That all depends on our age and what we have been through in life. When i was a teenager/school kid i had to fit in with my friends. Had to be liked and always wanted to be invited to things. When i got into 20/30, i still wanted (needed) the approval from friends, husband etc. But now i am older, well i couldn't give a SH*T!!!

Take care

because it is our nature to constantly seek aproval from other people for the sake of our own self esteem, us as whole, I feel have a lowered self esteem generated by the illusion of what is "perfect" created by the media. Mainly because of the media, our own self worth is based upon not only what we think, but what other people think of us aswell. (Also if we feel we are better than another person eg. haveing a nicer car/shoes than the next person, our self esteem goes up.)
