Are people who try and seek validation insecure?

I was wondering are people who seek validation the weak and insecure ones. I would like to know with a simple yes or no question.

Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

  • It's hard to walk the thin line of being confident and not looking like a jackass.

    • The struggle I face everyday. If you ever worry that you have delusions of grandeur watch any first episode of The Apprentice, it’s narcissist central.

  • Typically, yes. People who are secure and confident with who they are don't need validation from others.

  • "Validation" and "approval" are not synonymous. Validation is the recognition and acceptance of another person's thoughts, feelings, sensations, and behaviors as understandable. Self-validation is the recognition and acceptance of your own thoughts, feelings, sensations and behaviors as understandable.

          • "Im sooo ugly. I hate my nose. I look dumb"

            Me: "No, you're hot."

            "NO IM NOT!"

            Me: "ok..."

            "....why do you say im hot?"

            Thats usually a everyday conversation with them

  • Well duh! If you can not find it internally you need external validation

  • I notice it more as I get older. The look people give you to see if you're upset or something.

  • It always depends on the situation, but it's often true.
