Watch This If You're Struggling With Your Self-Worth

Loving yourself may sound simple, but we all know how hard it is. It can be a long journey to accepting this, but it’s worth it. As hard as it may be, you should never give up on loving yourself because you deserve it. So here are a few things that do not determine your self-worth.

It's like yall can sense the shit I'm going through

it's really hard to build self worth when the world daily convinces you that you're nothing without everything you mentioned in this video

when somebody is nice to me, my brain just thinks “They are probably doing this to embarrass me”

"Your past does not define you"
Wow I needed that, thanks ❤️

To hear someone say that “my opinion is valid and valued” had me in tears. For so long I’ve felt unimportant and nothing more than a social filler. Like something people don’t really care for, and just have around when they need an extra person. I’ve been told so often by a toxic friend that my opinion doesn’t matter, and that they don’t care about what I have to say. It’s been so detrimental to my mental health. I’ve never valued myself and my own opinions and only cared about what other people thought of me, and really only liked what other people like.

I know it was targeted towards a large audience and not me specifically, but hearing those words really meant so much to me. I really needed to hear that, and I’ll probably need to hear it a lot more before I start to truly believe it, or internalize it.
I couldn’t tell you for sure which of my opinions are my own. I’m not even sure if I have my own opinions; but I’m going to try to hardest to learn what they are.

“Social media should be fun” the “should” is so fitting

You know it’s bad when any kind of attempt to make you feel better, only makes you feel a lot worse.

Thank you for this video. For the past decade, my life has been a complete mess and I can't help but feel desperate and angry at myself about my long unemployment, lack of money, and mental illnesses (EDIT: perhaps even a low form of autism).

From time to time I return to this video to remind me to get out of the proverbial gutter.

I must admit, at 53 I still struggle with the empty feeling that goes with being single and childless. It hasn't always been this way. I lost my son 18 years ago and I have been divorced for 9 years.

[Cherrycreamsoda]

I’m trying to go on social media less because, even though seeing “better” people on there makes me feel less, I still don’t think being as popular/talented as those people will make me more satisfied. It’s all a big lie we’re sold

I struggled with self-worth for awhile after going through a few years where I was around toxic people and in environments that hurt my mental health. These videos definitely helped me find a place to start and I've been doing things that have helped rebuild my self-worth:
- Seeing a therapist more often
- Having my appearance match who I am on the inside and feel like I see myself in the mirror
- Having a job in a healthy work environment
- Reflecting on how I can improve myself and do it because I want to be the best version of myself, rather than do it for someone else.
- Setting boundaries
- Recognizing red flags in people and distance myself from them
- Spending more time reflecting
- Taking better care of myself

I'm in a lot better place now than I was last year

I have to admit, when you said your childhood doesn’t define you and you can’t control who your parents are I teared up a bit I needed to hear that

[MindNow]

*Ive struggled with this for a VERY long time, but after a long years of internal work, I realize that my childhood has affected me a lot!* 🙏❤️
( _believe it or not, YOU are already awesome_ 😊)

i wanna be supportive
i wanna be happy for myself and others
I wanna be confident
I wanna be relaxed
I wanna be loving
i don't wanna be pushy
i dont wanna be selfish
i dont wanna be conceited
i dont wanna stressed
i dont wanna be cold
so finding self-worth is just as hard as the test I probably just failed ( especially with toxic standards)

I'm in a strange limbo where I graduated college and am waiting for a job so I can move out and be independent. I'm also dealing with trauma and valuing myself and I really needed this soft-spoken video tonight. Thank you XOXO

I feel strongly for point 6. It's so hard to not look at social media or people my age being so successful while thinking about why am I still at this 'stuck' stage without achievement. I still need to remind myself all the time that everyone has a different timeline (also personality, background, interest, skills) so that I don't beat myself up for making a slow progress.

[kennyundrx]

I've been painfully struggling with forgiving myself with my mistakes, and recognizing when I need to love myself. It's been so hard these past few months and I sobbed while watching this because it helped so much, and hit me in a place I hadn't realized it would.

Thank you. 🧡

EDIT | 08/31/2023: Well over a year ago; I made this comment during a time in which I was struggling immensely, however, thankfully I have been doing leagues better but we all still have our days.
