Positive feedback still means too much to me. I know it's an improper response, so I try not to let it show--I try to distract myself--but sometimes I get really needy for other people's positive responses.
It's as if my whole life depends on getting that pat on the back.
This sounds odd, but maybe I should learn to respect my own judgment enough so that I can rest with confidence in a job well done, and not have to swivel my head around looking for approval from others.
