People may not make you feel special, but you can make yourself feel special. And, you will have better relationships if you start validating yourself instead of becoming needy and waiting for other people to give you your approval fix.

If you learn the principle of not relying on other people for your worth and start loving and approving of yourself, you won’t feel crushed when somebody doesn’t give you what you expect. The less you depend on people for validation, the stronger you will become and the further you will go. Today, be kind to yourself, treat yourself as if you were someone that you deeply love and become your own best friend and your biggest fan.
