How approval seeking behaviour can be masking low self-esteem

Approval seeking behaviour is another form of over-compensating behaviour that some people engage in to protect their low sense of self-worth being from activated. Although it can sometimes be a useful strategy, and being held in high regard and accepted, is often a nice feeling, for some people this sense of being worthwhile is fleeting and they constantly seek approval of others to boost their self-esteem. It is often derived from a deep seated belief of not being good enough, not worthwhile, or a belief of being defective in someway. Instead, we encourage developing a high sense of self-worth - knowing that you are worthy of being cared about, even if you don't succeed in a task.
