Maybe validation, but not because they're consciously seeking it for attention and ego boost but because they need it just to feel okay.

@SW-User Even if they do it over and over and over again on a regular basis? Lol
SW-User
@SW-User When a person loathes themselves, that validation is temporary on the surface. Like a band aid. So yeah, they need to keep repeating it, over and over.

@SW-User What’s more powerful than validation that can make them stop loathing themselves?
SW-User
@SW-User Facing what causes their self loathing. It's a long painful process.
SW-User
@SW-User Maybe that’s why they don’t try to improve themselves and instead keep looking for validation

@SW-User I'd not be so harsh with them. It's really not as black and white. If matters of the mind were so simple, there'd be no one suffering.
