Invisiblock
In the context of human existence, this is the need for you to be seen, heard, and acknowledged as a valuable person. Validation is how you find value in yourself. It reassures you that your internal world and private reality (your thoughts, feelings, and existence) matters and is sensible. It gives a sense of belonging to the world and in your human body.
Your locus of control can help you see how you seek validation.
