As social creatures in this world, it is only normal for us to seek validation from other people. Validation can be considered a survival strategy. But some people just listen to what others have to say. They no longer value their own opinions. Just for example on social media. Why would someone post photos? The first reason is that even if we don't admit it, we want to show others what we really do. We like to hear positive comments about how we look, how we dress, how we shape our body, and so on.
Self-care validation, I believe that most of the reason people lose weight is that they want to look good to other people, they don’t want their weight because they think about what others will say. Perhaps, healthy lifestyle is the last reason they will consider losing weight. The bottom line is that not in all cases do we need validation or approval from someone else. The best validation will come only from ourselves.
the best validation and our competition both comes from ourselves.
