Dr. Aziz explains how people become addicted to others' approval, chasing a temporary hit that keeps them repeating the same behaviors. He's been there himself for years and asks whether you recognize the pattern in your own life.

Are you addicted to others? Approval.
Now, you might not use that word. You might not even think.
You'Re addicted to it. That sounds pretty intense, right? Well, actually.
We can be. I was for many years. And like.
An addict, we always need more.
So ask yourself this.
If you hustled.
To get someone's approval, you said the right things, you worried about it. You pre planned the conversation, you did whatever you think was supposed to get them to like you. And maybe they did seem to approve of you. Pretty sweet, right? How long does that last? You have to bring it to the next conversation.
The next meeting, the next.
Person, or even that same person. Now you're stressing about the next time you're going to see them because you got to get the approval again. So like any addiction we get, the more we want, it's not satiated.
So are you.
My friend, hungering endlessly for approval? And the other question I have for you, what.
Is going to make it stop?
