I think I alway want to be adored. Is that bad and how do I stop?

Just imagine the boring Kim kardashian wanting to be adored endlessly so she posts selfies and does everything to get adored.

I dont act as bad as her but i dont want to end up in 100 relationships and get divorced 100 times just cause im obsessed with being adored and when i dont get adored as much as i want, then i bounce. Plus i just think it can't be right to be wanting to be adored constantly.

Depending on external validation can lead to unhappiness and misery. Look at you, it's like you're working a second job to maintain your social media accounts and to gain approval from others. It's better to have internal validation and be happy with yourself.

Im starting to get there because i no longer want to spend every waking moment trying to be 'the perfect woman.' by the way i dont use social media.

I mean it's okay to dress up to feel pretty, but just not all the time because it'll stress you out. Steve Jobs stopped dressing fancy to work and bought 5 pairs of the same clothes. He wore the same clothes so he can reduce the stress he was feeling. It was just 5 pairs of the same suit to work everyday.

I guess even men feel pressure to look a certain way.
