Fact: I think that I am worthless.
Opinion: I am worthless for thinking that I am worthless.
Don't confuse thinking that you are worthless for actually being worthless. You're probably looking at it like playing a role. You say that you're worthless, then every time you have an opportunity to accomplish something you start acting like it. You think "I'm just going to screw this all up because I am so worthless. I will try to succeed, but I will fail because I am worthless." Screwing up is your act, and being worthless is your motivation. Of course, when you succeed at failing that just reinforces your act, because then you feel justified in thinking that you're worthless because you have evidence supporting your claim. In fact, you just enjoyed phenomenal success at that which you applied yourself to; being worthless.
But you aren't worthless, that's just a part you play. You aren't the things you think you are, those are just acting roles that you accept. If you accept the role of a failure, then don't be surprised when you succeed. That's just proof of how capable you are. Could somebody who is playing the role of a successful person fail as well as someone playing the role of a worthless person? Only if they got lucky. And maybe you're just setting yourself up for the ultimate failure; failing at being worthless.
