Why is it wrong to enjoy validation from men? Are you not attracted to men? Do you not wish them to find you attractive as well?
DarthInvader · 36-40, M
@summalovin I’ve read what you wrote, but I’m unclear as to whether you feel that seeking compliments from men is wrong in itself, or is it more about the way you sometimes seek that validation, in ways that you feel compromise your morals or self-respect? If you’re a straight woman, it makes sense that you’d want compliments from men, that’s a natural part of attraction.

@DarthInvader I obviously do like getting complimented by guys but what i meant was i feed off of those compliments instead genuinely knowing i am funny, kind, etc

@summalovin This is completely normal for someone your age still navigating adulting. The fact that you’re aware of yourself will make your journey smoother from here. You’re not doing anything outside the norm. If possible, talk to people you trust, like your mother, an older sibling, or a cousin, who really know you. Advice online often comes from people projecting their own experiences, which may not always apply to your life.

Take care

You keep saying i want to start. What's stopping you? Sounds like you know what needs to be done. Just do it love! Have some self respect, some morals, and know that you are more than just a body, or looks, or a sex symbol. If you were to ever become a mother how would you want to be seen in the eyes of your children? Be someone that YOU can be proud of.

It's a hard one. Sometimes there are things we can change that are positive and we do all secretly like validation from others, we're social beings after all.

Setting boundaries for the things you don't like and don't feel good about is a good place to start.
I think you have made a huge leap in your self-awareness at a point ca. 10 - 15 years earlier than most.

Trust this.

Trust yourself.

And whatever you did to step back and look at your own thinking, do so.

Likely low self-esteem.
Spend time with you, do things you enjoy.
You'll see you get along with yourself.
