So true. Pleasing others is painful. It makes you feel less and it reflects on your self-esteem. Always seeking validation is exhausting. That's why it is important for us to talk about it more and more. So more people realize that their strength is in their uniqueness and the ability to stand behind their dreams. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. :)

Exactly! It's the same problem I see: people always want validation from others. It makes me sad thinking how they end up neglecting themselves because of their desire to please everyone. While this might not be entirely bad in itself, too much of it is quite destructive.
But yes, this definitely has to be spread. I always try to talk to my friends about this and make them realize their self-worth... I can talk about it all they want but in the end, it's really up to them on what they're going to do about it. :)
