Why is it good that you exist and why should we care?

I ask this because I need to answer this question for myself and want to copy off your answers instead of actually introspecting.

    Are you saying that some people’s lived experience doesn’t support their own existence mattering? If so, (1) talking to loved ones or a therapist might change that perspective, and (2) if that doesn’t work or isn’t an option, you can find a purpose for yourself. If you find something you believe in, or something that you’re glad exists, that you can contribute to even if only in a small way, you’ll probably find yourself seeing that your existence can and does matter after all. Even just answering people’s questions on Lemmy makes a little bit of a difference. People commenting here have helped me; even if I stopped believing all humans inherently matter, I’d say all the anonymous people who have helped me and others with our questions matter.
