For things to really change, you will also have to start to let go of wanting their approval so badly. I know it can sound weird to think strategically like this with family, but if they can tell you're really hungry for it, you give them a pretty easy in to control or manipulate you. Caring less about our parents approval is part of our development into adults, but that doesn't mean it happens automatically or easily. This is just another one of these things, like setting boundaries, where you start working on it, and it will become easier over time. I'd also try and remember that approval and support aren't the same thing. If all we've ever gotten is approval or disapproval, we may have approval confused with support (or go for approval because we feel that's the only way we'll get something resembling support), but I assure, you, they're very different. Support feels better and is more substantial and meaningful than approval. Support also tends to come with far fewer conditions than approval. Often, when we want approval very badly, what we actually want is support, which can happen with or without approval, and is a lot more emotionally nourishing than approval can ever be. Odd as it may sound, when we let go of seeking approval with people, that's usually how we find out who really is or isn't going to give us support.

“Your boos mean nothing”

Not everyone is going to like you.

That’s not news. Experience tells us that.

It shouldn’t bother us when it happens. It’s so common that we should be expecting it.

Even so, it still hurts.

Whether it’s a divorce or the end of a friendship. Maybe it’s a job hunt that never seems to pay off. Someone at work who second-guesses you. Or being treated like a thing instead of a human being.

Rejection cuts deep.

And no matter how we try to deal with our feelings rationally. No matter how many times we tell ourselves it doesn’t matter. It still hurts.

Because – no matter who we are – there’s something in us that desperately wants to be accepted.

So how do we deal with that?

We can’t turn it off, not completely. It’s just how we’re made.

But what we can do is choose. You and I can choose whose acceptance matters to us.

This is what Jesus is talking about (in today’s Gospel) when He says to His critics, “I do not accept human praise.”

Jesus doesn’t waste time looking for approval from His critics. And Jesus tells us why,

“I know that you do not have the love of God in you.”

Jesus knows that their rejection has nothing to do with Him. And everything to do with what’s going badly inside of them.

(It’s a dynamic that’s reflected in Rick Sanchez’s classic line, “Your boos mean nothing, I’ve seen what makes you cheer.”)

That’s great, but there’s still something missing. Because even if we’re not chasing the approval of people, there’s still part of us that desperately wants to be accepted.

What do you and I do about that?

We follow Jesus’ example, and “seek the praise that only comes from God.”

Look for approval from the only opinion that matters in the end.

Find your acceptance in the One who has always loved you. The One who will never reject you.
