In theory I love the idea of a character who doesn’t think they deserve love or glory, right, but I also feel like I’ve seen it be written in an uninteresting way too many times to ever actually consider it much more than a cheesy cliché.
I say this because that feeling either goes away so easily or it is so needlessly stubborn. 
Someone who really and truly hates themselves and sees no worth in their existence will not change their mind after receiving one lukewarm compliment from their crush. That genuine feeling is a brick wall that needs to be torn down brick by brick. It can’t just be someone telling them they have worth, they need to see it, feel it.
Maybe someone they care about is in a really tough situation and all that person wants is their comfort. Maybe the one thing they’ve always wanted to do and kept failing at has finally been accomplished. It could even be something as small as giving a heartfelt gift and receiving a genuine and profound reaction; a moment of realization that the person they care so much for cares a lot about them, too. 
These are the sorts of things that should break down that brick wall. Not Hot Boy #86 saying “Hey, you’re pretty cool.”
By the same token, if really emotionally charged moments like that are not breaking someone’s inner walls down (in my opinion) that is such a missed opportunity. There’s so much tension in a character that begs to be released sometimes, and darkness when not contrasted by lightness does not hit as hard. 
It’s okay for there to be hesitation, it’s okay for the journey to self-love and self-appreciation to be a rocky one, for there to be moments of “2 steps forward, 1 step back.” I do just think it helps for there to be a step forward.

“Fukuzawa didn’t know why. 
Why was he yelling this much? 
Why was he this upset? 
Why—? 
‘You’re still just a kid!’
Fukuzawa’s heart ached.”

not ignoring canon nor strictly adhering to it, but a secret third thing (taking the small bits and crumbs canon barely spent time developing and running absolutely hogwild)
