learns to get over her past after teaming up with [=B2J=] to stop a falling satellite from destroying the city]].
* In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses'': this trope occurs sometimes in the timeskip:
** In his A-Support with Byleth, Lorenz confesses that he is ashamed of his previous personality, he has since been striving toward a much more ideal version of how a noble should act.
** Marianne is shocked and horrified at how arrogant and foolish her younger self was; even in spite of her nonexistent ego. She was ashamed to act as if death meant nothing to her, never caring whether she lived or died. After seeing many people die around her, she begins to realize how precious life truly was.

* In the [RE]turn mode of ''VisualNovel/{{Sunrider}} Liberation Day'', Kayto quickly grows exasperated with how his past self stubbornly refuses to even consider the possibility that [[spoiler:his {{Love Interest|s}} Chigara is a Prototype spy and is going to kill everyone at the Liberation Day ceremony]] and writes off all evidence to the contrary as part of an enemy plot to drive a wedge between the members of the Sunrider’s crew. Kayto even ends up sympathizing with his NumberTwo Ava for having to put up with his past bullheadedness,[[note]]as she’d spent the better part of a month trying to convince him of the possibility in the main story, only for Kayto to lash out and accuse her of [[spoiler:being jealous of his relationship with Chigara]],[[/note]] and gives her a heartfelt apology during her route.

* This happens with several [=VTubers=] who watch their debut streams after being active for a long time (usually a year or so), causing them to cringe and roast their debut selves.

--> '''Minmax:''' Alright, that's it. I don't like FUTURE Minmax... and I don't like PAST Minmax. I only like RIGHT NOW Minmax.
* Subverted in ''Webcomic/TheLastDaysOfFoxhound'', where The Sorrow shows the amnesiac Liquid his past in order to show him how, violent, cruel and indifferent to humanity he was. Liquid, of course, [[ComicallyMissingThePoint completely misses the point]] and starts gushing over how much of a badass he was instead.
* A book 4 arc of ''Webcomic/{{Fans}}'' pits the science fiction club against their book 1 versions, and nearly all of them have this reaction.

** Jade gets sick of [[spoiler: Jadesprite]]'s sobbing pretty quickly. When she refuses to do the one thing that could probably accomplish her goal [[spoiler: of going back to being dead]], present Jade loses it and starts [[GetAHoldOfYourselfMan smacking sense into her, literally.]] It gets stranger: Since [[spoiler:Dream Jade]] went back in time 13 years [[spoiler:after dying,]] [[spoiler:Jadesprite]] is technically older than Jade, but her personality is noticeably more flawed.
** Vriska is soured on her former AttentionWhore GloryHound behavior when she witnesses Aranea, the alternate universe version of Vriska's ancestor, cause a lot of trouble with her Attention Whore Glory Hound antics. Vriska's brushes with this trope get even worse later when [[spoiler: she meets the Retcon version of herself who never died and went through the CharacterDevelopment she experienced and is thus still a borderline sociopathic jerk. Said version proceeds to insult and bully Vriska for not being a jerk anymore (she claims that Vriska has become a loser), and is so incredibly vicious and cruel that Vriska actually ''cries'']].

** Nearly every character who interacts with their own past/future self (which is pretty much all of them) finds said past/future self to be hopelessly stupid/unbelievably arrogant. Dave is the one notable exception; he seems to find his past and future selves to be pretty chill dudes...luckily for him, since as the Hero of Time for his session, he runs into himself a ''lot''.
* A non-TimeTravel example occurs in ''Webcomic/TheDragonDoctors'' when Kili and Greg go to part of the SpiritWorld where a person's past self resides. Kili, a kind, sensitive shaman, is confronted by her bratty teenage self and Greg, a mellow writer, is distraught when he sees his TotallyRadical headbanger self.
* ''Webcomic/{{Shortpacked}}'': [[http://shortpacked.com/comic/the-poor-fool Modern Age Batman meets Golden Age Batman.]] And yes, Golden Age Batman ''[[CharacterizationMarchesOn really was]]'' that much of a [[SuperDickery dick.]]

* From ''Webcomic/{{Narbonic}}'': Dave to Dave prime:
--> '''Dave''': "I'm your future, and I hate you. I'm [[spoiler: going to electrocute you now]]."
* ''Webcomic/TemplarArizona'': In the bonus comic [[http://templaraz.com/bonus_comics/confirmation.php Confirmation]] the loud, boisterous adult Reagan, meets and torments her insecure, reserved, [[spoiler: and racist[[note]] moulignan is the Italian equivalent of nigger in case if you're wondering[[/note]]]] younger self.
* In ''Webcomic/TheGreatestGift'', Hazel Lulamoon is actively ''afraid'' of the mare she used to be before her HeelFaceTurn, having a nightmare about Past!Hazel and calling her a monster.

* In one arc of ''Webcomic/FullFrontalNerdity'', Frank has Nelson, Lewis and Shawn retire their successful player characters and make up new ones. Their new characters meet their old characters as non-player characters. Frank insists on role-playing them all in character as ruthlessly ambitious {{Munchkin}}s, much to Nelson, Lewis, and Shawn's dismay.
* Future Stein appears to feel this way about his younger counterpart in ''Webcomic/FrankieAndStein''.

'''Trace:''' What? Why? What kind of evil person would make a law like th...it was me, wasn't it?\\

* In ''Webcomic/SonicTheComicOnline'' this is Sonic's reaction to meeting his [[{{Jerkass}} past self.]] It leads to this conversation when they come across a statue of Johnny Lightfoot that was built after his death:
-->'''Past Johnny:''' Look -- there's a PLAQUE on the statue.\\
'''Past Sonic:''' Heh, probably says "JOHNNY LIGHTFOOT -- PROFESSIONAL SIDEKICK".\\
'''Present Sonic:''' YOU CREEP! Johnny was more of a hero than you'll EVER be!
* ''Webcomic/MagicalTwelfthGraders'': [[spoiler:The Yeorum from the future is well aware that pretty much everything bad that ever happened to Gyeowul, and most of the bad stuff happening now, is Yeorum's fault. She finds her disgusting]].
* ''Webcomic/SaturdayMorningBreakfastCereal'':
** Taken to extremes (like so many things in the comic) in a strip in which two future versions of a guy decide to go back and kill his teen self.
** In [[https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/time-travel "Time Travel",]] a guy travels back to give his teenage self advice, but is too disgusted by what he's doing, namely posting opinions on women on a ''Franchise/MagicTheGathering'' forum.
* The first time Bun-bun escaped Timeless Space in ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance'', he developed amnesia and couldn't remember how he got out. So his second time there he figured his best course of action was to follow his past self out. Unfortunately he was such a pain in the ass that he ended up whacking himself in the head, causing the amnesia. That wasn't even two different versions of him, as both had the same kind of personality already -- [[PoorCommunicationKills a misunderstanding]] led them to be at odds about something, and, both being the same, neither would back down one bit.
* In ''Webcomic/KillSixBillionDemons'', Cio used to be a powerful and tyrannical ebon devil named Yabalchoath, who was feared by everyone for being TheCaligula. Eventually, the angels and [[TheDogBitesBack her own abused slaves]] rose up and killed her, causing her to reincarnate into a harmless blue devil. Now OlderAndWiser, Cio ''despises'' Yabalchoath and feels tremendous guilt for her behavior, speaking of her past life with nothing but scorn. It's noted that she could potentially regain her ebon devil powers, but she refuses to do so expressly because she's scared of being Yabalchoath again.
* In TheRant of ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'', Dan sometimes berates his past self for his decisions like [[https://egscomics.com/comic/2002-07-18 making Grace cry.]] That said, he also [[http://egscomics.com/comics/2003-12-24 recognizes]] the futility of this.
-->'''Dan:''' Granted, not a lot is accomplished by being mad at one’s past self. The healthiest thing is to accept one’s past mistakes and move on. Of course, I’m an artist and get to see a visual record of such things, SO I WILL NEVER MOVE ON. EVER.
* In the [[https://nedroid.com/?481 "Memories of Youth"]] strip (January 13th, 2011) of the online comic ''Webcomic/{{Nedroid}}'', Reginald is about to commit {{Seppuku}} when Beartato stops him. Reginald explains, "...I just remembered all the embarrassing things I did as a teenager". Beartato tells him to move on from the past, but a thought balloon pops up in Reginald's mind wherein he remembers himself as a teenager at his crush's locker, about to give her a MixtapeOfLove. Present Reginald then [[spoiler:attempts to drink poison]].
* In ''Webcomic/TheGodOfHighSchool'', Mo-Ri thinks this of himself after [[spoiler:regaining his memories as the Monkey King]]. He reflects on the kind of LeeroyJenkins and {{Jerkass}} he was and resolves to become better for it.

* In ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'', when GrumpyOldWoman Serini Toormuck [[https://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots1285.html triggers]] a programmed illusion of upbeat young halfling Serini Toormuck, she calls her a "daffy brat" and then starts ''yelling'' at her about how it's ''her'' stupid ideas that left present-day Serini in her current situation.

* ''ComicBook/TheMightyThor'': In ''ComicBook/ThorGodOfThunder2012'', Old King [[Characters/TheMightyThorThorOdinson Thor]] wastes little time expressing his dislike of the two versions of his younger beardless self Avenger Thor (the present day one) and young Thor (who is seriously lacking the CharacterDevelopment after being banished to Earth) calling them both idiots and whelps and generally looking down upon them. Subverted though as King Thor is actually invigorated by his younger selves and is motivated to kick ass again after spending thousands of years as a DeathSeeker tormented by Gorr. The reason he treats his younger selves so harshly on the surface is likely out of sadness given he has lost almost all his friends and family. On the flip side, the younger Thors are both equally [[FutureMeScaresMe appalled]] at the prospect that in the future they will turn out exactly like their father Odin.
