Hi, Friends!
I see you’re here, clicking on this article, perhaps feeling a bit curious. You might be thinking, “Is she talking about me?”
Well, let me quickly satisfy your curiosity, offering some relief (*wink, wink).
Delve into the world of approval addicts and encounter 3 distinct types of individuals in this post. This info may make you judge your own habits and behaviors.
Super Awesome Side Note: Before we start, understand we will not claim contested truths. And we will refrain from falling into the trap of “teaching man-made ideas as commands from the Creator.”
Out of respect for believers, we will simply acknowledge the multiplicity of views on this subject (the keyword is “acknowledge” and not agree). That said, this is a non-exhaustive list. So use this list to do further research.
Super Psst… the big secret I’ve been hinting around about on social media for a few months now has finally been revealed… (its also why I have been MIA for a bit… ) Read on after this post for the juicy details.
*Disclaimer: Before you make judgement calls based on these signs, please first research righteous judgement. Okay? And of course this post is F.Y.I. only. These tips could help you if you use self-control. And these tips could help you if you are a believer in Christ. Also, always do further research. Also, the sources for this or any post do not equal a full endorsement of any ministry or evangelist’s personal views by Awayion.com.**
TL:DR A quick post glance:
- The Narcissist
- The Perfectionist
- The Professional Blamer
Sound fancy ladies? Okay, let’s start.
1. The Narcissist (AKA Social Media/Selfie Promoting Professional)
On social media, it’s hard to miss the sight of this approval addict. They constantly crave praise, seeking it even from strangers. Their posts flood your feed with pictures of their outfits, workplace, dates, meals, plane tickets (with their full name boldly displayed), passports, and more – a daily obsession.
These narcissists indulge in extreme self-love, money, boasting, and even abusive behavior. Being around them is draining, a constant assault on your senses. So protect your heart diligently, for most narcissists have no desire to change their ways, resulting in poor relationships with others. It’s best to steer clear of them.
Research ❤ 2 Timothy 3:2, Proverbs 4:23

2. The Perfectionist | approval addict
This approval addict, with a haughty demeanor, considers themselves a god. That being said, know the only One who walks in complete perfection is Christ alone. All mankind, like mere mortals, will never achieve the pinnacle of flawlessness that Christ embodies. Never.
The Perfectionist, driven by an insatiable thirst for validation, will stop at nothing to prove their superiority over human weaknesses. They crave the approval of others, their desperate need permeating the atmosphere like a suffocating scent. With boastful words and a self-centered display, they exhibit narcissistic behaviors.
The perfectionist, relentless in their pursuit, meticulously scrutinizes any perceived flaws you may possess. Like a hawk eyeing its prey, they dissect every imperfection, leaving no detail unnoticed. It would be wise to recognize their true nature swiftly.
Research ❤ Hebrews 12

3. The Professional Blamer | approval addict
This approval addict, with a mind-set of “me against the world,” exudes an insatiable craving for validation. Their inability to acknowledge their own shortcomings is palpable. In their perception, they never bear responsibility for any problems; instead, they always find fault in others. Similar to the perfectionist, this approval addict aspires to god-like status. Engaging in a debate with such a professional blamer is futile and unwise.
