Girls, Serious question, but why do so many women need so much reinforcement, validation, and affirmation constantly?

I feel like so many women I interact with have this constant need for validation and support over basic life stuff. Of course it's not all women, but it really feels like a majority of women are like this

Like, you shouldn't need a safe space to talk about fashion... I'm sorry, you just shouldn't.

You shouldn't need props for making your car payment.

A lot of women just seem to need constant affirmation and support, it's honestly exhausting...

What's up with that?

Because they are raised and socialized to make decisions based on the needs of others rather than themselves. Therefore, whenever they make a decision (whether for themselves or for others), they need to share it with other people in order to be validated that they made the right decision for everyone involved.

I am no longer like this, I know I am a good person and I don't need to prove it. Now I am like I would rather be myself and if you disagree i really don't care. This is self love and I don't need more. It's exhausting for you because the emotional part is non-existant, yes giving without receiving is tiring (self love in order to love so!)

I guess 🤔... Because you haven't met women who don't 😅

Because some of us don't know how to be accepting of ourselves so we seek out validation and approval from anyone else to give us a confidence boost.
