    Feeling that anything or anyone views you as “worthless” is a symptom, not a diagnosis. Just sayin, I’ve been down this road and back a few times.

    You can get better, you can feel better. It takes effort and honesty with yourself that may be uncomfortable, and no, it’s not about “positive thinking” as much as it’s about learning how your own survival mechanisms work and learning how they’re working against you.

      Also coming to terms with what you can reasonably change and what you reasonably can’t (yes I know how limiting that sounds), and overcoming the envy and the FOMO by just being the best you you can be.

      If that last part sounds wishy washy, well… it is…, but you really can develop a strong sense of self-worth by simply being nice to others. Spread a bit of joy in your sphere of influence.
