25M. I spoke to my girl best friend(21F) last week about needing a break from talking and seeing each other for a bit. I was becoming addicted to her validation and it was affecting my mood. I could go from happy and focused to anxious and depressed depending on how long she took to answer my texts. She said she understands and that I should take as long as I need.
We have been friends for 2 years now and I wanted to take a break before but I just couldn't get myself to do it. What do you think I should do? I want to stop being a weak validation seeking boy and become more of a man she can look up to.
