To be more specific, this summer I landed an internship literally no one expected me to get, and I had loads of eyes on me. It was an incredible job, I learned so much and the workers there made me feel amazing.

But still, even with this achievement, I still don't have a feeling of greatness, like I never got the job, like I never did anything successful. Other's do look at me as a greater man, but I don't see that in myself, and for a month now I have been seeking validation from others who did nothing over the summer, I've been seeking something I should already have.

It might be because I am practicing humility, and not being as show offy as I was before.

I just honestly want to be the man that should have gained super confidence from this achievement.

Some factors I was dealing with over the summer: I had a terrible roommate who made me feel lesser half the time (I've moved out now), and I was dealing with (sorta dealing with currently) a oneitis.

Have you guys experienced this, or got an answer to my search for validation?
