Internal Self

Our internal self is constantly fighting with the thoughts and opinions of others in trying to decide how impactful they are. However, sometimes people’s opinions can be beneficial to us(under certain circumstances). The idea here is that, you must recognize that whatever they say is their particular view or judgement. With that recognition, we are able to release ourselves from the belief that their judgement should matter the most. We’ll slowly be able to “free ourselves from fear and we no longer need to look outside for validation”(Formica, Michael J). We only look to others for some sort of validation to help support our self-esteem. A sense of validation from outside sources boosts our self-esteem ultimately “making us feel better as people”(Suval, Lauren). We shouldn’t have to rely on others to help us boost our self esteem, instead we should be completely satisfied with ourselves and not really need one’s intake of words.
