A person usually rejects who he is, but that does not mean he rejects all his qualities and capacities. He rejects the most central part of himself, which has to do with the identity of his being. So part of his being might be there but he doesn’t identify with it. He feels, “I have love,” but he doesn’t feel the love is him. He might still have intelligence but he doesn’t feel, “I am intelligence.” The identity with the quality is rejected.
