on validation seeking behavior
notes on some characters I've met
there's this guy I know, who seeks too much validation in his communication.
He's always telling people how awesome or clever the things he does is, rather than letting the product speak for itself. He'll make comments on how much effort he's put in, because he's insecure without someone's praise.
He's always seeking approval in his actions or thoughts. He'll state his position, then follow up with some variation of "right? / am i right?" After succeeding in some game, he'll ALWAYS hold his hand up for the high five. Half the time he'll be left hanging.
What's ironic is that in his search for validation, he is often losing it. His personality is far too self serving and he could talk to a mirror and have the same conversation and interaction he has been having.
