Overdependence on external validation can quietly shape how we think, feel, and show up in relationships—often without us realizing it.

In this video, i discuss the signs of being overly dependent on external validation, including people-pleasing, fear of disapproval, difficulty trusting your own judgment, and tying self-worth to others’ opinions. We also discuss why this pattern develops, how it impacts emotional well-being and relationships, and why learning to recognize it is so important for personal growth.

You’ll gain insight into:
✔ Common signs of validation dependence
✔ How external validation affects self-esteem and decision-making
✔ The difference between healthy feedback and emotional dependence
✔ Why building internal validation leads to confidence and emotional stability

Understanding this pattern is not about blame—it’s about awareness. When you learn to validate yourself, you create healthier boundaries, stronger self-trust, and more balanced relationships.

This video is helpful if you struggle with self-doubt, people-pleasing, anxiety around approval, or difficulty trusting yourself.
