I think this is what a person with a very low self esteem would say. Someone with insecurity issues too. Because why else will one be so bugged about trivial things, going as far as saying they deserve little. I'd give an unsolicited advise the person should stop worrying about public acceptance and just be themselves. There's almost no metric to measure anything when it comes to the things people claim they do or the ones that actually do. The best is to not be bothered by them, and put in your best, I believe the person would come back smiling ultimately
