Why do we insist on seeking validation from people unable to validate us?

After a recent personal experience involving some decisions, where I thought I was making them from, and where I ACTUALLY was making them from… I wanted to explore this some more. I found a couple of articles that helped as well as some comments that were left on my social media that helped to inform me.

Ultimately, even as a learned habit it is still a choice that we make for ourselves to hand over our power to someone else.

Where do you find that you still need outside validation in your own life and how could that change?
