I’m not a guy but I can’t stay silent here. My good sis, you are literally seeking male validation right now by asking this question. 😭💖 Like the guys above me said, you need to love yourself. It’s hard to do. As women we’re taught to care a lot about what men think of us and to try to meet a lot of different social standards. The most important relationship in your life, is the one with yourself. Then, you can actually have positive relationships with men and be confident at the same time. 💖

Sounds like you need to find validation in yourself tbh. If you’re constantly seeking it from an external source and when you don’t get it from said source it seems like there’s an internal problem at play

Well as someone who has never received any validation or interest from women, I can at least sympathize with you

You need to look at yourself and learn how to love yourself. If you can’t, start putting in the work to get to where you want to be

You need to find validation in something other than men. That is extremely toxic that it’s specifically male validation and that you need it so much. It’s just not healthy. Someone can very easily take advantage of that. You need to stop dating, hooking up- whatever and find what makes you happy. You need to place more weight on the options of those who care about you and not make strangers.

There’s nothing wrong with wanting validation. Everyone wants to be validated. It becomes an issue when being validated becomes more important than being seen and understood for your true authentic self

Exactly. The key word is want. We all want to feel liked and understood. There’s just a very fine line between wanting validation and needing it to feel secure.
