automuling

Resisting change and resisting moving forward no matter how insane the consequences.

Elinor understands the mule effect when trying to change other people's minds. People dig their heels in and refuse to budge during an argument. But automuling seems a bit strange, especially when resisting change that can help you move forward results in nasty consequences

automisery

self-loathing, self-hatred, self-hate.

Origin: Greek ("auto, 'self'" + "miso, 'to hate'")

Since misery is a state of hatred of some, or all, of one's surroundings, automisery becomes the hatred of oneself.

Reference: Galdebrach, The Lord of Time; a time-travel series by Dan Trivates

Esau wallowed in automisery, as he reflected on the many poor decisions he had made, over the course of his life.
