Explain self-loathing to me. I get misery and I get wanting to die but I don’t get self-hatred.

They're not, no. They're reasons people would hate themselves despite not being otherwise hateful.

Hateful can mean filled with hate or arousing hate. If you're using it in the first sense, then Confucius seems to be placing psychologically unrealistic restrictions on emotive referents. If you're using it in the second sense, then I misread your initial tweet and must disagree

Shame is a synonym for self-hate, even though it doesn't have the autonomic profile of anger. Threat sensitivity makes shame adaptive, and shame is upstream up behaviors like remorse and deference, which can also be downstream of harm-sensitivity and niceness

If the terms on the left are synonyms, then any synonym for hate fits on the right. I don't think a precise conception of hate matters much to the discussion, which is why I switched to talking narrowly about self-hate. Maybe it's strong dislike paired with disgust, fear or anger
