I don't know if it's caused from low self-esteem or not, but it seems like I always need my feelings or achievements or whatever to be validated by others. I realize that this is most likely normal, but I know I always focus on the negative opinions, say, of my writing, rather than the positive ones. Is there any help for this? Can therapy help me? I still feel like I've got a ways to go with my T. Does anyone else feel the need to be validated by everyone? Everyone always tells me to not care what others think of me. No one ever tells me how not to.
