Decent question really. I guess I was saying that while it’s been disappointing for me, it’s considered desirable and a good attitude by some people.
Perhaps you think too low of yourself? There will always be people who will prefer you to think this or that. Your parents, some dickhead politicians, your peers, ... You don't need everybody to like what you think.
I didn’t say it affected my sense of self worth.
Maybe you have unrealistic expectations. Have you tried thinking even lower of yourself?
I’ve considered it, even tried that, but it didn’t really seem to be of benefit to anyone.
