Not humanity, just you. I'm sick of people trying to answer for everyone else. I want to know what the individual thinks and no more than that. I'll ask that for that when I grow curious.

Let me narrow this down. No advice either. Speak from your perspective please.

To the world, I am worth nothing. I can NEVER repay or pay forward what others have done for me. I am just one out of about six billion people. Others have shared my appearance, my ideas and thoughts, my emotions, and my personality. To the world, I am not truly special.
To those around me, I am usually worth whatever I can give them.
To God, I am worth much. I look plain at best, I'm not the smartest person in most groups, I have many severe flaws in my heart including my lack of faith and hope (and my negativity, which must be obvious by now, lol), and I guess that the only thing that I am better at than anyone else is reading my own handwriting. I can never understand why, and perhaps I shouldn't try to, but God loves me, and I'm not worth that love, but with it I am worth much. We all are.

Your true worth to the world is the net value you bring to everyone else. Same is true at the personal level. Your worth to an individual is established by the value you add/subtract from his/her life.
Positive value - You have respect, need, admiration, or love. Zero value - you have apathy. Negative value - you are regarded as a criminal or as a pariah
Same is true for employment: Positive - you're employed. Zero - you're on the bubble. Negative - you're unemployed

Probably my loyalty to the people around me. Those who I love mean the world to me. Thinking about losing them, I don't even want to, it would hurt just too much.
I almost wish I had a more...dare I say poetic answer to this. I guess that's a virtue of mine as well. I'm striving to find the spontaneous beauty in everything now. Wish me luck.

Absolutely nothing. All human acheivement is worth the life of a single flea on the cosmic scale.
Someday within probably 1,000 years, all humans will be dead. Then what? Why struggle?

My wit and wisdom. Every once in a while I manage to get my brain working well enough to be charming or witty. And sometimes I can give good advice, or at least advice that sounds true.

i have learnt that principles such as honesty and integrity are not the outdated ideals, but the mortar that holds together the foundation upon which life is built.
That negative feelings such as anger,
envy, and resentment must be understood and
redirected or they will suffocate the life out of
you and poison the universe that surrounds you.
I think that realizing that gives me worth

Just be the best you can be. Always think of others and help your family, friends, and neighbors in need. Just remember, what goes around, comes around.

By having faith, I know that I am important to God and that gives me self worth.
Good character provides a trust with others and that gives me selfworth.
