The tragic part is that there's a huge amount of miscommunication and misunderstanding within the family. Loki doesn't realize he's been loved. Or, if he does, he can't believe it and needs something else to prove himself. The point is, you do some pretty stupid and desperate things to feel love and self-worth.

YES. Exactly this. That was what broke my heart at the end of Thor, that Loki's descent into self-destruction comes so obviously from his desperation for worth and that the people who loved him couldn't express it in time, in the right ways, and that Loki wouldn't let himself believe they were trying. He kept making worse and worse choices based on a misguided premise until he crossed a threshold from which he could never return, from which even Thor with all his might couldn't save him. And the worst part is that I think Loki saw it happening and genuinely didn't see how he could stop it. His ability to forgive himself was actually a lot more shallow than his family's ability to forgive him.
