Validation is a slang term used on the internet and social media to describe the act of seeking approval or acknowledgment from others for one’s feelings, actions, or opinions.
Examples:
1. Person A: Just got a new haircut, feeling a bit nervous about it. Should I keep it or go back to my old style?
Person B: Your new haircut looks amazing! Totally suits you. Keep it!
Person A: Thanks for the validation, I needed that!
2. Person X: Finally managed to finish writing my first book. Feeling a mix of excitement and self-doubt. Should I publish it?
Person Y: Absolutely! Your writing is incredible, and people will love it. Go for it!
Person X: Your words mean a lot. Thank you for the validation!
Validation helps individuals feel more confident and reassured when they receive positive feedback or agreement from others, building their self-esteem in the online community.
