WHY HUMANS SEEK APPROVAL
reasons : safety, brain chemistry, rejection
why? : human's seek approval because it is a survival mechanism > for the need to belong or have a connection with one an another
seeking validation is normal human behavior, it's normal to have a desire to feel wanted, accepted, and heard. however if it's constant and extreme, it could be a sign of a mental health problem.
realistically belonging to a group/someone could mean access to food, shelter and protection
reason why IT'S tied to brain chemistry : The brain's dopamine system treats approval like a fun, pleasurable experience, making you feel happy when accepted or approved
Neural circuitry processes social exclusion/social rejection similarly to pain, making one avoid it, it treats any sort of rejection as pain or heartbreaking. fear of conflict/arguements are apart of this and leads to avoiding it. and lessens the risk of being hated/disliked
childhood conditioning could also be apart of this, growing up with praise or growing with rejection teaches people to either fight for approval, or have a sort of approval and need to be wanted, heard, accepted.
also the reason why seeking approval from parents or why people do so is because the brain is wired to look at caregivers/parents as primary source of safety and important.
