Break Free from Needing Male Approval!

Ever catch yourself craving a guy’s approval? 🙈 Yeah, me too. It’s called male validation—and honestly, it’s exhausting! Here’s what I’ve learned about why it’s a problem and how I’m working to break the cycle: • Male validation = seeking praise or approval from men, even if it hurts my self-esteem. • Society kinda trains us to think men’s opinions matter most (ugh, patriarchy 😅). • It shows up everywhere: at work, in dating, even with family. • Chasing male approval can wreck my confidence and make me forget what I want. So, what am I doing about it? • I ask myself: Am I doing this for me, or just to impress a guy? • I talk with friends who get it—seriously, community helps so much ❤️ • I’m learning to be okay with being “unlikable” if it means being true to myself. • I celebrate my wins (big or small!) and practice positive self-talk. • I focus on my own goals and find joy in my own company. Let’s stop living for someone else’s approval. We deserve to feel worthy just as we are! #SelfWorth #BreakTheCycle #Empowerment #Education
