    I want to make a shit post but this is something I battle with at my core.

    And unfortunately it’s been reinforced by those around me.

    So I would like any suggestions if there are any

      Change who’s around you.

      Plan B, try to change how you let them affect you. Easier said than done, but very effective when pulled off.

      The perspective shift is this: if they bully you, tease you, put you down, and you get angry and sad, notice that you let them decide your feelings. Instead, view what they say, as something that says more about them than it does you.

      Source: I struggled with bullying. I’m still considered odd, but that I’m OK with that.

    Imho an even better idea : abolish the whole concept of self worth. It can’t be negative if it doesn’t exist. Being is enough, it’s what matters the most. Having to “be worth” on top of that, in the eye of others or even oneself ? No thanks.

    I know what I’m saying is not very different from the OP, but I care about the nuance.

    This message was made by the “my psychiatrist is on holidays” gang.

    But I mean it.

    But hell are those holidays long.

      I wanted to disagree with you or come up with an example of when having self worth would be better than the concept not existing, but I can’t think of anything. Maybe I had too many shrooms on my last trip, but I get what you are saying.

    I think that’s pretty depressing, actually. I mean, if I’m going to be “worth” just as much no matter what I do, why bother doing anything at all?

      Maybe motivation for an action shouldn’t be with how more/less worthy it makes you, but rather how it adds to the world and improves/worsens the lives of others.

      That being said, the image is bullshit, cause if you become a pedo, you are now less worthy, and that’s putting it very lightly.

    Worth fluctuates. I’d say Michael Schumacher is worth a lot less than he used to be……
