I'm very Catholic, and one of my spiritual directors said, "You think you're worthless, Christ thinks you're to die for." I have to remember that from time to time.

Protestant christian here, damn, Jesus was the real spiritual OP from past times, ngl

I relate to this "feeling worthless" thing Alicia mentioned. I grew up in an achievement-driven environment. And something I love about myself is that, unlike them, I can appreciate someone just by spending super useless time sipping tea and doing nothing together.

"I already have worth how many people can I help?" wow, such a simple change in language can be powerful.

The BIGGEST reason I decided to learn how to love myself was because of my son. My mother always spoke bad about herself - in all ways. She absolutely refused to speak good about herself, and I was around her all the time. We become like the people we are around the most. My association with my mother and her self loathing taught me to loath myself. My son is a dream come true and I want him to love himself, so I teach him by example to love himself with grace, forgiveness, understanding, and humility while also seeking responsible resolutions to actual issues. I screw this up every day but I am honest with him how I am trying and that he makes me work every day to be better. Now if he would just stop leaving empty water bottles in his room, life would be perfect. 😆💛

I love that I take joy in simple things 😊

Bravo!! You're incredible!!

I am a healer. I am kind and empathetic. If I see someone left out or struggling, I pick them up or I am just there for them when they need it. I am so thankful for having this sort of drive inside of me to help others, it gives me so much joy to do.

If you read this, just remember: You can tell them to stop treating you that way. You don't have to endure this. You have the coice to be treated better. (Just learned this, 10/10)

I never realized when I’d leave a job or a relationship where I felt worthless, what I was really feeling wasn’t “I wish I was good enough for xyz”, it was “I wish I was in a relationship or job that appreciated ME.” I thought to not keep changing yourself so everyone likes you was a sign of laziness and meant you’re not a good person if you won’t constantly push yourself to fulfill what everyone else wants.

Something i love about myself- despite everything that has happened, there is goodness left in me. And i still believe there are good, kind and empathetic people out there. Edit- i am here.

In the analogy, if you replace "castle" with "temple"... that's what deconstructing the LDS faith feels like for a lot of people. Self-worth plays into that in a huge way.

I love the fact that I am willing to take steps to make my life better ❤

A very helpful video for today for me. Something I love about myself - I have a rather resilient caring optimism about people - I want things to be good for others because they and people are good (multifaceted of course) but so much to love and learn from each person (even from just these comments here alone!)

I love Greg Baer. He gets a lot of flack for teaching unconditional love, but it really is what people need to hear. People who have insecure attachment styles and BPD are often greatly helped by this "acceptance and commitment therapy". It is also why people keep coming to Christianity because it teaches us the message of God loving us so much that He would die for our sins. No matter what we do He will never leave us if we believe in Him.

This couldn't have come at a better time❤ thanks guys! Something i love about myself is my connection to the abstract and sensitive things like the way the wind feels and the way the birds speak and the way it stirs my heart and makes me fragile like the water.

I'm currently going through a really hard time in my life and I hate myself and blame myself for the circumstances that I'm in, even though it's not all my fault, but I do love that I'm an honest person ( sorry if I made any English mistakes)

Hard one (to name anything about me that I don't find bad), but: I like that I genuinely try to be a good person. And the clolour of my eyes (fair greyish-blueish. that one allways, even in the middle of bad bullying)

❤ this video, thanks. What do I love about myself, I love that I decided to get help for my mental and emotional health. It’s very hard and exhausting, but worth it. So glad I subscribed to this channel. 😊

What a timely video! Primarily topic lately in therapy for me

Whether or not you're valued by someone else is not something you can control. You can control whether or not you love yourself though

Jonathan could you please do a review of Daria? I think that would be awesome. Love your videos

You guys have been talking about an AMA about healthy divorce and co-parenting, where is it???

Why did I wind up with a closer ? It's so painful to deal with him?

Hello everyone, I have a question. How can I tell my therapist that I’m attracted to him? I find it absolutely mortifying and I am so embarrassed about it. The thing is I’ve been seeing him for 9 years so he knows me really well and he can tell I’m attracted to him and I’m having a hard time hiding it. I feel so ashamed.

@MendedLight

Ай бұрын

I think it depends on the why you're telling him. I'm assuming it's not to flirt or start something, but rather to address the elephant in the room. There's nothing shameful about attraction, it just happens, so take heart. Of course, it's not something that can ever be acted upon. He knows this, so even if he knows you find him attractive it may not be necessary to say anything. That said, if you choose to, you can say something like "if I seem weird sometimes it's because I'm attracted to you and I'm just working through that, because we can only ever have a professional relationship. So don't mind me." However, if part of you would say it hoping it would be reciprocated, do NOT say anything. That's dangerous water to be swimming in :)

@@MendedLight Thank you for taking the time to give such a thoughtful response. I really appreciate it. Have a lovely evening.

I just... I still feel like there is a definition problem with the term "worth"... all the definitions have some version of "usefulness or importance, as to the world, to a person, or for a purpose." That's transactional. Worth is the foundational component of transactions. Most of us know people that have been "disposed" because they do not bring "worth" to the world. Look at the homeless population... only a teeny tiny percentage of humans find any worth in them and treat them as such. I have been among them when I was a kid... I was disposable. How do you find worth when you've literally been disposed of over and over by society and everyone that was "supposed" to have loved you? I think that people are asking you about how to connect and feel anchored to society and the ones they love. I truly believe that's what they mean by feeling worthy. They've seen what happens to people who do not serve or produce for others... they've seen them on the street, they've seen them ostracized from groups and families. Feeling your own sense of worth would be great... but it means nothing without a connection to society/family/love. We have little control over that aspect and that's what fills us with anxiety and depression and makes us ask the question of "how to be worthy"

Something I love about myself: I never give up to the point I stop trying when it comes to struggling with life ruts

I love the fact that I am willing to take steps to make my life better ❤
