Many people seek online validation from strangers around the world through social media. What is validation? How does validation show up in your life today? A dictionary definition of validation yields it as a way of yielding credence and agreement to one's actions, thoughts, and ideas either physically or ideologically. In other words, another person or friend can verify either by positive words or actions that your are a pretty cool man or lady in the eyes of the online world. It has nothing to do with how you feel about yourself or your gifts but how another person or group "sees" you online. We see this validation yardstick measure being applied everywhere from TikTok to Instagram to the now ubiquitous Facebook "like" posts that flood the timelines of our mind every day.
