@Graci It's awful how some people can spew self-hatred on everyone else like a firehose.

Maybe that's why awful people always try to get someone to hate themselves. It's how they make more of themselves, like vampires or something.

It doesn't transform everybody, but it does often leave a victim haunted or depleted.

They self-hate, so they operate on anti-life urges. Instead of wanting to love and heal the self, they seek to project that harm outward, to make others into victims or monsters.
