“I Feel Like I Need Constant Validation”
Dear Franca,
I constantly look for approval from other people before I feel confident about myself.
Franca Says:
External validation can feel reassuring, but it should not become the foundation of your self-worth.
People’s opinions change constantly.
If your confidence depends entirely on approval, your peace becomes unstable.
Real confidence develops when you trust yourself even without constant reassurance.
That does not happen overnight.
It grows through experience, self-awareness, and learning to value your own judgment.
Because eventually, the most important approval is your own.
