3. Discussion. People's search for validation and approval. Hosted by Ruvi.

"We seek validation everyday. It's our desire to get someone's approval, whether it's approval from others, from social media or reassurance from someone who we personally know or like. Approval from our mentor, who gives good advice. But what happens when validation goes too far? Does it help us grow every time or does it hold us back? Do you think seeking validation is something inherently good or bad?" - Ruvi.

"Since we humans are meant to live in groups, it's something normal to seek for approval, but if it's something natural we should evolve a little, and we should be able to make a compromise between the seek of approval and being ourselves, because sometimes people don't want to be themselves, so, other may like them, but then they hate themselves instead, and that's not good either." - Mikozz

"I also think the same, because we humans evolved from tribes. We used to live in tribes, and it was important for us to be liked by everyone in the tribe. But, right now, it's not necessary. So, we can be ourselves." - Ruvi

"I think when the search for happiness depends totally on validation and, and approval, it's bad, because sometimes people end up doing stupid things, just trying to, you know, fit in, in some sorts of groups. I've seen that with many people, and I think that, especially teenagers are more vulnerable to this behavior, and, particularly, female teenagers, are a victim of this behavior, because they want so much to fit in, in their social groups, with their friends, that they may end up doing things that they shouldn't." - Leon

"The last time I was seeking for someone's validation is when I was in a  platonic relationship, it's like best friends. I am someone who is very anxious in life, so I started to get interested in the things he was interested in, except I didn't like it at all. So, I didn't want to tell that person about it, and I pretended to like those things, including being constantly on social medias, which I really hate. And after that it didn't work out, but I think that if I was honest since the beginning, we could have been still together today. This is why I was seeking for his validation by liking the things he liked, and doing the things he was doing, so he could like me more, but in the end, it did the total opposite, and he ended up not liking me anymore." - Mikozzz

"It's natural, because we are people, but of course, there should be a limit. If you are constantly seeking validation, it means that you are on shaky ground, and you depend on others. You should stand your ground, and it should be balanced." - marine_0204

" If you have any validation and approval it's great, of course, but if we don't have, it's not bad, just continue to be yourself. But, of course, we can hear and check ourselves. But we should not depend on it. Because there are many different opinions, it's okay if they don't support me in something, it's their opinion. " - Kella
