The need for validation drives many of our actions and decisions from "summary" of The Concise Laws of Human Nature by Robert Greene
The need for validation is a powerful force that often goes unrecognized in our daily lives. It is a driving factor behind many of our actions and decisions, shaping the way we interact with others and the world around us. At its core, the need for validation stems from a deep-seated desire to feel accepted, respected, and valued by those around us. This desire for validation can manifest itself in various ways, from seeking approval from our peers to constantly striving for recognition and praise. In our quest for validation, we often go to great lengths to prove our worth and capabilities to others. We may seek out validation through external sources, such as accolades, awards, or social media likes, in an effort to boost our self-esteem and sense of self-worth. This constant need for validation can lead us to make decisions that may not align with our true desires or values, as we prioritize the opinions and approval of others above our own inner guidance. The need for validation can also cloud our judgment and perception, influencing the way we view ourselves and our accomplishments. When we rely too heavily on external validation, we may become overly sensitive to criticism or rejection, leading to feelings of insecurity and self-doubt. This can create a vicious cycle where we seek validation to bolster our self-esteem, only to feel even more vulnerable when we do not receive the validation we crave. In order to break free from this cycle, it is important to cultivate a sense of self-worth that is not dependent on external validation. This means learning to validate ourselves based on our own internal standards and beliefs, rather than seeking approval from others. By developing a strong sense of self-confidence and self-acceptance, we can reduce our reliance on external validation and make decisions that are truly aligned with our authentic selves.
