Psychoanalyzing the need for validation

We all need to feel validated once in a while, to be made to feel like we actually do matter, that our existence does not go unnoticed, that if we were to go missing tomorrow, somebody would actually realize it. We crack a joke, we look around to see if anyone is laughing. We pass a snide comment, we check if other's have a reaction.

I know I do. Part of the reason I blog is validation, for me to put my thoughts out there, so others can read it. And in their agreeing with what I say, or even having a differing view, any kind of reaction, makes me feel more worthy of their attention.
