You are important too. We all are important! That's why we are here on this wonderful site. Every discussion we post matters. People read it, they post a comment and they even criticize. That means we are important too! No matter how small our participation in the society is, or how big we contribute in our environment, each of us is important! I just believe that nobody was created in this world to be considered worthless. So let's build up that self-esteem and tell ourselves everyday that we are important!

True, indeed. Everyone is special in their own way. Every one counts. Unless it is every individual, the society / the world would not exists. And yes its wonderful to be a part of this website where you can openly share your views and let people give their honest opinions. There are something which you cannot share with real people in your lives as they might tend to be biased but not here. Cause we don't know each other and we would give genuine suggestions. All the best. :)

True and we get criticize as well but though we get hurt, it's ok because we don't personally know those people.

Well I believe criticism also helps us develop. We just cannot grow with sweetness, life needs multiple flavor to make it yummy. :) So one should take criticism positively and utilize it to his/her benefit. That makes a CHARACTER. And the best criticism is normally from the mass. As they are unbiased. Cheers :)

Everyone is important. Some people don't realize it at times. But you just have to pick yourself up and keep believing in your self. Don't let anyone tell you that your worth is less important then theirs.

We all have a role to play in our day to day lives.Like here in Mylot we have to mingle with each other, learn small scale cultural values and differences. Be able to assist and get assisted, have friends and enjoy living mylotting. Everything we do here shows how important one is, one may not notice but the other person will. Do you know the result of all these? Growth of this amazing site. Self esteem is build in the ground that there is great motivation and appreciation for every little effort employed in something. You and me have been empowering each other this way- and that is how important you are to me, and that is the main reason why I love this friendly community of Mylotters.

I know that I am important but still a lot of times I feel worthless. Maybe that's where my problem lies. I don't value myself too much. Your post is very uplifting. Made me feel good about myself. At least while I was reading it.

Go toni. Share it to the world. I sometimes adore reading your discussions because they boost the spirits and make me smile. It's nice to read and respond to faceless friends for the purpose of interaction alone. It's even better when these friends get to feel good just by reading posts. No one was born worthless, I second the motion.

hi toniganzon yes we are all important, we are uniques, we each have our own finger prints, our own personalities. My husband taught me to think well of myself with this mantra: I am Patsie, I am somebody, I am unique, I love myself and I am Patsie, I like myself now y ell it loud and believe it. Love thy self that you may love your fellow men.,Yes we are important each one of us to the whole and to our beloved community of mylot.

Hello Hatley and toniganzon! We shouldn't feel worthless, right! We are all important. We are here for a reason; we are here for purpose. We should love ourselves! Honestly, I don't feel good at myself. I think I have a low self-esteem. So, this discussion encourage me to love myself more and be more confident and feel happy for myself. That's why i love mylot because it motivates me to go for my dreams and encourage me to feel good about myself. Take care everyone!!

yes you are and i am too. we are important to our families. we know we are important although there are times we are being forgotten. sometimes we do not feel they need us, because we don't feel it. they don't even know how to appreciate things we do for them especially our sacrifices for ourselves just to give what they need and what they want.

Hi toni, yes i too agree that we all are important as an individual and are unique too in this world. The healthy criticism helps you to analyze our mistake and the next time we are more careful about it, resulting in our own improvement. When someone close to us criticize our act, we do argue with them as well but here in this great site we just accept it as part of a posting and of course consider them (the strangers) as right.

I agree, all of us are important and special in our own ways. It is very nice of you to be inspiring all of us to be self confident. You are important to us too... no matter how smile these words may sound, but the thought made it count a lot.

I quarrelled with my husband yesterday,he said I was a worthless woman that everything must depend on him.His words hurt me a lot and just thinking my life's meaning. But,ah yes,you remind me I am important too. At least I have the ability to give the birth to my child, and he cann't, at lease, i can share my idear with you, a new friend.

You deserve a hug and sorry for saying this but your husband should be careful with his words. Even if he's angry nobody deserves to be called worthless, much more a wife. I'm a wife and a mother. I earn more than my husband does. He just graduated from his second major and hasn't found a job yet, but he hasn't heard anything from me at all and i never called him worthless! Sorry but i don't like your husband at this time.

Now, I understand CSR2007 why you said you'd like to be a man if you were to choose on my post. I pray that God will have His way on making your husband realize how worthy you are. Glad that Toniganzon wrote this post and made you feel better. Sure, myLot helps a lot.

Thank you. You are a great mother, a good mother, and a kindly friend.

Hi toni Well, I dont know whether I am important to many others or not but yes, I do know that there are some people on this planet (mylot included) who are important to me and mean much to me. I never want to be important to anyone though I do feel that sometimes, I do become important (and it has been quite late that anyone made me feel important). For you, I am not that sure about others, but personally for me, you have become an important person here as I find your discussions more pleasant and more enticing than many others. You have that variations that I love to read and many a times participate. On General Terms, yes, everyone is important and here (not only on Mylot but also on the planet) for some specific purpose and reason. We should appreciate that fact, realize that and also work towards accomplishing our reason to be around. And yes, a word of caution - there is quite a subtle line between this feeling important and self esteem and EGO! We should be careful not to overdo and turn into an egoistic person.

I love the last part. Some people do feel they are so highly important above all else. Now that is totally what you call air! I learned how to give importance to myself when i read the bible. I am so important that God created me in his own image. Equally important to everybody else.

I strongly agree,each of us is important and everyone's opinion matters in a normal world.Every post we make here on Mylot is significant because it says something about our personality and preferences and every opinion we express has its value,so we are indeed important and unique,each and every of us.

Yes and we should remind ourselves that all the time when we are feeling weak, depressed and unimportant.
