Why does anyone need anyone else's validation would be a better question. People are so needy, unsecure and oversensitive nowadays. A generation of losers that's lucky to live in a time where the weakest link of the chain isn't left behind to die in the dust anymore. We're all complaining and obsessing and whining all the time. But the world owes you nothing and we refuse to come to terms with it. Pull yourself up and get on with it, no one else will do it. Don't excuse it with skin color, sexual orientation, religion, whatever. Just get on with it.
