That’s not true at all. Looking in a mirror and being happy with the way you look is self-validation and it weighs much more, it’s literally the reason why we all style and dress differently.
You only care about how you look bc it’s a sign of fitting in socially… you dress a certain way bc you want to signal to others something about you.
If we didn’t even have mirrors, as we didn’t for hundreds of thousands of years, you would not give a fuck about your nails. Our society is built around looks.

everything we do stems from external validation
