The last thing I want to do is to make people feel like they can't get validation here or that their requests for validation are somehow wrong. That's why I said that I can feel how I feel about constant validation, and still provide it constantly.

I wish I could just tell each and every person who posts needing validation that it doesn't matter what they are feeling. Feelings don't have right or wrong. You just feel that way. And you actually can't control how you feel about something when it happens. Don't judge yourself for your feelings. You feel how you feel. And it's no one's place to judge that

First attempt to try to copy and paste on my phone. Above is quoted from seesaw’s post.

I agree with this and agree that a person deserves to be able to share their feelings. In fact, I have been one to listen and support others and yet can have difficulty sharing myself. I have learned in therapy that I have most likely been exposed to too many that need their feelings take priority and do not know how to listen and allow others to feel. My father unknowingly taught me this because if you wanted to talk to him, it was safest to get him to talk about himself.
