Some people tend to think that I need their approval. No, I don't.

No, I don't need others' opinion. Opinions just make you blind.

But I listen to opinions. They work two ways for me.
1. It tells me about others what see/think about me. That doesn't set any importance for that. Others' opinions can be right, wrong, biased, irrelevant, lacking the complete context, etc. But sometimes it can give something to improve yourself, that is for yourself, not for them to approve.
2. It tells me about others, what is their approach towards things, their knowledge, their intentions, etc.

@ABCDEF7 A very good answer. Informative. 👌

KingofBones1 · 46-50, M

Nowadays hell no. Especially since I walked 500 miles in my own boots and when I needed people's help or one of their friendship all they do is turn their back. I figured like this if you do not care for me when I'm at my lowest then you don't deserve s*** when I'm at my best. That part so you know what they can do with their personal approval LOL bend over and smile big

Umile · 41-45, F

@KingofBones1 Nmh. The best move is always forward. I'm glad you're going in that direction.

KingofBones1 · 46-50, M

@Umile got to after all I owe it to myself for all that I've been through, and another incentive is after all the best revenge is success despite the odds and the people that had you down

Umile · 41-45, F

@KingofBones1 💯 💪 💪 💪

If I'm doing something for them I like to be directed. Also I like it when girls get tough with me there was this one time when I hadn't had sex with my other half for about 3 days and we had it every day back then. So anyway she came in from work and sets her stuff down and looks me dead in the eye and said, "we're having sex tonight."
So that was that then.
Best foreplay ever.
Too much info?
Not enough info?
I like to know what people want to hear in a story.

Umile · 41-45, F

@GeniUs Aye, you got your point across without the unnecessary details. Kudos to her. 👌

Ambroseguy80 · 56-60, M

When I was a young man out of high school and college, I looked for my family’s approval with everything. Until I started a relationship - and they didn’t seem to approve.

@Ambroseguy80 Sigh. I can feel you on that.

Ambroseguy80 · 56-60, M

@Umile are you an approval seeker, or have you moved on?

Umile · 41-45, F

@Ambroseguy80 It would be nice to have people's approval. But, I think that I'm leveled enough to know when I deserve it and when I don't. It's usually black and white with me. But, if you can make me see it, then I'll take it.

hunkalove · 61-69, M

I'm not sure. Let me ask my parole officer.

Umile · 41-45, F

@hunkalove Good one.

Sidewinder · 36-40, M

Depends on the situation.

Though all things considered, There are instances Where I'd rather seek forgiveness than approval or permission.

Umile · 41-45, F

@Sidewinder nmh. 💯

Strongtea · 22-25, M

To be honest yes, I do really need people’s approval on many aspects of my life, especially fashion/style.

Umile · 41-45, F

@Strongtea Alright. Makes sense.

But, do you ever wanna just dress for yourself ?

Might be fun.

I do it all the time.

Strongtea · 22-25, M

Yes sometimes I feel like that, but I suppose I’m just a bit too nervous about it. @Umile

Umile · 41-45, F

@Strongtea I understand. Only you know your pace. Only you can do yoou. Nmh.

in10RjFox · M

Don't you say excuse me to those on your way. ?

Umile · 41-45, F

@in10RjFox Out of politeness and respect.

in10RjFox · M

@Umile so it doesn't mean you asked for their approval or that they approved you. Just crossing path in Life.

Umile · 41-45, F

@in10RjFox Nmh. A courtesy. I'm good if they do or if they don't respond in kind.

helenS · 36-40, F

Of course you need my approval. Come on I mean who do you think you are?!? 🤨

Umile · 41-45, F

@helenS exactly

GuyWithOpinions · 31-35, M

Nobody cares about me. I have learned to not care about others.

Umile · 41-45, F

@GuyWithOpinions A doubled edged sword. I can feel you on that.

Quimliqer · 70-79, M

If what I’m doing is on their property, yes!! If not, no!!

Umile · 41-45, F

@Quimliqer In that kind of situation, yes.

UndeadSona · F

I'm pretty sure I don't have anyone's approval

Umile · 41-45, F

@UndeadSona It's alright. In most cases, you don't need it. Especially when you're trying your best.

slorollin · 41-45, M

Uh, no. I could care less

Umile · 41-45, F

@slorollin 👍

“The one who has confidence in themself gains the confidence of others.”

Umile · 41-45, F

@valobasa4ever I agree with that, mostly.

I think I'm a fairly confident person, I have to be.

Not confident as in, I'm the best of the best.

But confident as in, I'm not perfect and I'm cool with it.

Some people, go out of their way to try to tear that confidence down.

It's like an obsession. A passionate hobby for them.

Smh.

People look at me like I'm just born mean.

Nope.

You make me that way.
