What is approval seeking behavior? Approval seeking behavior is tendency to seek acceptance from outer sources such as other people before making decision. Approval-seeking behavior is something many of us struggle with without even realizing it.

Similarly, "Gossip Girl," another beloved series, showcases a world...
