Acceptance and validation from strangers....it’s like every insecure person.

I learned how to accept myself long time ago when I realized how getting approval from strangers has become...very tiring and hurtful.

truth is, not everyone can please everyone especially in this world where most people just want perfection.

.

Studies show that people who aim for perfection and live to please people deal with more stress compare to people don't care about what people say.

And stress kills that’s why some people wanna commit suicide they feel that have to please the people around them, and if they can’t they feel useless, worthless, not good enough...and having other strangers or even toxic friends tell them that that adds up to suicidal tendencies. That’s why most people who commit suicide are homoual and teenagers and young adults.

older adults figure out that life is not about other people it’s about them. It’s their life.

for those have clinical depression, that’s a different

that’s why older people are happier than younger people.

i also think it has a lot to do with social media. Not a single retired person at my volunteer jobs have a smartphone or social media. I mean they still carry flip phones.

they are so happy!

social media is toxic.

people are free to say whatever they want..because they won’t get slapped. They are called keyboard warriors or trolls

i blocked them.

self acceptance takes time and practice especially when your surrounds by people who nippick and criticize you at everything you do and say.

.

be you. Love you. But know not everyone will like you.
