None of my squares have ever been that full.

[-] zloubida@lemmy.world 23 points 4 months ago

Your worth squares are that full, and always were.

[-] lena@gregtech.eu 9 points 4 months ago

This is incredibly wholesome

[-] tastetheplague@sh.itjust.works 8 points 4 months ago

I appreciate you saying that. I kinda needed to hear it.

[-] stupidcasey@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

Hay, our ancestors didn't brutally murder anyone who is different just for there descendants to turn around and compliment strangers, I expect bloodshed.

[-] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

Ugh.. do I upvote the good satire? Or do I downvote because I hate that some people believe this unironically?

Lemmy is so hard sometimes.

I want to make a shit post but this is something I battle with at my core.

And unfortunately it's been reinforced by those around me.

So I would like any suggestions if there are any

[-] aes@programming.dev 5 points 4 months ago

Change who's around you.

Plan B, try to change how you let them affect you. Easier said than done, but very effective when pulled off.

The perspective shift is this: if they bully you, tease you, put you down, and you get angry and sad, notice that you let them decide your feelings. Instead, view what they say, as something that says more about them than it does you.

Source: I struggled with bullying. I'm still considered odd, but that I'm OK with that.

i mean, your monetary worth will quite literally fluctuate, your social worth will also do that as well, same for most other worths.

[-] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 5 points 4 months ago

I think that's pretty depressing, actually. I mean, if I'm going to be "worth" just as much no matter what I do, why bother doing anything at all?

[-] JargonWagon@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago

Maybe motivation for an action shouldn't be with how more/less worthy it makes you, but rather how it adds to the world and improves/worsens the lives of others.

That being said, the image is bullshit, cause if you become a pedo, you are now less worthy, and that's putting it very lightly.

[-] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 4 months ago

worth in the sense of "i am a human being who is alive and conscious" yeah, but outside of that, no, go get em tiger, climb the leaderboards.

[-] Rozz@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 4 months ago

Maybe it's more like it doesn't fluctuate randomly day to day, but more so it trends depending on your actions.

[-] lohky@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

TW if you fucked up today's NYT connections.

[-] CluckN@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

If I ever meet the Connections Mentat that made, “Extra Virgin olive oil” a category I’m going to piss in their pants.

[-] HonoraryMancunian@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

I was never getting blue or purple

[-] SlopppyEngineer@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

Use decaf, no alcohol and get enough sleep. It reduces those fluctuations a lot.

[-] ocean@lemmy.selfhostcat.com 1 points 4 months ago

Very true about all three. Coffee makes you feel more tired, alcohol makes you more depressed and unclear, and no sleeps hurts everything.

[-] needthosepylons@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Imho an even better idea : abolish the whole concept of self worth. It can't be negative if it doesn't exist. Being is enough, it's what matters the most. Having to "be worth" on top of that, in the eye of others or even oneself ? No thanks.

I know what I'm saying is not very different from the OP, but I care about the nuance.

This message was made by the "my psychiatrist is on holidays" gang.

But I mean it.

But hell are those holidays long.

[-] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 3 points 4 months ago

I wanted to disagree with you or come up with an example of when having self worth would be better than the concept not existing, but I can't think of anything. Maybe I had too many shrooms on my last trip, but I get what you are saying.

[-] kalogreant@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

Thanks I think I actually needed this reminder rn

[-] remer@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Worth fluctuates. I’d say Michael Schumacher is worth a lot less than he used to be…..

[-] jmcs@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 4 months ago

"Worth" in the humanist "all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights" sense, not in the capitalistic "if you aren't rich or making the rich richer, then die" sense.

[-] remer@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Born equal I agree with. Remain equal…. You’re saying a child rapist is worth as much as a brain surgeon?

[-] jmcs@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 4 months ago

Yes. The moment someone questions that they are no better than a fascist.

Some people may need to be detained to prevent harm to other people, but that should always come from a place of respect for everyone's lives and wellbeing and not out of a desire for revenge or punishment.

[-] S3verin@slrpnk.net 1 points 4 months ago

Its good to be reminded about this. Thanks for your post!

[-] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 months ago

Standard deduction>AGI for 6 years running, this meme don't lie

Dignity. So "worth" in the humanist sense of the word, not in the transactional sense.

[-] AFreeLarryHoover@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

Hot Take or something, but worth is not a constant.

You can be ain’t-shit and become great. And sadly, vice versa.

Take some accountability and strive to always be better.
