I think it's crippling and always has been if you get dependent on approval from outsiders for your self worth. It seems that lately, social media has had a toxic effect on women in particular, making them so focused on approval from people they don't even know.

A great thing about getting older is that you get increasingly less concerned with what others think of you. I've always been polite and kind of everyone, but I still realize there will be people who just don't like me....and I just don't care. I don't like everyone I meet either!

And the Bible cautions against seeking worldly/other people’s approval instead of focusing on God’s approval!
