Why do I need constant validation for my looks?

[Anonymous]

My friend and I were discussing this the other day. She feels like she doesn’t need validation about her looks and doesn’t need compliments or male attention to feel pretty, while I have tinder and need guys to give me attention and validation, or just attention day to day. Why do I need so much validation that I’m pretty and she doesn’t?

Well, some people need constant validation because they question their own abilities and/ attractiveness. You are probably looking for external validation to feel good about yourself which is usually because of low self esteem.

It is most often deeply rooted in childhood. Did your parents ever compare you to anyone else? say your sibling, cousin, friend etc? You can only try to be more confident. Beauty and confidence should come from within. Honestly, a huge chunk of guys prefer girls who are confident. It will make you more attractive. Good luck!
