Addicted to Approval: The Unfulfilled Quest for Validation
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Brett knows firsthand what it means to be addicted—not to substances, but to approval. As someone who spent years chasing validation to fill an inner emptiness, Brett’s story sheds light on a lesser-known but deeply relatable struggle: the addiction to being liked, needed, and praised. Growing up without a strong sense of emotional fulfillment, Brett learned to shape-shift, perform, and people-please in order to feel worthy. But no amount of applause could quiet the inner voice that whispered, you’re not enough.
