will i ever leave a mark in this world?

I am always scared from the dying without accomplishing anything to the world.
scared if I am just an insignificant worm!
I need to matter to the world.
I feel empty and dead inside when I encounter this kind of depression!
HELP 😶

Tell you what. Since I was 16 I feared the same thing. I mean what are you expecting to do? Build another pyramid or Great Wall? As far as I can tell. If we treat everybody we meet with the same respect we want from them and (hopefully) they have smile on their face and a better view on people and life or themselves in general. What more could you do? Just gotta make sure every new connection is treated like it's a old friend or family member with respect and love.

@HeyITHAPPENS: you make it so simple which is right, it is simply.
Thanks a lot :)

@KaiKaga: we could create all sorts of extraordinary things, build all sorts of amazing structures, make all the money in the world. Sure it will feel good (for ourselves) that doesn't change the fact that structures, money, all things. Are inanimate objects that will hold no permanent gratitude or emotional connection towards us. If I can make another person, who struggles, feels all the same hopelessness feelings I do at times, and is trying as hard as me to make it through. If I can make it easier for them, and they can use it as an example to make even more people's lives easier. For the sake of humanity. Couldn't possibly be anoything more important or impressionable that a person could do. You're welcome brother.

@HeyITHAPPENS: that's inspiring, i feel that i gained that needed insight, I might have been thinking superficially and being narrow-minded and greedy.
i am pretty sure my question came from the fact I am an introversion and seek perfectionism, and I want to prove to myself that I can accomplish something in the future not just setting unrealistic dreams.

@KaiKaga: we can all think superficial and be a bit greedy at times. Just keep on keeping the big picture in mind and mountains will be moved. Life is a lot more simple than society makes it out to be(in my personal opinion at least). Live and love. Doesnt make you any less important.

@HeyITHAPPENS: "Live and Love"
GOT IT :D
