How do you cope with feeling so worthless that you don't want to continue?

How do you cope with feeling so worthless that you don't want to continue?

I don't think i owe anything to anyone so i don't feel worthless, just empty, tired.

I guess that's a better way of looking at things, I just wish I was worth something to someone or had something to give to the world.

You can do that by being kind, there's a lot of need for empathetic people in this world because it's filled with monsters wearing human skin. Just don't let yourself be vulnerable for people to exploit you.

Theres no cosmic law that states you must give something to the world to be of worth. When I realized that I personally became less concerned about being useful to the world, because frankly, that only serves the gears of society more than myself or anyone that matters to me.

I also agree with EndlessRage. I think kindness towards oneself and others, especially one's loved ones is worth more than most things.

For me it's less about being useful to the world and more about having something of social value to my peers (eg. Being funny, likeable etc) so maybe they'd care about me more and I could have friends and be happy etc. it's hard for me to properly put down on paper but I just wish I had something that made people care about and value me. It's stupid

I feel worthless in the existential sense that life has no inherent meaning. But that means we are all worthless because no matter what we do we will all be dead in 100 years and no one will remember us or what we did. Obviously, there are famous historical exceptions who have been remembered for 100's, even 1000's of years. But eventually the earth will die too and it will be as if life never existed.

How can we fast forward to that last sentence...
