You are driving 45mph in a 20mph school zone. A police officer pulls you over and writes you a ticket. The ticket is $150, 4 points off your license, and a mandatory appearance in court. On the day of the court appearance, you stand before the judge and say: "I know I broke the law, I'm sorry I did, and I take full responsibility for both my actions and I will fulfill the legal punishment for them." Is your statement one of self-loathing?
But if you consider yourself a helpless sinner who deserves eternal hell, then that's definitely self-loathing.
I suggest you think better of yourself. Nothing you do should offend a grand God so deeply to the point that you deserve to suffer for the rest of your existence after you die.
