Many people are deeply entangled in internal conflict, not because they think too much, but because they base their sense of worth on external factors. A single sentence from others, a look, or the outcome of a result can all influence their judgment of themselves. When a person's sense of value needs constant external validation, their inner world will remain in a state of instability for a long time. The essence of internal conflict is not sensitivity, but outsourcing of self-worth; it's not overthinking, but focusing on things beyond one's control. True growth is not about pleasing everyone, but gradually reclaiming the power of evaluation for oneself. When you no longer rely on external validation, you'll find that many anxieties automatically disappear. Because the core strength has never been the recognition given by others, but the knowledge of who you are regardless of how the outside world changes.
