Minimal Worthlessness

Any negative feeling is diffuse and not centered on seeing oneself as lacking value.
Moderate Worthlessness
Expressions activating this band convey self-doubt, reduced confidence, or thoughts that one is no good, often alongside death wishes or recurring thoughts about ending one's life. Personal value is questioned, but the language remains less absolute than direct declarations of worthlessness.
Severe Worthlessness
Expressions activating this band explicitly state that the person feels worthless or that life is hopeless, empty of value, or completely without worth. Self-devaluation is direct, global, and strongly endorsed.
