Two people discuss invalidation as a primary source of human pain. When others dismiss or reject your experience, it creates isolation and fuels anger and conflict. The conversation explores why being told your feelings don't matter hurts so deeply.

What is the thing that causes the most pain for most human beings?
I think it's invalidation.
Invalidation? Is it more them invalidating themselves or others invalidating them?
Others invalidating them, really? I think being made to feel like you are crazy, like you are alone. Nobody else feels this. Nobody else has gone through this. What's wrong with you? I think that is the genesis of so much suffering, of anger, of war. I mean, just on a large scale.
