We can acquire this through implicit instruction from early caregivers and family members, through behaviors like ignoring, neglecting, diminishing, or otherwise absent attention, ways in which the child is not responded to or overseen.
We can also receive this through explicit instruction, such as insulting, comparing, over-correcting, experiencing a verbalized statement of lack of care, or controlling amounts and varieties of attention.
Unresponded to or chided thoughts, feelings, experiences lead to the understanding that the child is not worth hearing or engaging with, caring or protecting.
Correspondingly, or at a later date, society says that some are worth more than others.
This happens materially, such as class, innately, color, gender, or sexuality, justly, achievement, or effort, and righteously, such as in the case of religion.
Again, the child or young adult mind learns they are not worth comfortable living, good health, a safe home, nutritious food, or protection in their surrounding environment.
But others... are.
So here is the reiteration of worth-less-ness.
Now, if you learn to expect less than others, you also learn to do more than others.
Expecting less, doing more, forfeiting into doing nothing at all leads to emotional problems.
Having a mentality of being too small to be as effective as others leads to emotional imbalances that cannot be re-corrected through conscious thought patterns.
And therefore, all of this tumbles into coping behaviors to escape the pain and exhaustion.
Some of these could be drinking, smoking, scrolling, staring at screens in preferred methods, and human escapism or relying on other people to regulate one's own feelings.
All of this together tends to tumble into health and larger life problems.
It leaves an individual with a weird sense of self, a lot of shame, guilt, anxiety, fear, and confusion in being themselves.
Worth-less-ness, the driver of human misery, and human misery leads to human aggression.
So, to summarize, worth-less-ness, comparative worth, which results at its core from not being heard as a child and then later in life, leads to doing it all, overcompensation, until collapse, doing nothing, stalling out, giving up, emotional disturbances, substance abuse, tech addiction, relationship dependence, health problems, and larger life disturbances, a corrupted sense of self, including an ego that is too large or too small, which tends to result in an existence that is driven by sense of worthlessness.
This may be known commonly as human misery, and human misery leads to human aggression towards others and the self, meaning self-harm and suicidality.
