It takes time and a lot of practice. The thoughts won't magically go away, but the more positive thoughts you can think of the quieter the negative ones will become, even if they never truly go away.

You can think about positive qualities you have (even if it is hard) and about what makes you happy. You can also turn the question around and ask how you have shown self worth so far. What have you done recently or previously that has made you feel worthy?

If you are feeling worthless, there is no way to stop the thoughts, because it's the fact to yourself. So trying to stop the thoughts won't work, that's why you are asking now. Instead of trying denying your thought, you need to focus on the action to gain back your confidence. By start doing stuff: like new work, new job, new study, volunteer work, etc. The more work you acconplish, the more confient you will feel. You may self doubt that "it's because you always faile at doing stuff, that's why you feel discourage" You think it's the wrong way. The success rate of doing anything is 10%, which means that you need to do 100 stuff, to succeed at 10. If you have just done 10 stuff in yourlife, you can do the math : 1 archivement. So keep trying stuff until you feel your confidence back !

That's not a simple answer. Counselling can help, talking to people on a site like this, reading self help books might benefit massively (on self esteem and self image.)

Realize how much you mean to the people around you. Look at how much you do for others and how grateful they are to you. Think of all the good things you done in life and how great you really are.

That's a very good question. I admire your courage coming to 7 Cups to open up about your feelings. On 7 Cups, there is a Self-Help section where you can locate various guides to work through a variety of issues, such as Depression. There is also a Mood Boosts section. In there, there are a number of guided verbal mindfulness therapies to listen to. Some of which are, Positive Affirmations, Stop Negative Self-Talk Now, Self-Esteem, and You Are Amazing. Finally, stepping away from 7 Cups and pulling from personal reflection. When I've felt worthless I've thought about times when I've helped a friend in a way no one else could have. I put positive self-affirming Sticky Notes on mirrors and walls. I've practiced mindful meditation to accept the nasty thoughts in my head, but learn to move past my fixation. Good luck. I hope you find this useful.

Something that helped me get through feeling worthless was reading aloud some daily inspiration. These can be anything from "I am good enough" or something longer like a motivational quote. One of my personal favorites is: I release the need for approval in my life".
