Are you talking about your mom? Think we have discussed why other people's approval is so important to you? Can you write about why other people's approval is critical to your well-being? Are these those friends? Your co-workers?

Living your life for others approval will ONLY disappoint you in the end.

I meant more people who tell me there is more to life than intimate relationships even though those people are in relationships themselves.

I tend to worry that I am disliked and wanted to be excommunicated so I tend to seek approval. I worry that friends might tire of me.

I know it's cliche, but try to focus on just being yourself. Doing things to seek approval is a form of masking and isn't healthy for you, nor does it help you build relationships and character (as they'll be based on the persona you're projecting rather than the real version of yourself).
