Episode 714 – Validation from Others

The definition of validation that I want to use is: Recognition or affirmation that a person or their feelings or opinions are valid or worthwhile.

In the book, The App Generation, written by Howard Gardner and Katie Davis, they write about the impact apps have on our children. They point out that apps are not inherently benign or evil.

Consider social media apps. Social media apps are great at bringing people together yet, how great are the people that are coming together?

The more time I spend talking to Gen Zers the more I realize how much power one person has over another. Especially between the ages of 13-16.

Is it just Gen Zers that crave validation from others? No, not at all. Adults also crave validation from others after each post.

How about you? Do you feel down or upset if your posts aren’t validated with likes, comments, or shares?

You don’t need validation from others to find happiness or success.
