Quote: See-sawing back and forth is also about seeking validation. IMO, being a strong, dominant, independent, type of woman (and I am not saying you are all this, but you do have some of it in you) is about protecting yourself from lack of validation . So, yeah, I also think there is a lot to look into those feelings of rejection.
Well there's a concept I've not thought on. Independent,dominate, strong personality needing validation. I was of the opinion that this was more of the lower self esteme, personality. Heck, the strength that is brought out/to the surface to mask inferiority can project that independence. Or is that what you mean? Do you have more on this?
