People who seek validation

People walk around in self-made prisons, with the key held by strangers from whom they seek validation and approval. Too afraid to speak their mind, and too afraid to give themselves permission to live like they so desperately want to, they live and die by the opinions of others.

Don't seek for the validation of others but instead seek to become the best version of yourself possible. #Growth

“If outside validation is your ONLY source of nourishment, YOU will hunger for the rest of your life.” Validation is the recognition and acceptance of another person's thoughts,feelings, sensations, and behaviors as understandable. Self-validation is the recognition and acceptance of your own thoughts, feelings, sensations and behaviors as understandable. Learning how to use validation effectively takes practice. It’s not necessary to seek validation from anyone. Except, Our Creator…

People-pleasing is a behavioral pattern characterized by prioritizing the desires, needs, and approval of others at the expense of one's own well-being and authenticity. Individuals who engage in people-pleasing often go to great lengths to avoid conflict, seek validation, and gain acceptance from others, even if it requires sacrificing their own values, boundaries, and personal autonomy. #loveyourself #selflove #loveurself #selfcarelove #loveyorself #selfishlove #mentalhealthawareness…

Validate yourself. Period!

Have the confidence to be yourself and risk someone not liking you for who you are or be at the mercy of those who are threatened by your personality and live in a cage of other people's expectations.

Roxie Nafousi on Instagram: "My friend & healing coach @carinatalla said this to me during a session recently and it really stuck. If you don’t validate yourself, you seek validation from others… Ask yourself, what are you looking for others to give you that you could instead give to yourself? Perhaps it’s kind words, love, safety, appreciation…? Give yourself the things you seek from others. I actually speak more about this in my new book MANIFEST: Dive Deeper which you can pre-order now…

People who have been abused, mistreated, hurt, or wronged in any other way almost universally seek validation.
