      But how do you approve yourself and how does that work?? I already know I'm real and my experience is real, but it doesn't matter because that doesn't change feeling like nobody else understands and that giving me self doubt, and feeling like if I decide to be strong in myself, that I'm going to get push back from the whole world and everyone around me and I will be shunned from society, just for seeing things the way they are. Because I don't know if that's the way they are because it feels like everyone else tells me "no that's not real, your whole reality isn't real" and my whole reality is that I don't feel validation for my emotions and the way I feel, that I felt unheard and unseen and felt like an alien and completely unrelatable in my experience, like nobody saw me as a human and everyone thinks I'm retarded in some way. How do I give my own self validation? I am not other people, and other people supposedely say "no that makes no sense" through their face and emotions and interactions, so why should I trust myself when it feels like everyone is giving me the message I'm being a narcissist or sociopath or psychopath or that I'm just being in my own head twisting around the wrong things I'm thinking to serve my own selfish needs? When it feels like all I'm doing is validating my experience that I experienced what I experienced and it was traumatic and it didn't have to mean that I needed to be stuck in it?

    1. Stop abandoning yourself. Always hold your hand. See, hear, understand and accept yourself.
    2. Stay true to your inner voice. Only Make choices that are true to who you are. When you look at the outer world you dream, when you look inside you awaken. Stay connected and true to that.
    3. Arrange your values. Think about and finalize values that are true to who you are, your success and happiness. Values that are a good formula for what you want.

    Allow your heart the space it needs to manifest your highest desires into existence. When you really just let things be, and detach from all outcomes, you give life the opportunity and space to work in your favour. When there is space you can manifest even more and finally receive what you have been waiting for. I set another intention for anyone who reads this, I promise what you desire is on its way. I am sending you love and strength. You are Appreciated & Loved You are Accepted and Supported. Trust in yourself and Trust in life.

    I personally feel like abandoning the self for me is more like erasing my existence, cause when I erased my existence, anger wouldn’t turn against me and that’s the only thing I could do to protect myself. But in doing that, you erase your own needs and wants and become dreadfully unhappy, you lose yourself, and if you lose yourself you’ll always look for others to validate you.

    I'm kinda in a tricky spot, where I realized that my main life driving force is seeking validation in two things. First is girls, I would date multiple girls, once I got the validation I would leave them (commitment phobia triggers) and in other people. At this point, I fully understand this, and the problem is that I don't find joy in things that don't have a validation aspect to them. I don't get excited about going with friends when going to work or doing anything productive. Basically, I threw out all bad habits where I was seeking validations, and now I'm at a depressing point where I don't find anything exciting at all. Has anyone had a similar thing? How did you get out from that point of despair and hopelessness? This weight in my chest and huge doubt is taking a toll on me. Aaron told me to self validate, and since nothing excites me that self validates me, it's a pain to do. Job, gym, self-development, friends, etc..

      I've been lonely, very much so for .. 2+ years?... It's a mindset, based on the heart's perception of reality and expectations. Not to say it isn't always valid/ warranted ... Ugh hard to explain, really really do highly recommend the Krishnamurti book about loneliness, the best. Far from just a "self transformation" or "philosophy" book, hard to pin it...
      Real change and acceptance comes from within. The more we give away power to others to have them decide who we are or what we should be... It can be lovely when it works, risky and hell when it doesn't.
      Just some of my personal thoughts. And of course we have many relations not just with people, but the environment, ourselves (! The most important one of our lives, Very very usually overlooked), family (but don't have to get too close if/ when they're toxic, and don't just accept their rigid expectations if they have em and you've outgrown them...)
      But yeah, we can never stop 100% seeking validation and that's fine, but of course don't have to define our worth based on external factors largely in the realm of luck & many many factors outside of our true control yes

    As much shadow work as I've done and do a lot I still find myself slipping into that mind-set of seeking approval...old shadows run deep I suppose so what has been helping me the most is learning how to flip my mind and instead of being those feelings of insecurity, or lack of self value I step out of myself and I observe these feelings in action but do not identify them as "me"..so then I am no longer the shadows, or the program..I am simple observing the program in action...we get programmed through repetition so the more I do this the more I purge the programming and adopt new programming also through the power of repetitions....and the healthier I become..at 62 I'm healthier than I've ever been. I hope this comment helps somebody. Namaste.

      Thanks for your honesty 🙏🏻 I think I’ve been doing a similar process. To continue to feel the validation and internal love and trust, I meditate on that feeling, because I’ve felt it and want to connect with it regularly and become intimately familiar with it. The feeling-without any words or expectations- seems powerful to me. It’s growing stronger. All the best to you ❤️🙏🏻

    This could be a great content for your next video. Just sharing some insight. How do you know the difference between losing yourself in the process and working really hard to achieve a goal and not allow losing yourself in the process. Seems like hard work which has a positive connotation can also mean losing yourself in the process. The answer to not needing external validation being Don’t abandon your self is a really difficult thing to understand. I don’t even understand it, it is incredibly vague and expressive.

  • @lightshift3431
    @lightshift3431 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Really well said. I still think aside from this issue you have a passion to be of service to humanity, to offer wisdom to better the world. I don't think it was only about looking for approval. I think that was an issue that was peripheral and you are able to heal it as you travel on your authentic path.

    Thank you very much for this video. I have been feeling something wasn't right, and although I do not always say "YES", most of the times I agree in things I normally do not but only cause I only say the yes but never commit to it.

    On a biological level-it’s about
    Dopamine and serotonin. Dopamine is about getting more (there is a book, the molecule of more talks about this). Serotonin is about being content with what you have. Understanding yourself on a biological level is useful.

    I’ve been aware that I need validation and I change myself for other people to get validation and I can’t seem to change myself it’s to the point where I don’t even know who I am or what I want I just people please and it literally gives me major anxiety and I feel horrible I’ve tried multiple times to turn into a “high value person” and can’t

    @Ignite1291 ปีที่แล้ว

    its funny how its all connected. I wanted just accept that my past was before and now I'm me, more experienced me but all I cared about was that if others got to know about it, they'll hate me, they won't accept me which was obviously caused by my need to seek external validation which was caused by low self-esteem and low self love.

    Step by step guide to start living your life, if you need to start from this video
    *1st is to gain self-esteem and start accepting, loving yourself* (Robert Greene explained in his book that need for validation is caused by absence of value of yourself)
    *2nd is to stop seeking external validation*
    *3rd is finally to stop living in the past, you're the new you, learn a lesson from it*
    *4th is to stop overthinking by starting to live in present* (past cannot be altered all we can do is learn from it, future can be formed not by your imagination but by your actions now)

    I‘ve been following you on youtube and instagram for a while now and heard about your childhood story a couple times. But it is only now that I realize we share the same story. Or let’s say, a part of mine is very similar to yours. I‘ve been focusing so much on healing from other experiences in my life that I kind of forgot/ignored/suppressed that part.
    Thank you!
