Welcome back to The Girls Classroom. Let me know your feedback on the latest episodes in the Q&A or via our email.

Not everyone will clap for you — and that doesn’t mean you’re failing. Some will stay silent. Some will judge. And some will pretend not to see you, just to avoid facing their own fear. But your worth isn’t measured by the volume of their applause.

• We’re wired to seek validation, but approval can quietly become addictive
• The external validation loop keeps you performing, even when no one’s watching
• Social media amplifies performance culture, making silence feel like failure
• People may withhold support out of jealousy, fear, or discomfort
• If you carry rejection wounds, you may over-apologise, people-please, or dim your light to feel safe
• You don’t need the applause — quiet wins and private pride are just as powerful
• Shifting to internal validation means finding alignment, not chasing applause
