Stop seeking validation from others from "summary" of Unfu*k Yourself by Gary John Bishop
When you're constantly seeking validation from others, you're essentially handing over your power to them. You're letting them dictate how you should feel about yourself and your worth. You're allowing their opinions to shape your self-image and determine your value. But here's the thing: you don't need anyone else's approval or validation to know your worth. You don't need their validation to feel good about yourself. The truth is, seeking validation from others is a never-ending cycle. No matter how much validation you receive, it will never be enough. You'll always be looking for more, always craving more approval from others. And in the process, you'll lose sight of who you truly are and what you truly value. You'll forget that your worth doesn't come from others, but from within yourself. When you stop seeking validation from others, you reclaim your power. You take back control of how you feel about yourself and your worth. You no longer rely on others to validate you because you know your own value. You trust in yourself and your own judgment. You believe in yourself and your worth, regardless of what others may think or say. It's not easy to break free from the cycle of seeking validation from others. It takes courage and strength to look within yourself for validation, rather than seeking it from external sources. But when you do, you'll experience a newfound sense of freedom and empowerment. You'll no longer be at the mercy of others' opinions and judgments. You'll be able to define your own worth and live according to your own standards. So, stop seeking validation from others. Stop giving away your power to external sources. Look within yourself for validation and trust in your own worth. You don't need anyone else's approval to know that you are valuable and worthy. You are enough, just as you are. Trust in yourself and your own judgment, and let go of the need for validation from others.
