Never Good Enough

We all want to be better people in life. To feel like we’ve done good and that the people around us are proud of us. But there will be times and people where you will never get that. That no matter what you do or accomplish it will never be enough. And we need to learn to live with it because it will never change.

So we need to be happy with ourselves and not always need that validation from others. Which can be hard to do, believe me I know. There are a few things that we need to work on ourselves to not be as affected by this.

Don’t always do it for others

We can fall into the trap of doing things because we want validation so bad. Knowing that it’s important to the other person. Not in a manipulative way, but as children just to get that glimmer that they love are proud of you. But this is where we can lose ourselves. Always reaching for something for someone else. This is how kids go into carers they hate just because their parents wanted it. Or stay with people because of how others think you are for being with them.

It can be never-ending

For these kinds of people, even if you get something from them it’s short-lived. Easily forgotten and wasn’t as good now that time has passed. You “should always” be trying for something better. Ont top if you have more than one person that you care for their opinions, then each one will have different levels of care for anything you do.

Some will never be satisfied

People can take advantage of this that it can turn abusive. They can pit you against others or even change the things that they say make them proud of you. Plus with withdraw their love and support at the drop of a hat.
