MODERATORS
Due to the way I was raised, I have a tendency to view my self worth as solely deriving from my actions.
It has had some benefits, like running into a burning building once I was out to get a family member out.
But it also has some downsides. It's hard for me to view my own happiness or even life as having intrinsic value.
It's especially bad if someone I love could concievably benefit from me not being around anymore.
Years of therapy have really helped though.
