my new psychologist after 3 weeks of intensive with two sessions per week:

“so you don’t actually like yourself don’t you”

me:

Man. Dog. Van. building things, surfing and playing disc golf

that's how it feels tbh. like an unlock. and they have told me that my chest is locked, but slowly and steadily being unlocked. and it feels so weirdly good man. we actually deserve it

I think a lot of ambitious people have this orientation towards themselves. And I don't think it's bad in short spurts to battle with yourself. But it is a huge unlock for the baseline to be self-love (including loving that you don't always love yourself)
