You don't have to care what other people think; I wouldn't expect you to. Also, I don't assume that I know anybody better than they know themselves. One person's view on whether another is worthless or not does not have to be based on whether they know them better than they know themselves. And I wasn't referring to you, so you don't have to be annoyed.
I'm speaking of people long gone...deduction through retrospection.
If I don't care what you think when you say I'm not worthless...how does that make me feel not worthless? You assume I wouldn’t listen or care…so why bother speculating on something that isn’t anything to anyone other than yourself? Unless you are projecting yourself in the hopes of finding something that you deem as not “worthless” in those who see themselves as “worthless” so you don’t feel “worthless”. Or, you wish to appear "nice", or...?
But I didn't mean you.
What other people say does affect some people on here so, knowing that other people don't think they're worthless might sometimes actually help them. Maybe not much, but even if it makes them feel just a bit better then there was a point to it. Just because it doesn't change the way you view yourself, that doesn't mean it doesn't help other people/. I know that when I've been feeling sad, people on here have helped me. They haven't necessarily changed the way I feel about myself personally, but they've made me feel better. So even though what other people think about you doesn't mean anything to you, that doesn't mean that there's any point telling people not to try and help others on here. Sometimes when people feel really sh*t, just knowing that someone else cares about them can actually make some difference.
And I don't do it to appear nice. A lot of the things I say on here probably make be either look like a tosser or a selfish bastard sometimes, I don't just say things to people because I feel that I should say that, or I won't to project a particular image of myself. I don't lie to people.
