Validation

I've been taught since childhood to love myself; my body. Unique just means you.
I always believed it.
But it's harder now. You give out compliments because they're something a person can hold onto. you have really pretty eyes.
A compliment meets a compliment, But there comes a day when you realise they don't know what to compliment; even a white lie needs inspiration. You're so smart. That's what I get after I've done something of merit.
Have I every really been complicated or did I just fool myself? I made my own judgment of myself and that used to be enough.
But do I still feel so god damn inferior?
I'm not the person people dream of. Is it too much to ask for some validation?
because right now unique means unloved.
