What you need is not more people around you who will “validate” you.

What you need is more people who will be truly honest with you.
The obsession with being validated by other people as a kind of justice or respect is a disaster.

You are being robbed of the life changing skill of self-validation.
There is no person more confused & obscured to themselves than the person surrounded by those who only seek to validate them.
Pay attention to the company you keep — the friend who always validates you is not the friend who always tells you the truth.

The latter is a rare treasure.
Entire empires can be felled by the leader who surrounds themselves only with people who validate them.

Seek honesty, not validation.
