We may shy away from accepting this but i am sure it's a bazillon times because.... we are humans and we crave for external validation, and that's why you know, social media is on fire and is present in everyone's life (including me, of course, :P) Especially, if you grew up in a household where there was neglect unintentionally or intentionally, the craving to seek external validation grows further no doubt. But can humans around us give us that? Are they capable of giving us the value and validation we desire? To an extent, yes, but not fully.
