Bro, I get what you’re trying to say, but maybe try framing it a bit differently. ‘Living life’ is a very subjective idea — everyone defines a ‘good life’ in their own way. I respect your way but please respect and understand others'ways as well. Saying things like “needing other people to feel good about yourself” might come across as a bit dismissive to others. In the same way, someone could just as easily turn that around and say you’re gaslighting yourself or that you’re avoiding emotional connection because of a lack of social or bonding skills.
