What gives you self worth?

I used to want to read to escape and discover the great things between the covers of a book. Then I used it for self worth. Lately I use playing music instruments, primarily, for self worth. I am reading a little since my mind is vacant. Can you relate? I read for a few decades and never really was able to get lost in a book. Today I might get lost in anything I do.

My heart of gold and good nature and who and all I am .

I don’t base my worth on what my body does which is good since my body lays in bed all day.:crazy_face:

I may try to volunteer work a few hours.
The manager hates me and talks down at me but there is nothing that can make me see her as superior me but however she does know what work needs to be done so I can perhaps stand as I stand and believe as I believe and just ignore her bad behaviour and do my thing.

I dont think I understand the term self worth. What is self worth? I asked Bard

Self-worth is a person’s overall sense of their own value and worth. It is based on their beliefs about themselves, their abilities, and their place in the world. People with high self-worth believe that they are worthy of love, respect, and happiness. They accept themselves for who : they are, even with their flaws.

My value and worth : My mom thinks I am valuable. As a local tech blogger, I am valuable to my country. In the eyes of the Almighty, I am valuable. To the person on the street I gave money to, I am valuable.

Beliefs about myself : I believe I am smart. I know my limitations. I am working to better myself. I share myself with the world.

My abilities : I am good with tech. I am passionate about tech. I love writing. I am writing my second book.

My place in the world : I can teach others. I love learning and teaching others about things I am passionate about.

Being stable gives me self worth. Knowing I’m fighting something and now it’s under my control makes me good about myself. I learned to enjoy the little things. A good meal I cooked, a good conversation. Caring for people and them caring for me. Doing good at my job. Taking care of myself to look and feel good.

I like to get lost in what I am doing

I loose my self and become part of what I am loosing myself in like working around house, playing drums, riding bicycles, driving remote controlled cars

When I lose myself I am in the moment and active weather mentally or physically or both

I can enjoy myself and others and all things have a worth to me

I have next to no sense of true self worth. I’m trying to build that but it doesn’t feel like I truly believe it yet

Feeling loved is the main one

Start by accepting yourself then your friends and family warts and all. Unless you can’t then you make new family

Love is big on self worth

I still have insecurities and low self esteem because life has thrown me big issues to deal with

Setting boundaries is also important for self worth.

I felt like â– â– â– â–  for many weeks, especially in the mental hospital
