But I do not think these are the actions/words of someone who thinks lowly of herself:

-"I am not evil, they call me that because of Snow!"

-"I'm going to find this author and force him-ask him-to write me a happy ending"

-"I'm going to find whoever wrote this cursed tome and force them to give me the happy ending I deserve."

-"Since when do I care about anyone's happiness but mine?"

-"I worked very hard to build a future. A future thats now gone."

-Killing your own father so you can get what you want

-Thinking that the reason your newborn is crying is because there is something medically wrong with him, not because you are not a fit parents. And refusing to take parenting tips from anyone.

-Constantly putting yourself and your own happiness first. Which is a thing she has been doing since season 1.

I think the overall issue with Regina is that she thinks she deserves to be happy and is never satisfied with what she has. Casting the curse wasn't enough, having Henry wasn't enough, Emma promising to leave wasn't enough, having the Charmings accept her isn't enough. She always wants more. Well, that's called a character flaw, and all the characters on Once have them. Emma puts walls up very easily. Hook goes way overboard when someone dies (Liam dies, Hook becomes a pirate; Milah dies, Hook decides to go on a centuries long quest for revenge). Snow likes to say "we" instead of "I", including David into things that he didn't really have a part of.
