Are You Actually Worthless… Or Are You Just Measuring It Wrong?
If that made you uncomfortable, it’s because deep down, you know it’s true.
Ever feel like your confidence is a game you’re always losing?
Like, if people react well to you, you feel amazing…
but the second someone ignores you, rejects you, or gives you a weird look—BOOM. Your self-worth is out of the window
It’s exhausting.
And I get it. I used to feel the exact same way.
But here’s the thing: your worth never actually changed.
The only thing that changed… was how you were measuring it.
No, you’re not “not good enough.” You’re just keeping score in a way that guarantees you’ll always lose.
Right now, you’re treating social interactions like a test of your value—if they like you, you pass. If they don’t, you fail.
But stop and think about that for a second…
Why does a stranger’s reaction decide your value?
I used to ask myself that same thing.
Let’s be real—rejection isn’t proof that you suck.
It’s proof that you tried.
Think about it...
🔹 If you talk to 10 people and 2 of them like you, does that mean you’re only 20% valuable?
🔹 If you had a great conversation yesterday but a bad one today, did you suddenly become less of a person overnight?
Of course not.
Yet, most people treat their self-worth like a ranking system that constantly changes based on who gave them attention that day.
Stop Playing the Wrong Game Mann
For years, I let other people’s reactions decide how I felt about myself.And because of that, I never actually felt in control.
Then I flipped the script.
What if, instead of basing confidence on how people react, I based it on how I show up?
What if I stopped measuring success by their response and started measuring it by my own actions?
What if just stepping in, just taking the shot, just being present was already a win?
That’s when everything changed.
So do this instead...
Next time you walk into a conversation, don’t ask:"Did they like me?"
Instead, ask:"Did I show up as my best self?"
Because confidence isn’t about whether people accept you...
It’s about whether YOU do.
