This is more important than you can imagine.
Let’s say you post a selfie – not even a naked selfie, just a selfie. And 100 followers like or upvote it, 25 or 30 leave really nice comments, and one asshole says something about something pretty minor like… I dunno… a mole, or acne scar, or stretch mark.
If you can see your self worth you acknowledge the 100 human beings who Liked you and the 25-30 human beings who like you so much they took the time to actually say so.
If you have self-worth, you get that 100 people have just included you in their universe, and by acknowledging that you’ve made your universe 100 people larger as well!
If you have no self-worth you take the one dickwad’s comment to heart, and thereby totally fucking erased not only yourself but 100 other people who’ve acknowledged and appreciated you!
And you’ve given that one pants-wetting incel more authority and acknowledgment and respect than all 100, or 1000, or 10,000 admirers.
“There will always be someone who can’t see your worth. Don’t let it be you.”
