We all have a human need to be loved and cared for by others. It’s natural to want to be loved by your family and friends. But you should stop looking for validation from them. Instead, seek validation only from yourself.

What other people think of your or your opinions doesn’t matter. Seriously.

You’re quick to seek what others think. But you’re slow to seek what you think.

Your opinion is the first and most important opinion you should listen to.

Even though we all have a human need to want attention, it doesn’t mean you should seek it in the form of validation. There are healthier ways to get attention…

Do things that inspire others. Make something. Learn something new and share it with others. Achieve. And so on…

Let your actions speak for themselves. You’ll get the attention you deserve from them.

You don’t actually feel better after seeking validation from others.

Validation destroys you…

Validation destroys your confidence and self-esteem. It makes you rely on other people’s opinions for your own confidence and self-esteem.
