A therapist once told me that self-loathing and self-harm are both forms of a kind of narcissism. That really changed how i understood the world.

Exactly! These people present themselves as caring so much about the suffering of others and yet they are just wallowing in their own misery and projecting it onto the people around them. Unfortch it's very difficult to get them to see this, with narcissism, that problem usually prevents someone seeking help for it. It's always everyone else's fault.
