Have you ever felt nervous when people didn’t “like” your post?
Or questioned yourself when someone didn’t respond the way you expected?
This is the validation trap.
It’s common… but it slowly eats away your confidence.
At MindVani, we help people shift from seeking validation to discovering self-worth —
through gentle counseling and soulful psychology practices.

🧩 What is Validation?
Validation means needing approval from others.
It feels good temporarily — like getting praise, likes, or compliments.
But when you depend on it too much, you lose touch with your inner peace and psychological balance.

💎 What is Self-Worth?
Self-worth is the quiet knowing that you are enough, even if no one says it.
It comes from accepting your truth, your values, your journey.
It’s not loud — but it’s powerful.
It keeps you grounded, even when others don’t understand you.
In modern psychology, self-worth is seen as the core of mental wellness.
