Seeking advice
Hello, new to the group and seeking some advice. I struggle with finding worth in myself and often seek validation from others and people pleasing. At the same time I struggle to open up and form new relationships. I really take things said personally. Any advice on how to work through these feelings?

Many many have been or still are in those shoes. People pleasing is a big sign that we only are seeking our validation from others. It is hard to break and what works for one person may not work for another.
I made strides cannot pin point them exactly ... but i just found satisfaction in small accomplishments then larger ones... recently had a huge day at work when on my own and while a big thanks from co-workers in covering for them was nice.... but i can just see the results of that day and know i did it.... the self validation means far more and stays with you not something you need a redo over and over when seeking outside validation .....
make a to do or bucket list and do it as you conquer it appreciate you can do it.... i walked a lot and lost weight felt determined and no one can take that away i gained some back but instead of being depressed i KNOW i can do it again. .... tackle something you always wanted and the feeling stays with you.
