What is affirmed when you receive validation is that SOMEONE agrees with what you say

So is it about them or is it about you?

If you want to them to be happy and ‘right’ and all that — then be happy for them.

If you want yourself to be happy WITH YOURSELF — then it is obviously your opinion that matters, your ‘validation’, and YOUR action.

Only you can validate yourself

And only you should validate yourself

Whoever-else-does is not you and therefore does not concern you therefore is not real therefore is a lie

Only you can seek the truth

Whoever-else-says-what is not you therefore does not concern you therefore is not real therefore is a lie
