Is it normal to want reassurance?
Yep.Totally normal
Yes, wanting reassurance is normal—most people sometimes need to hear that things are okay or that they matter. It’s only worth paying closer attention if you feel unable to cope without constant reassurance.
Absolutely. People look for reassurance when they’re uncertain, stressed, or worried about how someone feels. Wanting a little “we’re okay” or “you did fine” is a very human thing, not a character flaw.
If you find yourself needing it over and over and the relief disappears almost immediately, it may help to notice what fear is underneath and talk about it directly. You can ask for reassurance while also building ways to comfort yourself; those two things aren’t in competition.
