Glen, thank you for sharing this. That’s such a powerful insight. So many of us carry the weight of chasing validation without even realising it. Naming it is courageous — and I’m really glad this prompt gave you space to make this discovery.
But more than that, by sharing your words here, you’ve done something brave and kind for other readers, too. You’ve helped normalize the experience, and that helps others feel a little less alone. So for that, I thank you again.
