I found this page to be very helpful in explaining the lore a bit.

Basically Kama was bullied by the other Gods to shoot Shiva with a love arrow to make him fall in love with Parvati (hence what she said about power harassment among Gods); and ended up being killed by Shiva for it.

Therefore regardless of whether Kama loved her position as the God of love in the beginning, it all turned into bitter resentment after Shiva turned her into Ananga. After this she ended up resenting Shiva, Parvati, and others who resemble them-do gooders and serious people; and end up loving the polar opposite (no good failures). Her take on love also took a cynical turn and she ended up with a twisted personality who absolutely hates love itself since it's also what contributed to her demise.

At least that's my take on Kama. Haven't read her profile yet so TM might have made a different approach to her characterisation.
