Hi @wiseagent
I have always thought that people who seek to be accepted by groups or by other people, do not have somehow a well-defined identity of their own. they are not accepted as they are and tend to have a self-esteem below the ground.

I agree with you, looking for your own acceptance in other people is a very serious mistake.
