No, not really. It does help, but I don't rely on it. I have learned to accept and love the person that I am. There are days when I am really down and welcome encouragement and approval of others. On those days that is when I rely on it. I don't ask for it, it seems to just come my way. It's as if others know I am in need of it, seriously, I had a total stranger come up to me one day and tell me how beautiful I was and they went on and on about my smile and twinkling eyes. No, they weren't hitting on me. They were just being nice. I walked away after thanking them for the complement feeling a lot better.
