I really think the euphoria comes from the ANTICIPATION of being desired... because it's still fantasy. The reality of male validation is cheap and tacky

I think what helped me was realizing how cheap male validation actually is. We are all worth way more than that. Knowing how cheap it really is, just makes me feel icky when it happens incidentally now. Euphoria gone!

With all respect have you looked into adhd? This is also a common thing with girls with adhd. We have low dopamine so the validation we get is like a drug

“Sobriety” from male validation. It’s like how people are when they get sober. They feel like their emotions are “flat” because they are used to the high of it. Same thing really

when I stopped and realized that men can tell when a woman is looking for this type of validation I felt humiliated. It’s a weakness that we wear in our faces, it’s pathetic. I can never go back

We are healing from generations of brainwashing and propaganda that begin in childhood. It goes deep deep into the brain and nervous system. There will be disorientation and loss like leaving a cult.

I love the honesty in these comments. Like collectively as women, we are becoming aware of the objectification we experience in our younger years and how it’s affected us psychologically. I feel like media, movies, songs etc. all have groomed us into these neural pathways. All of us were used, exploited and honestly … rather innocent and naive to the consequences.

Call it “hits” of validation is so real. It’s such a drug. I completely resonate with everything you said.

The cure is girlhood. It’s going back to before this. Do things for just joy. Hula hoop. Make snow angels. Tea party. Have a bestie sleepover. Those neural pathways are there too but overgrown

This addiction to being desired is exactly why I am deeply afraid of aging. It’s sad but true. Thanks for opening up this conversation.

This is why most people cheat I think. People want to feel desired which wears off with relationships and marriages.

Yes. I am 37 and I fear I still need to deeply deconstruct this. Ugh

Totally relate. I think when you aren’t desired at home (by your parents), dating feels like finally this is my chance to feel chosen by someone, and it creates a high similar to drugs/alcohol. I’ve been “sober” from dating for 2+ years and part of me is afraid to get back out there bc I don’t want to fall back into the cycle of thrill seeking.

I wish there was a support group for us. I have never been able to talk about it, with anyone.

Realizing I only had crushes on people who already crushes on me was…. A humbling new low in self awareness LOL

Getting into sports or competitive activities helps with this. You get the euphoria from working hard and winning, same effort but on something healthier for your mind and body
