What mental illness do i have? Can't feel happy unless i am validated by women
I always need to be reassured by women that i am loved by them or wanted by them. When a woman tells me i am attractive and she wants to be with me i feel like i am on a high, nothing else in life matters and i am constantly happy. If the woman disappears from my life or if we break up it's the complete opposite, i am then stuck in a depression feeling worthless.

I am currently in a relationship with a trainwreck of a woman yet still the need for validation from other women. Obviously i don't act on it because i don't want to cheat, and sex with other women isn't even important, i just need to know that i am still appealing to women. Like sometimes i'll make a dating site profile and leave it up for a month and then when i get a few messages from women i'll take it down because i feel satisfied that i have received some correspondence from other women.

Same thing with if one of my gfs friends tells her about me "Gawd he's good looking isn't he" etc i feel alive and great because i have been complimented by a woman in that way.

On the other hand i get real miserable and depressed if a woman takes the validation away. I recently broke up and lost touch with a woman and it was me that ended it, yet even now i miss her and want her back in my life simply because she showered me with validation and approval. Now i have lost touch with her i want it back even though i don't think we would make a good relationship.

I know this sort of thing can't be normal but i've always been this way. So what mental illness is this?

It's not an illness - it's normal. YOUR normal.

I'm the same way, but for me to be valid, a woman must have sex with me at least every two days. That rarely happens, and I know I'm not valid as a person. My only real value is as a competent worker and producer of value.

Perhaps no illness in you at all. Did you grow up with a mother that could've had narcissistic personality disorder? It explains a lot in men who describe your "issues".

Love heals. Seek God. God is love.

Once you understand your importance as a child of God, you will no longer waste your life seeking validation.

Re: What mental illness do i have? Can't feel happy unless i am validated by women
One thing I have learned more and more than I am approaching forty is that man in general is looking for consideration, while woman is looking for valorization.

It is very difficult to find a middle ground if one of the two have a lack of empathy!

If I had begun my life again, I would have sought in a woman the first Christian quality the empathy and who is satisfied with the simple things of life.

The more I get older the more I lost the hope of finding consideration from a woman and I live well once I have accepted it.
Consideration is found elsewhere when one takes the time to seek it. In man it is very easy to overcome by simple friendship.

But for the woman the older she gets, the more she becomes mad in her quest for valorization! Valorisation is much harder to find in this society than consideration.
That's why women become crazy.

We see one or two women for a group of 10 men
Young girls coming out with wealthy old people

When a woman has no family or a job to value her, they become sick.

We men complain about them, but it rather they that are to be pitied,They are in search of an unattainable dream.

I fully understand!

There are girls out there that are quite OK with emotionally validating you, especially if you reciprocate. It's much harder to find one that's so needy as to deal with a sexually needy guy.

Codependence is good for many people, though it has a bad psychological rap. The bad part is that one person is likely to grow out of it before the other. Sometimes a good codependent relationship can last a lifetime.

You MUST learn self-sufficiency. Relying on another person is NOT effective. In fact, I can tell you from personal experience that it is incredibly annoying. My wife use to be so self-sufficient, but in the last couple of years she has become so needy and clingy. It is driving me crazy and putting an incredible strain on what was a very positive relationship.

Love is truly hard to define, but validating a loved one is done as either a natural action or a conscious act of love. Either way, it's love. If a loving partner doesn't want validation for any reason and communicates that, the other loving partner ceases validating as an act of love.

You are responsible for your own self-concept. Allowing others to define your "worth" with their adoration will, as you can anticipate, have an unhappy ending due to the fact that you will ultimately get older, lose your looks, etc.

Love addiction too. That explains the high.

You have value because you exist--not because someone else gives it you. Even if you're not acknowledged by anyone else--you can appreciate yourself and give yourself value every day.

You were created by god so you are a valuable part of his creation. Love yourself first by considering yourself a person of value. It will take time to change your thinking but it will with practice.

interesting that people seek validation for love, i hv had issues with seeking external validation for approval, instead of following my own thinking / instincts

i agree with you ... i dont think love is validation for most people (people cld just pay lip service and say what you want to hear anyway)

this is also solid advice, op

-----

hv nothing further to add but, my ex was a bit like you ... needing constant affirmation and wanting constant shows of affection ...
frankly, it is very draining to be in a relationship like that ...
when his mother told me during conversation that, "x is always happier when he has a girlfriend" .... shld hv taken it as a warning,
but i didnt understand whether it was a character warning or if it was a slight against me,
like, hes happy but not bc of you, but just bc he has a gf (fiance at that time)...
she was correct, bc for all the words he spoke i dont believe he ever really truly loved me ... in fact, think he is incapable of it. too bad i didnt heed her words, as well as many other red flags .... says something i nvr forgot the conversation

so.....if you are incapable of real true love and are a psychopath / sociopath (idk, but think he is, but i cld be wrong) pls spare these women from getting involved with them until you sort this out for yourself.

as far as lack of attn goes ... my ex was the youngest child and his mother kept him hoke an extra year before starting school ... she said he needed the extra time, but he is highly intelligent, so maybe he had emotional issues as a kid (but, that was nvr said) or she was so attached that she didnt want him to leave to start school .... hv believed the latter, but cld be wrong

did your mom give you lots of attn / very attached to you when you were a child?
