There's No True Happiness Without Validation From Others by EBUBS(m): 5:15pm On Mar 27, 2023 |
I can't help but imagine the level at which humans crave for validation from others. Both directly and Indirectly. Some people also pretend not to crave for validation just to get validated at the end. From the food we eat, to the house we leave in , the car we drive, the people we marry. All these things boils down to our desires to be validated by others. Technology and the developed countries as a whole know this truth and they use it against us every day. Check out the iphones, Facebook or social media as a whole, Lamborghini, big nyash, big breast, just to mention a few. I stand to be corrected but I honestly believe that our happiness is greatly driven by validation. Directly and Indirectly Please what's your take on this. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

If it's only validation, one can still squeeze that, how about chronic self entitlement mentality? |

It's weak people that seek this, people operating on very low frequency. 2 Likes |

EBUBS:Because it's dumb and your myopic lifestyle don't define everyone. Very ignorant to think everyone is like you. |

EBUBS:Happiness driven by validation from others rather than self sounds a bit like a dependency problem to me. |

EBUBS: No be me oh. Validation bawo. So if you are surrounded by people who do not approve of your lifestyle you will change it so that they can accept you? If yes, then you are a feather in the storm. You will forever be at the mercy of narcissists, demagogues, abusers etc. No human's validation means anything to me because in the end I will face the consequences of my decisions without the help of anyone. 4 Likes 1 Share |

efficiencie: Lol.... It does you just won't accept it... Imagine yourself in a case where it's just you in this world you'll understand this thing better. You'll not be pressurized to do more you'd be just contented wherever you are. A cat's basic Toyota car can take you to anywhere you want. As long as it's new... Give me just one reason you need a higher one that extremely expensive.. 3 Likes |

Kobojunkie: That's the point. Our life is generally depend on other humans. The existence of other people is what gives us a sense of belonging.... Money us totally useless if it's just you in life. People depend on people to live happy. It's not a problem. That's just how it is, we just don't want to accept it. 1 Like |

EBUBS: We are social animals so it normally feels good to be noticed or appreciated...but where it becomes a problem is when people crave attention round the clock...for some people attention is like a drug to them so you must be moderate that's all 6 Likes |

op just dey play, keep seeking validation u hear |
Re: There's No True Happiness Without Validation From Others by Kobojunkie: 1:12pm On Mar 28, 2023 |
EBUBS:1. Not necessarily true at all. Your material existence may be dependent on others, but your emotional does not in anyway need to conform to that of others around you. 2. Again, that depends to a great deal on how you choose to define your happiness. |

Validation seeking is imprinted in our subconscious. If you like, deny it from now to next year. 2 Likes |

EBUBS: I am contented already. I don't live above my means. I cherish the small things as much as the big things. I am easily satisified and I am only motivated to bear the cost of reaching beyond my bounds by the desire to be a blessing to others. |
