For what it’s worth I understand how you’re feeling, and those feelings are valid. No need to answer an internet stranger, but why is it that you feel worthless? For me I think it’s because I care too much about what other people, that I can have value unless someone else sees that value and acts on it. I’ve been trying to focus on that, and say the things to myself that I wish others would. It didn’t work at first, but I’ve noticed my self worth increasing ever so slightly the more I do it. So if I could offer some unsolicited advice, try to figure out why you feel the way you do. Without that you can’t start making meaningful changes.

You already got your answer but I just wanted to say good on you. Not too many people are willing to recognize they made a mistake and try to improve. So assuming this is good faith, thanks for being a good person!

Am I a weirdo? If someone tells me to calm down it kinda wakes me up and makes me think about why I’m getting worked up. It doesn’t always calm me down if I think I’m right to be frustrated, but if I’m being unreasonable it usually will get me to take pause.
