Most Validating Thing...

DichotomousDetia April 12th, 2022

What's the most Validating thing someone has said to you that you can remember?

How did it make you feel?
Did it help you in anyway?
Have you validated others?


Feel free to come back and add more if you have new validating experiences!

What is validation?

"Emotional validation is the process of learning about, understanding, and expressing acceptance of another person's emotional experience. Emotional validation is distinguished from emotional invalidation, when a person's emotional experiences are rejected, ignored, or judged." - VeryWellMind.Com-Validation

When I was suffering from depression, oneday my sister suddenly told me, " SIs you look like a dead person."

It really hit me hard. That's was when I felt the most understood and loved.

Sometimes having someone acknowledge and hold space for the pain we have can be incredibly validating. I'm really glad you shared this, thank you!
