Eucharia Anunobi Urges Followers to Stop Seeking Validation from Others
Veteran Nollywood actress Eucharia Anunobi recently shared valuable advice with her followers, urging them to stop seeking validation from others. In an Instagram post on December 19, 2024, the actress used her platform to emphasize the importance of self-acceptance and independence from public opinion.
In the video, Anunobi posed a thought-provoking question to her followers: “Why do you want everyone to like you? Even ice cream isn’t liked by everyone, come on.” This humorous yet insightful remark underlined her message about the futility of seeking universal approval.
Her caption further elaborated on her thoughts, saying, “Seeking to be liked by all is a sign that you are emotionally and spiritually imbalanced! Some people will hate you because to hate is what gives them joy!! Because they are genetically wicked!!! So get used to not being liked!!!!1 John 5:19.”
The actress’s words resonated with many, sparking a wave of reactions in the comment section. Some followers expressed their support, with actress Sola Sobowale succinctly commenting, “Fact.” Others shared their personal reflections, one noting, “Anyone who is always seeking validation from the public whenever he or she does something, just know say that person no clear 💯.”
Another follower explained the psychological aspect of seeking validation: “Caring what people think about you is natural. Letting it drive your behaviors and keep you from doing things you believe in is usually a sign of codependency.” This reflection was supported by an additional comment, quoting a piece of wisdom shared by the user’s mother: “Your opinion of me is none of my business.”
One Instagram user took the opportunity to dive deeper into the concept of self-perception, writing, “It can get real exhausting perceiving yourself through the eyes of others. No matter how pure your intention, you cannot control how people receive you. Give others the freedom to perceive you as they wish, for it’s merely a reflection of themselves and not your reality. Never mind who sees you. Do you see you?”
The reactions reflect a broader understanding of the issue, with one user stating, “I don’t like people who wanna be liked by everyone, just do you and move on,” and another adding, “It’s okay to be a bad person in another person’s story. Only God is perfect.”
Eucharia Anunobi’s message has clearly resonated with many, urging them to find peace in their own self-worth and to stop worrying about how others perceive them. Her call for emotional and spiritual balance serves as a reminder to embrace who we are, regardless of others’ opinions.
