> Are you saying that in order to have a high self-worth someone needs accomplishments?
I'm not sure what you even mean by "high-self-worth". I used different terms in my reply to try to make my original point clearer and make sure I was clear to reject the way that some people treat unsuccessful people condescendingly. I think condescension is rarely warranted, certainly not based on what we typically call "success" or "failure".
As to "self-worth", I dunno. I'm not sure how we all take that term. I'd rather we drop it entirely and not have any ego about anything. I appreciate the way pride is seen as a sin. All forms of egotism are obnoxious and pathological in my view.
People should just accept that they are as they are, focus on being loving and kind to one another while doing all the necessary things to care for themselves and their own well-being.
I know I'm being tangential. I'm trying to say that I don't advocate for any idea where I ought to feel that I'm a more valuable person because of my successes. I'd rather the successes be only about their own value. If I succeed at expressing my thoughts to you, the value is in the communication itself and not in self-worth for me or anything.
