How to raise Self-esteem?

You're still a young man and nowhere near your potential so it's normal for your self-esteem to be lower, especially in today's society. Work out your goals and start making progress to raise your value and your opinion of yourself.

Find your vices, quit them in entirety

Masturbate? Stop. It’s not helping you.

Play video games 2+ hours a day? Stop. It’s not helping you.

On your phone when you wake up, before bed, during meals, when socializing? Stop. It’s not helping you.

Chances are you may not have those exact problems (they were my biggest) but I know with 100% certainty you know of at least 3 things you’re doing daily that make you weaker.

Work on eliminating those. It worked wonders for me.

If you fancy yourself a Jordan Peterson fan, he talks about this a lot. It really just boils down to discipline, which in itself will make you confident. Just search “Jordan Peterson stop doing the things that you know are wrong”

Schwarzenegger has admitted to struggling with self-esteem issues.

He talks about being his own worst critic, and how to develop confidence by taking action, and putting in the time at the gym.

Also, Jerry Brainum describes how Schwarzenegger used "modelling" to build his confidence.

Find a role model, and mimic them to attain the qualities you like about them until you've internalized those qualities.

I have started lifting heavily

Focus on your diet. There's a theory that gut bacteria influences numerous psychological factors. If you're on top of your training and on top of your nutrition; you'll start feeling; and looking better.

childhood trauma

Childhood trauma is purported to affect development in children. ADDRESS THESE ISSUES HEAD ON. Work through them and accept it's a part of your past. NOT your future. Then take the lessons learned forward with you. Stoicism, meditation, and disciplined action will help.

However, deep down, I feel extraordinarily worthless

The simple path to self worth is to focus on your goals. Create a detailed plan; then EXECUTE. If you have no goals; make money and your physique the priority. Only good can come from putting your finances, and your physique first. Eventually you'll come across something worthy of your time; and your passion.

Godspeed and good luck!

Read the 6 pillars of self esteem.

Do things that you fear.

Other people won’t respect you until you respect yourself. Figure out the things that will make you respect yourself and do them.

You’re young but do the work now. When you’re in the prime of your life you will be way ahead of everyone else

Try hearing self esteem, self worth, and self love affirmations during sleep. There are lots of them on youtube. Do it for months.

I don't know if they actually work, but I progressed a lot on times were I used them.
