As William continued to listen to Alice's healing melodies, her words resonated deeply within him, stirring a sense of introspection and self-discovery.
"Seeking approval from others is not a healthy practice," Alice's gentle voice cautioned, prompting William to reconsider his habitual tendency to prioritize others' opinions over his own well-being.
"You need to stop seeking validation from others," Alice's words were a gentle but firm reminder, urging William to shift his focus inward and prioritize his own needs and desires.
"The key to change lies in focusing on pleasing yourself rather than others," Alice's guidance offered a pathway towards self-empowerment and liberation from the cycle of seeking external validation. "Eventually, I found myself exhausted. I realized I wasn't living for myself, but for others, and yet I felt trapped, unable to find a way out. I started experiencing insomnia and overwhelming anxiety. I knew I couldn't continue like this, or I would eventually break down. Is there any other way to feel good about myself besides relying on others' approval?"
William pondered deeply, grappling with the realization that his happiness couldn't be contingent upon the approval of others. "If I cultivate a healthy mindset and learn to value myself correctly, can I still seek others' approval?"
He questioned whether he could continue to care for others with confidence and conviction, even as he embarked on a journey of self-discovery and self-care. "Can I still show compassion and concern for others while remaining confident and steadfast in myself?"
