Validation Is a Drug: Stop Performing and Start Respecting Yourself
from F*ck The Standard · host Rob McCarthy
Most people aren’t stuck because they’re incapable. They’re stuck because they’re addicted to validation and terrified of silence. In this episode, Rob breaks down how performing for approval destroys identity, why opinions only hurt when you sign for them, and how self-respect replaces applause when you stop asking for permission to exist. We get into social media, ego, insecurity, self-respect, identity, discipline, and becoming unrecognizable to your old crowd. No hype, no gurus.
