Generation Z og behovet for ekstern validering

Why is Gen z´s own approval, not enough? throughout the years' people’s perspective on what values in life has changed. A few decades ago, people used to value such things as love, having a good wealthy family, etc. But in today's day, those values have changed. Today people are more focused on feeling valued by society. People feel the urge to be perfect in everything they do, they feel the need to be validated by social media, male validation, academic validation, etc... It is something that a lot of people struggle with and would say it's some sort of addiction.
