Everyone feels self-loathing, to varying degrees. HV people sort it out, LV people weaponize it. They take their self-hatred and find ways to abuse and coerce others with the rot growing inside them.

They can have really complicated ways of masking their self-loathing-- but at the end of the day, it's all mental gymnastics to avoid facing the truth and to avoid working on themselves as people.

So many LV people run amok in society, and they can be hard to detect. Some of them are attractive, some of them are successful at work or with money. But yet, you can't just trust them to have an ounce of human decency, self-respect, respect and consideration for others, or common sense. You can't trust someone who has weaponized their self-loathing.

It's one thing to feel bad about yourself, to be aware of that to some degree or another, to notice when you do something bad and feel ashamed. It's another thing to mindfuck your own brain into Swiss cheese. Of course reality and common sense doesn't mean much to you after that.
