    Hot Take or something, but worth is not a constant.

    You can be ain’t-shit and become great. And sadly, vice versa.

    Take some accountability and strive to always be better.

    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.

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