LDAR How many of you in past were seeking external validation ?

[To koniec]

I did a lot, it was mistake not even talking about seeking acceptance ( in this regard i was even worse ) from people which don't even care about me in slightest.

 

[Allah (Real)]

I've always wanted external validation, I think internal validation is overrated; rather than validation, I got its opposite for no reason at all. like i've had a target on my back since kindergarten.

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

People always hope to receive recognition from the outside world (and so do I.), which is so pitiful. But it's hard not to do it, especially when you haven't received positive recognition throughout your life

I still did back in highschool but then I stopped knowing I would never succeed.
