I realize that I’ve projected my value/worth onto others where I’ve in my mind given them the responsibility to validate me or assign me worth or value or not, when in fact it is not really them that in fact validate me as validation is an experience that I’ve created within my mind, based on how I interpret my own perception of how others respond to me. So for example if they don’t answer my question, I would take that personal and perceive it as an invalidation of me – when in fact it has nothing to do with me, and even if it did, it still wouldn’t prescribe or define my value or worth as that is not something another can give or take away from me. So I see how I’ve very specifically defined my value and worth in separation from myself as something that always only exist outside of me and that I have to be ‘given back’ by the grace of another which makes me a slave to their reactions and responses - which in fact makes me a slave to my own perception and interpretation based on a flawed system of social decoding.
