Skills for better self validation
Hello friends, what are some skills or tips on becoming less needing for a partners emotional validation like constantly needing a text back.
@pepper007 Learn to live with the discomfort of not getting a text back. Develop some faith in the idea that things will probably be ok when you are feeling you need a text and aren’t getting one. Worry won’t protect you. Develop the idea that no matter what, you’ll be ok.
@pepper007 yep. I completely agree with pine. Good luck sweetie ❤ gives you a giant tiny hug ❤
@pepper007 1. accept that the people that want you will stick with you. o
2. You're the only one who knows your intentions - nobody completely knows you and therefore can't determine your worth. Only you can.
3. Learn to prioritize your well-being over validation. If someone doesn't seem like they like you and you are chasing them, let them go. There are plenty of fish in the ocean, love yourself and you'll get people who truly love you.

Hi there, and thanks for sharing what you’re going through. It sounds like you’re feeling a strong need for emotional validation from your partner, and that’s something many people experience. It can be tough when you find yourself constantly seeking reassurance or needing frequent responses.
One thing that might help is to work on building a sense of self-worth that doesn’t rely solely on your partner’s validation. This can start with small, everyday practices like reminding yourself of your own strengths and achievements. You might also find it helpful to engage in activities or hobbies that make you feel good about yourself and boost your confidence.
It can be really beneficial to practice self-care and focus on your own emotional well-being. When you feel more grounded and secure in yourself, you might find that you rely less on external validation.
Having open conversations with your partner about how you’re feeling can also make a big difference. Sharing your needs and concerns can help you both understand each other better and find a balance that works for both of you.
Ultimately, being kind to yourself through this process is crucial. It’s okay to have these feelings and to work through them at your own pace. You deserve to feel confident and secure, and with time and self-care, you can build that inner strength and independence.
