Seeking Validation Leads to Overcommitment
Many individuals overcommit because they seek validation through being needed by others, equating being needed with self-worth. This desire for external validation can result in saying yes to more projects or favors than feasible, leading to overwhelm and burnout. Recognizing that self-worth is not solely based on how much one does for others is crucial in setting boundaries and aligning commitments with personal values and well-being.
