Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

I'm sorry, and I know how you feel because I have been there. It's the worst feeling in the world. Our capitalist society has this evil way of making us feel worthless. But it's a shitty trick. Don't believe it for a second.
You are not a failure and life is not a game you are supposed to win or lose, that's just capitalism talking.
You provide value, whether it's by watering a thirsty plant or by hugging a loved one. You matter. You are enough.
And even if you didn't provide "value" (whatever that even is is subjective anyway). You don't owe the world anything. You exist, you're alive, therefore you deserve to continue existing.
Everything we do leaves a print on this planet whether we want it to or not. You are here. You are meant to be here. Your existence proves you have a right to be here.
