Nevertheless, the point is Regina never showed any self-loathing until the writers stuck it in that episode. It was a very well written scene, just not for her character. I think was at least a decent lead in. Regina did hate everything else about her (about = around her) and blamed everyone else for it. So, secretly hating herself is possible.

Valuing yourself highly doesn't equal narcissism is because some people have think highly of themselves and do self-destructive things.

Regina hasn't been the most self-aware person. XD

It makes more sense in the present than in the past (sort of like Mother, where Cora tells Regina that Regina is the only reason that Regina is unhappy in the past, but doesn't realize that until the present).
