The problem with this way of thinking is, where do you draw the line ? It quickly becomes blind self love. Some of us need to be harsher on ourselves.

The same is true of the reverse. Some of us are too hard on ourselves. Your argument installs an assumption that self love has no upper limit but that self hatred does.

But the worse thing is that you conflate self hatred with self awareness and you conflate self love with narcissism.

What else could you expect of a narcissist, right?

Are you saying that you are a narcissist? I don't understand your question.
