If you are neurotic about your diminishing self worth, accept that you are worthless.

[CreamCat]

I am accepting my worthlessness. Once you accept your worthlessness, you become freer and less neurotic.

Worthlessness is where you start.

Accept that you are worthless and your life is meaningless.

Even if your IQ is 160 and above, you are worthless.

Yep. I am accepting that too.

You are not special.

Everything you think you are or have is nothing but GRACE, so be grateful and enjoy.

But are you actually accepting your own worthlessness... or just telling yourself that you are? 

This idea can actually lead to repression and other traps, because there is no such thing as worth or worthlessness. Worth and Worthlessness are just two conjoined imaginary friends.

So, if you're trying to convince yourself that you're worthless, that is simply patently false. And you will be abiding in illusion, just falling over on the other side of the illusion.

What is actually true, is that what you are is so unshakably valid that ideas of worth and worthlessness just aren't compatible with it.

So, instead of accepting your own worthlessness, which is a one way ticket to Nihilism and all its various traps, try to get in touch with what's true by removing falsehoods. Empty your cup.

So, instead of adopting another belief about yourself, simply look at reality beyond your framework to see that the ideas of worth and worthlessness are not even real things.

"You're not special." Whoever told you that lied to you. Stop telling yourself that. That's one of the worst drinks of Koolade you'll ever take. That's tortuous. You'll live your life looking for something special to do, whatever that means. And everything in life will disappoint you. Everybody will disappoint you. That is a curse to believe that you are special. The greatest gift you can give yourself is to recognise yourself as a humble person living a humble life within your own human nature, within this human planet, within the planet that governs all of us. Stop looking to be the exception to the rules. You are not an exception. You are governed by the same rules everybody else is. And now you're going to learn the rules. If you say you're special you think you exist outside the rules and that's when you get in trouble. That's when you get ill and you say things like, "I can't believe this is happening to me." And why not? "Because I'm special! The rules don't apply to me." Well, then jump off a building and see if gravity does. I'll meet you at the bottom.

I agree that thinking we are worthless can cause us to fall into emotional and mental traps.

At least, for bad actors, we aren't worthless because our body parts are worth a price, right? 

Unless, what you mean by 'worthless'  is returning to a state of being open to new ideas, and letting go of attachment to our perceived 'self'. Then that is a 'good' process. 

Cheers!
