Elay Amitay Halevi argues that knowing your own worth, not selfishness, is what lets you stop seeking validation and start giving genuinely. Stop performing for people unwilling to love you. Invest in friendships that matter and let your light benefit others.

Do not fight for love that is not ready to love you. Do not waste time trying to prove that you are worthy to other people. Those who are performative, looking for you to think that they are attractive, are unattractive as a result. Stop being the person you think that they are going to love and start being the person that you love. Stop investing only in their friends and start investing in your friends. Stop trying to save them. Start to ask, why do I need to save someone? You are destined for greatness when you put yourself first, not from a selfish place, but from a place of knowing your worth and your value. This is how you truly become a giver. When you connect to your light, you will naturally shine upon the world and everyone who will remove their darkness as a result of being in the company of your light.
