I’ll take a stab:

Did you have high expectation parents or parents that were difficult to satisfy? Were you around snobby people all your life that were entitled and competitive in social hierarchies (think Mean Girls), justifying their worth via dangerous forms of validation (money, status, vanity, general elitism)? Did you yourself also amass these qualities throughout most of your life, or at least some of them?

A lifetime of being soaked in miserable baths like what I just described will create a disgusting internal dialogue that attacks both inward and outward (you hate yourself, and respect no one).
