Do You Seek Approval From Others Before You Do Anything?

Why is that? Why do you feel the need to validate your every thought or action with other people? I don't know you but I'm sure you are a wonderful person. Don't forget who you are. The real you, not the you that you think other people want you to be. Maybe they should be seeking your approval...? Sometimes that is a self-esteem thing. I do understand though. I myself tend to try to make people happy and avoid arguing at all cost, but I never forget who I am. If someone doesn't like my hair color or the dress that I put on my daughter for Easter...well, that's their problem(seriously), not mine. Would you allow someone make a decision for you regarding your christianity? Why then would you allow anyone to decide anything else for you? Being agreeable is one thing hon, but living to please everyone else is just wrong. Don't second guess yourself. Your opinion is just important as anyone else's. You are intelligent as anyone and you are doing fine. And remember....God loves u  ;o)

I used to be just as bad! I'm still pretty bad but now at least I do make my own decisions, even though it bothers me when others feel differently. My whole world seems dismal when everyone in my life isn't pleased with me or if things aren't right. It feels bad right?

Here on earth the cardinal rule is God first And yourself next anyone or anything else you either chose the order you want them in your life or have them pick a number and stand in line.....hope this helps you and will pray for that gift of encouragement and self reliance from God to help you as well as us all... 

No, sometimes I wish that I did, I do spend a lot of time worrying about the consequences of what I have already done, and what people will think of it. I mean I occasionally get foot in mouth disorder, and I am relentless about my desire to be kind, but have unthinkingly hurt others feelings, in my haste.

No, no i do not.
 

I generally ask my fiance, but usually do as I want especially with my hair as it grows back.

If the decision I am about to take is a very serious and delicated one I seek advice of my family members. For small issues I do what my heart says

Thank you. I do this. A LOT! And am just now noticing and trying to figure out why. I believe it is self esteem and the lack of approval from childhood. Now the big question is how do I stop it. In what ways can I begin to start to no do this.
