External feedback from others influences your feeling of self-worth.
Choose motive:
It’s important to you what others think about you. Your self-esteem is enhanced by the positive personal feedback of others. You have a high desire for positive approval by others and value public acknowledgment. You thrive on receiving recognition. You prefer high-visibility projects where your work can get acknowledged.
Occasionally in order to gain more certainty in your opinions, ideas, and goals, you might seek appreciation and then combine that with your own internal process. You are confident in your own abilities and skills. You are open to feedback from your environment but sometimes you might be sensitive when being criticized -- even if it’s appropriate.
You don't need outside recognition as you generate that energy internally. When others give you appreciation you might find it confusing or even uncomfortable. You strive not to draw attention to yourself. Being in the spotlight makes you feel uncomfortable. You attach little importance to being praised for your work. You take criticism factually rather than personally.
