The most distressing aspect of modern femininity is banal self-worship. In the obsessive quest to “love yourself” you condition yourself to love your personality defects. You should hate yourself, and seek to kill that which you hate about yourself. It’s the only way to survive.

Actually the trick is not to identify the bad parts of yourself AS yourself. Self-loathing is often a barrier against positive change since it causes you to identify urself as "thing that I hate." Better to realize that part is dead weight to be sloughed off, not part of self

It only ceases to be a part of you after you have destroyed it.

This is all v conceptual. There is real danger in excessive self-loathing since it associates ur ego with bad attributes by implication. It's neither about self-love or self-loathing. It's not about SELF at all, that's the hardest part. Impossible to think urself into smaller ego

Correct, in a vacuum. But consider our culture. In the face of such a pseudo-empathetic anesthetic culture self-hate helps stave off the numbness and instantiate action. Fat people don’t hit the gym until they reach a severe point of self-loathing and despair.
