> What makes this difficult for me is that I don’t need to feel validated, I am comfortable with my own decisions in life and do not need someone else to approve.
I think you are conflating a lack of need for validation and the ability to self-validate.
It’s not that you don’t need any validation, it’s that you have the ability to provide yourself with the validation you need.
Don’t take that for granted. It’s both something to be proud of and a reminder that you aren’t so different from others.
