Ep#264 - You’re Not Chasing Love — You’re Chasing Validation

from The Self-Confidence Project · host The Self-Confidence Project with Kimberly Hill

In this episode, I'll be sharing the critical moment many men face when they realize they miss the way a woman made them feel about themselves, rather than missing the woman herself. This deeper dive explores the difference between seeking validation and forming genuine connections. I discuss how external validation can often replace true connection, leading to relationships based on temporary feelings rather than lasting compatibility. Learn about the signals of seeking validation, the impact on your dating life, and how to seek genuine, healthy relationships.P.S. If you're a man navigating dating after divorce, don't go it alone. My free masterclass was made for you—learn how to rebuild confidence, attract the right women, and avoid common post-divorce mistakes. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Watch it here.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Ready for tailored support? ⁠⁠Book your 1:1 dating strategy call with me ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and let’s map out your next steps.If you’ve ever wished you could just relax and enjoy conversations with women, this is your invitation ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Need honest feedback on your dating profile so you can start attracting quality matches? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Look here.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠And as always, subscribe, leave your comments, and join the conversation—this is a space for growth, insight, and connection.
