Confronting and realizing my emotional needs in dating

[Creatine Dreams]

I read it and a lot of what you are saying resonates with me as well.

Validation is a weird thing. If you are not getting it from a particular source, it becomes very valuable.

For example, I know that I rule at guitar and that if I play, people will complement me. But a complement does not particularly make me that happy because I know that I am good.

I do not feel the same about my skills with women. So when a woman shows me attention, it becomes very valuable.

I hope that makes sense and is relevant to you.
