Let me know if I’m getting too deep for this (brand new) comm, but I’ve noticed lately that all of my sense of validation at this point in my life comes from other people. Is it possible to gain this feeling from my self or is that unrealistic?

Internal validation comes from practice, in my experience. You have to learn to be comfortable impressing yourself, and being alone with yourself. If you're having a hard time, saying words out loud to yourself as if you're talking to someone else can help. EX. "Wow, I look really good today" or "I did such a great job making dinner tonight." You're always going to seek external validation to a point, but developing this skill will for sure help you need it less.
