i am going to challenge your im worthless=people need me statement. ask you to reevaluate that one. it isnt the best thing to gain your worth by what you do for others. and then that throws into the works i idea that you are always there for others and nobody has time for you and make you feel like crap.

worth needs to come from within you. what are you worth to yourself, not what you gain by giving to others. I came up with one indisputable fact. one good thing about me that I could not deny no matter how bad I felt about myself. for me it was that I was a good writer. I have always gotten A's on my papers for as long as I can remember and write professional evaluations today that receive praise. there is no denying that I am a good writer. so when I started running off that list of bad things in my head, I could say, yeah, but I am a good writer to compliment myself and feel good instead of bad. soon I found more good things about me and added them to the list. it took awhile but eventually I started believing that I was a good person with these good qualities. this is how I built my worth.
