- spencerflem 1y agoStill acknowledges that they understand youre feeling cold and that you'd rather not be. I guess it doesn't agree that it's something you should be feeling, just that you are feeling it. Maybe its a definions thing, idk which of the two validation is supposed to refer to
- lcnPylGDnU4H9OF 1y ago> which of the two validation is supposed to refer to In this context, it's the former. If I say, "It's dumb that you feel that way but here's you're stupid gloves," to a toddler, I solved their problem but I also likely made them feel like their problem is somehow not a "valid" one. Especially when this happens repeatedly to children is when they grow up with particularly anti-social behaviors, for fear of others abusing them similarly.
