A precondition for doing anything worthwhile is obviously being long yourself. If it’s worthwhile, by definition you’re going to grow by doing it. Hard to create worth while shorting yourself. I suspect even suicidal altruism is an inclusive-fitness way of being long yourself.

This is why undermining someone’s confidence in their own investment worthiness is the single best gaslighting technique. Collapse their ooda loop etc.

I don't think you have to like yourself to be long yourself. I think those are two separate things. To me, whether I like myself or not seems like an irrelevant question. In practice, I do the behaviours that are long on myself regardless of how I'm feeling at the time.

Then you like yourself. Disliking yourself typically drives self-defeating behaviors and even deliberate self-sabotage.

Not every investable aspect of myself is something I want to see grow. Or you want to see grow. Now, we don't have to watch me grow into someone I don't even want to be around: I have choices. Not everyone does. Some folks have to *feed* their beast, just to eat.
