I understand the importance of loving yourself, "but dont get stuck there." To be able to love myself vs hate myself is my lifes work, my daily struggle. is this just feeding my ego since the chances of "not getting stuck" is out of my reach. .

So there is Hashem and then there is each of us
Hashem has many attributes, middos, capabilities, etc. He also has many names. Each name channels a different attribute or midda or capability.

But we are each one person, albeit we, too can have ahava, yirah and other middos.

Let's say it's you and I. You are my brother in law. You are my neighbor. You are my creditor. You are my mashpia. Etc. Each relationship between the 2 of us has differentiated aspects.

I.e. we are 2 entities with several different relationships.

What is the practical difference whether we are relating via one channel or another?

To have ahava of Hashem we must have some yeshes
But...we see that the yidden in Mitzrayim were completely broken, slaves, with no hope of getting out,, of a free life,, let alone loving Hashem.

Yet they were takke freed, taken out, and brought to Har Sinai where they willingly accepted (and loved) Hashem.

But they couldn't do it on their own. It took Hashem's initiative, Moshe as leader and the makkos to accomplish all this .

So we see a person who's bittul, humble.
He may be bittul in either of 2 ways. Maybe he was a yeshes, a somebody with self esteem who realized it's better to be bittul or humble.

The other type of bittul person is one who is a shmatta, who lacks self esteem.

Some bts hit bottom and then become frum out of desperation. Other bts hit top (perceived as top) and realize that they are a somebody, they have accomplished, but the so called top is lacking and then become frum.
