How do you view yourself?
Do you see yourself as worth it?
Just curious.
Oh YEEEEEEEE
I'm tired and may answer the first question later.
For the second questions, heck yeah! I love being who I am.
I think I answered that less than 24 hours ago.
I am uniquely me. No one can take that away from me.
Am I worth it as what?
as a human? and how do you determine human worth? how you determine the values that constitue worthiness?
For me everything matters...
Worth it? It is my goal to rock beyond belief.
I am an awesome person waiting to get out. Just you wait. ;)
As of lately, I view myself as absolutely crap.
Am I worth it? As of lately, I don't feel lke I'm worth it
However, these are just emotions I'm feeling. In reality I am a pretty decent person overall and I am totally worth it. I just need some time to see that.
I have a very low self esteem. I've a horrid view of myself. A lot of worthlessness going on here.
I'm a dirtbag
Feeling pretty awesome at the moment... sure that will change at some point, probably over something stoopid. :P
I'm feeling rather flat and somewhat suicidal most of the time and I still have people who think they need to knock me down and walk over me on a regular basis, plus I'm often somewhat down on myself with self loathing as well
I know I am generally a good person so I try not to take the downers of life too seriously and just work on making improvements
We are all wonderful, beautiful human beings who have already likely beaten the odds that society has oh-so-graciously stacked against us. Our unusual and unique perspectives and insights, having seen both sides of the gender fence, will one day be generally viewed as beneficial to the human race as a whole.
We are not only survivors, but are bridges across the mysterious gender gap that is perceived by most people. Among other things, transfolk could likely be the ultimate relationship counselors.
My father told me almost every day of my childhood that I was worthless and a complete waste. I never believed it for one second.
I used to live with a recurring nightmare: a half-dead baby lying inert in my arms; me sobbing: "who could have done this to you?"
After years, I figured out its meaning. The baby was me. And I was the one who had starved it to death. Out of shame and disgust, I had hid the baby (my female identity) from view. I choked off its voice to the point of suffocation.
This realization was my turning point. From that moment on, I vowed to do everything I could to nurture that baby back to life.
Seeing my predicament from a parent's point of view was helpful. As a parent, how could I help but protect this child?
And now I fight every day to rebuild that child's sense of self-worth. In my case, it wasn't the rest of the world that failed that child. It was I.
I have come to realize that valuing yourself isn't a form of self-indulgence. It is the birthright of the person inside.
I know that this can be hard to feel when so many around you look away. But your job as a "parent" is to protect the person within and to make them feel worthy of love. It's hard work, but you're worth it.
You're darn well worth it!
I'm worth more than my market value!

Kia Ora Emo,
In the conventional sense.............
How do you view your "self ?" = Through life's mirror -The self is just a reflection of all the eye sees :icon_wave:
Do you see your "self" as worth it ? = Yes, what makes up (what we call) the self is worthy :icon_yes:
Metta Zenda :)
Today I feel less than worthless.
