one should never seek validation from other people to feel better. If you are extremely capable, you should be the one to determine that. Are you talented? Yes, because you discovered that talent yourself. Do not rely on other people's remark and what they think of you. Build yourself. If you want to be and feel pretty, do it for yourself. You are not an exhibition and display goods. Neither you are in the showroom. Stop doing so much to pleasure other people. Start prioritise yourself.
