Feeling invalidated quotes

Twitter

You get to decide right here and now that you are already good enough!✨ You feel it in your bones, even if buried below, that you are worthy of feeling loved, and worthy of your experiences being validated. Even if you grew up in a home where you felt unseen and your experiences invalidated. But, as an adult you can be left feeling like your needs are never met. Like you’re not good enough. And somewhere, underneath this, might be the belief that you don’t deserve to have your needs met....

We all long to be seen, heard, and understood. But most of the time, I experience the opposite — invalidated.

Don't dismiss, invalidate or minimize someone else's feelings or experiences just because you don't understand them. People's feelings are real and they mater, whether we understand them or not.
