Humans are social creatures who naturally need the presence of others to live a balanced life. Sometimes, we feel the need to get approval from parents, partners, or friends. This tendency drives the desire to seek validation from others.
In today's social age, the desire for validation seems to be commonplace. A person's character and personality can influence how much this need for recognition is. According to astrology, there are some zodiac signs that are more likely to seek validation from others.
Here are five zodiac signs who crave validation and recognition, and the reasons behind their need.
1. Leo (July 23 - August 22)
Leo has an ego that needs to be satisfied. Among other zodiac signs, Leo is the one who craves validation the most because he loves being the center of attention.
Despite their self-confidence, Leos still need praise to maintain their self-confidence. They often seek attention through their appearance and achievements, feeling satisfied when they receive recognition.
2. Pisces (February 19 - March 20)
Pisces needs approval from many people to feel confident. As a zodiac sign that is sensitive to other people's feelings, they often listen to other people's opinions in order to be accepted. Pisces avoids conflict and tries to agree with other people's opinions, having a strong desire to be loved and appreciated.
3. Gemini (May 21 - June 20)
Gemini is an extroverted zodiac sign that craves recognition. They get their energy from social interaction and expect to receive praise in return when they compliment others.
