Unfortunately he's not wrong. Self validation and social validation is a mirror to each other. How are you able to truly self validation if you don't have anything to reference to? Social validation provides you a lot of information, obviously not all of it is good info but a good chunk of it is.

There’s a bunch of people living in solitude just fine, and are probably more happy than many of us.

For most people tho, yes getting approval runs them deeply. But that’s because they are unconscious and immature.

I imagine myself playing the social games max 5-10 years more, and then I’ll probably be in solitude too. At least for a good period.

We'll always need some form of external social validation. Otherwise we'd do dumb stuff and get in trouble with our tribe
