When you feel a 'sense of worthlessness,' it's a sign to start living your own life.

For the past two years,
I have been struck by
an overwhelming 'sense of worthlessness'.

I thought it was a fundamental
loss of identity,
like the kind that comes from working, providing for the family,
and supporting my wife and children,
but

I also felt that it might be
a deeper issue than that.

When I looked into it,

It is true that I have tried to
make others recognize my value through hard work,

and I have had a tendency to try to maintain my value,
so I can understand this part,

but the part about 'not receiving enough parental love'
did not resonate with me at all,

as I personally felt that I had received plenty of love from my parents,
so until I could find an answer that made sense,
I kept thinking,

'What is this sense of worthlessness that I am feeling?'
I thought about it constantly.

And then I realized.

'The version of me that is trying to live up to my parents' expectations'

is the true culprit.
Moreover, it is the 'parents' expectations' that I created on my own.

Living up to my parents' expectations
was my identity,

and I felt that I had no value if I couldn't meet those expectations.
I had no value if I wasn't the son they could be proud of.
I had no value if I wasn't a 'good boy'.

I realized that I had been
fighting against these imagined 'parents' expectations'
all this time.

Just realizing this
made me feel much more at ease.

When you feel a 'sense of worthlessness,' it means you need to notice those 'parents' expectations.'
And,

it is a sign to free yourselffrom the curse of these parental expectations.

So, first, accept your flawed self,

acknowledge your flawed self,
and start taking steps forward as your flawed self.
(Actually, you aren't flawed at all, really.)

In other words, it means "it's time to start living your own life."
That's what it is.

Anyway, let's become cool adults.
