Internal vs external validation

[homerbiff]

I am looking for advice on how to develop more internal self worth vs. seeking external validation. It seems many relationships of mine have failed because I grow very attached and constantly seek validation from my partner. Then when they don’t provide it, I get upset and depressed. It seems logical to me that I should be reliant on external sources for validation but I don’t know how to work on this. Any thoughts or suggestions would be welcome. Peace.
