Disclaimer: If I owned Thor, I would have made Loki the main character
This is partially based off an interview with Tom, where he tied to explain Loki's motivation in the Avengers without giving away any spoilers.

Denial.
It's not my fault my plan failed!
Anger.
Thor is to blame, if he had just stayed out of my way I would have succeeded!
Bargaining.
I would give anything to do it all over again, show them what kind of king I could be.
Depression.
But who will there be left to care once I prove myself? I'm so alone. I'm not worthy to be the son of Mother and Father. I'm a monster, and what's worse I'm a failure.
Acceptance.
No, I wanted to be a good king, but I went about it the wrong way. I was not incorrect in my plan.
I should have explained to Sif the reason why I did not end Thor's banishment. I believed then that Fa- the AllFather sent him away as a political statement to Jotenheim. Asguard has punished leaders of unprovoked attacks against other realms before to show that they did not approve of their actions and prevent war.
I should have expressed my concerns to Heimdall about the Warriors Three disobeying me and the political ramifications it would ignite.
I should have warned Mother of my plan to assinate the Jotun king. Since it appeared that he was trespassing with intent to harm the AllFather, any actions taken against him would have been in self defense.
While the Ice Giants were busy finding the next in line to the throne, Asguard could have taken the moral high ground and cemented the peace treaty with the new king as a sign of goodwill. Jotenheim would have been so grateful that we didn't start a war for Laffey's attack, that they would have agreed.
Thor's return, however, would have unbalanced everything. He is not one for subtlety; he would not try to understand when it is easier for him to run off hammer flying.
I needed to keep him busy- it's not my fault the Destroyer has only two command settings 'Kill' and 'Don't Kill'. The thing walks a mile a minute, he should have been able to outrun it.
Was I the only child to listen to stories of the last great war and tremble? Was I the only one to see the horrors in our elder's eye? If I could not spare us a war, then I could not spare our enemies.
I only wanted peace.
I still only want peace.
But now I have a better idea of how to get it.
From a smoking crater somewhere near the north pole, a thin dark haired man stood amidst the snow for a moment then vanished.
