Being loved isn't what should drive you. Your love for something or someone should be.

External validation is always nice, but you should be able to function without it. If you don't, then you have a truly uphill battle in front of you if being loved is your end goal.

    validation and love are not the same things, but commonly mistaken especially in the attention economy where people are seeking validation above all else.

    a lot of folks are so obsessed with external validation they are not capable of love anyway.
