Addicted to validation
I love astrology and tarot readings and watching YouTube videos but I realized this kind of perpetuates my ruminating thoughts but I feel like I’m addicted to the doses of validation it does give me. It also helps me deal with relationship stress but gives me a reason to hold on to toxic relationships at the same time. Does anyone else experience this ? Mainly if you understand these concepts and how they can be useful tools but because of how we use it to cope it can become a toxic distraction. I miss approaching life embracing the mystery but I find it difficult to stop entertaining this content. Honestly though when I am more social the less I want to hear someone’s perspective on reality because I am instead just living my life and sharing it with others and that mirror explains what is reality. However I have the tendency to isolate when stressed and it becomes a negative cycle. If you have tips on getting out of your comfort zone please share :) <3
