Subjective validation

Subjective validation means that something feels true to us because we believe it to be true, even if there isn't any actual evidence to support that belief. It's like when you make up your mind about something without really knowing for sure if it's true or not.

For example, imagine that you have a lucky bracelet that you believe helps you do well in exams. Even if it doesn't actually have any magical powers, you might still feel like you did better on your last exam because you wore the bracelet. That's subjective validation – you think it's true because you believe it to be true, even though there isn't any real proof.

Subjective validation can be helpful sometimes, especially if it makes you feel better or more confident. But it's important to remember that just because something feels true to you, it doesn't mean that it's actually true. It's always a good idea to look for evidence and facts to back up your beliefs so that you're not relying solely on subjective validation.
