Your worth was settled at the cross, so you can stop renegotiating it in the comments.

GRATITUDE

WHAT THIS MEANS

Looking for proof of your value in reactions means the question gets reopened every single day, by whoever happens to be commenting. That is an exhausting way to live, because the verdict is never final and the next post resets it. Settling the matter somewhere other than public opinion is what frees you to ignore the scoreboard. Worth that strangers can revoke was never worth.

Notice what you check for reassurance and how often, then put one of those out of reach for a few days. When you catch yourself auditioning, name what you are hoping somebody will confirm. Treat the question as closed rather than arguing it again.
