I never interact with women. Every time I couldn't avoid it, I've said the bare minimum and barely looked at them. Can't seek validation if you can't even talk to them.
There was one family friend I used to get on okay with back in the day and i probably did seek it from her. But I stopped understanding how to interact with her after a while due to abnormal loneliness and isolation. And the last time I saw her, we got into an altercation so I'll never see her again
I don't think I'll ever seek validation again now
