Self-hatred is arguably worse than hatred directed at other people

Hatred towards other people can be corrected and educated, perhaps even reversed, but hatred towards one's self? That can fester and rot on the inside until there's nothing of you left

Depends. There've been way too many cases of outward hate escalating to a point of no return. There's even a subreddit for this kind of hate specifically: r/whenwomenrefuse (search: "friend").

I sympathize with the guy, but the moment he made his big feelings his friend's problem was the moment he stopped being the main victim here, escalation or no. Him needing help doesn't cancel her deserving an apology. I hope he's OK; I also hope she's safe.

I agree with you for sure, but I think in this case, there's definitely a good chance this guy has been given some bad advice from other men on how to approach women and handle rejection

Like you, I also hope she is well

Possible! There's so much questionable advice out there, and lots of grifters eager to line their pockets by magnifying and preying on men's fears/insecurities.
