Validation Addiction is not Narcissism.
Validation is an INTENSE (physiological) desire to have the validation of outside sources and avoid rejection at ALL cost.
Validation Addiction can often show up as an eating disorder, exercise addiction, sex addiction, gambling addiction, codependency (toxic relationship addiction), spending addiction, and more.
Validation Addiction is oftentimes an underlying addiction, which appears as the above.
Validation Addiction is NOT narcissism.
It is not putting others down or bullying.
It is not name dropping.
It is not trying to control every social event.
It is not bragging about ourselves (with truth or untruths).
It is not fishing for compliments.
It is not narcissism.
