The Big Lie We Were Told

A big lie that we were told when we were kids is the following: You need to be loved. When you’re a kid, yes, granted, that’s okay. Let’s not quarrel about that. But what if you’re sixty-four years old? You’re twenty-five years old? They’re still telling you that you need to be loved. You need to be a success. You need to be approved. You need to be appreciated. It's rubbish yet everybody goes on believing this. There’s only one emotional need you have and that is to love.

Thank you!
I do wonder, though, how much of that elation, that high, we get from other peoples’ approval, praise, or assurance, is something we’re taught & programmed to feel; & how much of it is purely innate?

So sensible!

I think I finally get it ❤️
Thank you
