In a way. Believe feelings valid to extent that they are being felt. Actions due to those feelings not necessarily.

@melina_bea I don't think ppl mean others claim them not to have the feelings but that they claim them to be baseless by 'invalidate.' -
.
@melina_bea If some1 is deeply hurt every time their work is criticised, these feelings are real.They're not 'valid' in sense of reasonable -
.
@melina_bea Some1 with that person's best interests at heart won't affirm the rightness of the feelings but consider how to overcome them. -

@melina_bea Eg, I'm trying to counteract some horrible ideas about 'offence' coming from my daughter's school:pic.twitter.com/EiuuJiyHTW

Oooh thanks for that clarification. Yes, definitely agree with you here! But what can I say, I love to argue!

What I mean is, can't tell someone "you can't feel that way" because they cant help it. To that extent they're valid. No further

@melina_bea Yes, the feelings need dealing with but not necessarily by everyone else. Foremost responsibility belongs to feeler of them. -
Exactly! Hence my thought of not enough validation in childhood. Validation by parent helps person learn to deal with feelings >

rather than put responsibility on others. Special snowflakes seem insecure to me more than anything else.

There's a general sense that feelings shld never be hurt. Whether this is coz feelings neglected or coddled cld be a factor.
