    I went on a journey of self discovery after a really terrible break up. I realized there is a whole other me that is good, and kind and intelligent. These videos on self validation that you are putting out there really have helped me seek it less and less. It is a struggle, but I find myself in the grocery store bare faced and in an oversized t shirt and I feel liberated. I don’t seek out that validation as much. Thank you so very much.

    it's as if we're looking for an identity through him instead of having or expressing our own outside of that relationship

    Alessia I just really wanted to say thank you as you've really been helping me heal my relationship with myself. It's a work in progress but I've finally been able to break out of pursuing things for the sake of being attractive to men and rather pursuing those same things now because I want to and I want to be successful and smart and all those things I am/was. I feel as if i've been posing for the first 22 years of my life, being scared to be expressive or emote as i'm scared of being "ugly". Still wrestling with wanting plastic surgery and seeing my face in pictures...hopefully i'll learn to make peace with this too and accept that I have a perfectly lovely face.

    Thanks for making me feel understood. I wasted so much time appearing and subconsciously they were turning me into someone who wasn't me. I was transforming into the ideal person, but in someone else's life, not my own. Now the journey is long and tortuous, full of traumas and patterns to resolve, but I am sure that I will become the woman I want to be. for MYSELF.

      ​@@alessiasutherberryYou clearly seek f'm'l'e validation. So why isn't this vid titled swap m'l'e validation with f'm'l'e validation?

    Personally, I’m not attracted to men. But in society, women and people assigned female at birth are taught that we should look to men to validate us. Everything we do is scrutinized, and we’re just taught that this is how it’s supposed to be. So, even though I’m not into men, I still look for validation, because it makes me feel like I’m somehow more worthy as a person.
    Overall, I really appreciate your videos, Alessia. They’ve definitely helped me get better at validating myself, and not relying on validation from men, or the heteronormative society we live in.

    Alessia thank you, I relate so much to what you're saying in this video and it's such a relief that I'm not the only one feeling this and going through this! I just got out of my first ever relationship and one of the reasons (besides being incompatible with my partner) was that I felt like he's not seeing me for who I am as a person and rather sees me as the idea. I didn't feel like I could express my thoughts and opinions (because it seemed like he wasn't really interested and only wanted me to sit still, look pretty and listen to his stories/thoughts/etc), so I just closed off a little and stopped telling him anything, then I realized I don't want this kind of person in my life bc what's the point if I can't be myself around him and have to perform all the time. Glad that I realized it soon enough (we only dated for 2 months so it's fine).
    And yes - I got into this relationship because I wanted this validation, because I wanted to be chosen so bad. I didn't really care that we're incompatible and I don't really like him as a person in the first place. Lesson learned, so hopefully in my next relationship I will express myself more and will choose someone who actually sees and accepts me for my personality, not just looks.

    • @alessiasutherberry
      @alessiasutherberry  6 місяців тому

      I really appreciate your vulnerability and honesty my lovely. Your story really resonates with me and I am proud of you. 🥰
      It's difficult to acknowledge that what we really want is validation/ to be chosen. It's hard to admit because it can feel icky. But in a patriarchal world it should be expected that women end up seeking this male approval.
      You are not alone - so many of us women get you. 💗💗💗💗💗

    If there wasnt such a scarcity of kind good looking accomplished men who treated women well then things would flow much more naturally then women wouldn't feel pressure to latch on reassured that they have options. Knowing what is out there it becomes harder and harder to throw the half cooked ones in case the next one is more rotten.

    Step one: buy a bike
    Step two: buy another bike
    Step three: buy a third bike, cycle 50 miles a day and train like a mofo
    Step four: buy horrible tasting supplements and become an obsessed foodie
    Step 5: get the booty of your dreams and watch the men flock to you
    Step 6: start checking out the guy's bikes instead of the guys themselves
    Step seven: prefer to go train instead. If they want to tag along they better keep cadence!
    Step 8: buy carbon wheels

      Is not reacting an option? I wouldn't bother wasting precious energy on trying to engage someone if they hold deeply sexist beliefs. Trying to reason with the unreasonable is often a waste of time and it's not your job to educate, within reason.
