Hi everyone, any success stories / tips on how to care less about what boss thinks of me? I love my current job and I’m quite good at it, but I just can’t stop obsessing about getting recognition and praise from my boss. It’s not the workplace (although the climate is not the healthiest and this boss is not very popular, rarely showing approval to anyone), because I’ve always worried too much about it. I know it’s linked to my childhood and the lack of approval I experienced. I had to be perfect to be seen my one of my parents, who was otherwise very critical. So now I project this need of approval onto my bosses or superiors, basically anyone who has some power over me. 
I know psychotherapy would be best, but I’m trying to deal with it on my own now.
Any advice?
