If you really hated yourself because of the way you look or your perceived lack of talent, then you would be glad you were ugly and had no talent.
Everyone is born loving themselves more than they should. Believing they deserve more than they have is the mentality of today.
Philippians 2:3 "Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem the other better than himself."
Those who do not pay much attention to themselves are those who can love others. This is the opposite of what psychology teaches. They wrongly teach us that we must love ourselves first before we can love others. This is the opposite of the teachings of Christ.
We can only love others if we deny ourselves and follow Christ. Then we are free to love others.
"One of the elements of holiness is the lack of self-awareness."
