Self Validation

Have you ever sought validation for your actions and decisions...

As a child, the job is done by our parents and siblings, and they seem to be more than happy expressing their opinion.

But what happens when one grows up.... Do we still seek validation as adults ?

And more importantly, is it a reflection of our self confidence ?

Recently, I was told that I still seek validation from some people. While I was initially taken aback by the feedback, I subconsciously knew it was an accurate observation. 

Amusing as it sounds, there seem to be a bunch of us who appear confident and self assured, but who often seek validation from their people.

Validation when making key decisions reinforces once belief. 

But what sets apart the confident from self - doubting person is whether the absence of this hold one back from making the decision/acting in a situation !
