You know real talk WAY TOO MANY PEOPLE CARE ABOUT WHAT OTHER PEOPLE WHO SHOULDN'T EVEN MATTER OF THEM THINK OF THEM AND THEY ALLOW THOSE PEOPLE TO CONTROL THEM TOO. SERIOUSLY!! This has got to stop. If youre a grown ass adult, you should be your own validation and develop self security where you are not relying on someone outside of yourself to pat you on the back, hitting the like button to what you do on social media, and you basically become confident because you arent letting your insecurities about yourself run your life.
And on top of all of that too, and this is VERY IMPORTANT, 9 times out of 10, the very people you are looking for validation from dont even like themselves. They arent even secure with their own selves. Why would you look to them for validation when they are looking for someone to validate them too or they live to be validated by other people because they arent secure with themselves? You might as well be your own advocate, validation source and call it a day. Stop letting people like these who dont even love themselves have power over you. You got dudes who arent even confident with themselves or love themselves where they are hiding who they are whether its that they are a pokemon fan, a nerd, a square, a prude, and etc all doing the most to hide who they are putting on an act for other people 24/7 whether its putting tattoos on themselves, behaving a certain way cursing, acting ratchet, acting aggressive and etc. They damn well know that thats not them but just for other people, theyll live a whole fukking lie and be miserable because they are worrying about what someone else thinks. And that someone else at times isnt even thinking about them to begin with.

you can be sober and never have tried a drug in your life. Be secure about that shyt if thats what you are about and stop letting insecure people project their misery onto you.
Just had to vent.
