Sometimes I wish I didn't have such a need for approval. Or want for other people to like what I do. But I have to remind myself as well, even in the Christian faith, we were made for community. We were made to need each other. Maybe not in certain ways, but there's nothing wrong with me wanting somebody to like what I'm doing.
And I was made with a need for affirmation. A love language of mine. A main one. I need to be OK with that.
Approval is okay to be wanted and needed. It becomes a prison if you structure yourself and your life around the approval, losing yourself in it. If you can't experience happiness without the approval fix.
