    Validation: Why So Many People Need External Approval

    Why do so many people depend on external approval to feel valuable? In Episode 87 of Breaking Mental Health with Darrell, we break down validation, self-worth, insecurity, social media pressure, and the emotional impact of constantly seeking approval from others. This episode explores attention, confidence, emotional dependency, comparison culture, identity, and why learning to validate yourself internally is one of the most difficult — and important — parts of emotional growth.
