Learn to be there for yourself, talk to yourself or journal. Rather than trying to get your needs met by others, make it clear that you approve of yourself. Have gentle, nurturing, approving conversations with yourself. See yourself for the wonderful being that you are.Stop asking people to prove what you say is true !
A high need for validation originates in childhood, when a child does not get enough attention or does not feel valued. The child then grows up seeking that attention as an adult. People with a high need for validation pay an enormous social price,,,
There is a constant inflow of attention and love if you know how to look for it. Stop trying to covertly create validation and notice that you already have it.
Good luck!
