Approval addiction—also called people-pleasing or validation dependency—is a psychological pattern where a person feels a compulsive need to gain the approval, praise, or acceptance of others, often at the expense of their own needs, boundaries, or values.
Key Characteristics:
• Constantly seeking praise or affirmation from others
• Fear of rejection, disapproval, or conflict
• Difficulty saying “no”
• Overcommitting to please others
• Basing self-worth on how others perceive you
• Avoiding authentic self-expression to avoid disapproval
