That sucks. Have you found ways to help override that need for external validation?

    No. I'm very sensitive to criticism and I lose motivation easily (with a host of other things — suspected ADHD I'm postponing getting tested for). I require a lot of external validation and pressure to function beyond bare minimum.

    That's tough!

    Originally I meant it as more of an empowering question - in theory this isn't something that has to define you.

    Granted, it's a huge challenge to change, but it doesn't have to define you if you choose to chip away at it. At least, thats what i tell myself,anyway - I'm wired similarly
