One of the top posts for today are "Why are so many of us afraid of women?" The top comment on that post is /u/MetalPUA 's explanation that we are a generation of men raised by women, and therefore seek the approval of the fairer sex.

So I started wondering "AM I seeking their approval?" Sure enough, I could see it in my life. So I asked myself "how do I stop doing this?"

So far, I'm blank. If someone could give some pointers on how to do this, whether it's in the form of a mindset or simply the title of a book I could read that might help me rest in myself, I'd be glad.
