Your Type
Once your brain starts spinning, it completely stops; you need to find someone to talk to for it to calm down slightly. This "high dependence on external listening and validation" actually reflects your inner lack of confidence in "self-judgment and bearing things alone"; you fear your thoughts are wrong or you can't digest these complex emotions by yourself, so you must confirm your feelings are valid through others' responses. But over-outsourcing emotional processing makes you lose the ability to self-soothe. Try journaling for ten minutes first the next time you're upset; when you learn to be your own best listener, your inner self will become much more stable.
