Searching always for validation from other will keep you from experiences peace of mind. The old (PPD) people pleasing disorder.

It definitely wasn't a downer. And I didn't find it sad in a triggering way. Just, my heart went out to you. And to everyone who has their exuberance quashed. I do find that sad, because those joyful moments can be hard to come by. And when they do happen, they need to be celebrated!
It's great that you know how to validate yourself. You're so right that it's much better not to rely on validation from others
