Human beings are often touted to be the strangest creatures, and we all seem validation, acceptance and love amongst our peer groups.
As per Maslow’s hierarchy of needs (a psychology theory), esteem and love/belonging are indispensable segments of human behaviour.
Esteem requires extreme validation, appreciation, acknowledgement and acceptance, especially from those whom we love.
Relying on superficial assurance or validation often makes us anxious, angry or revolted against the person whom we seek validation from. A lack of self-confidence creeps up when you don't get such acceptance snf may cause us to behave rather inappropriately and have trouble seeking self-esteem. The disapproval, criticism and rejection of Someone whom Your heart Craves for Becomes especially Painful because We put So much Stock into That person’s opinions.
For Shiva, it's always been Raavi. He is caught in a vicious loop of seeking validation from her, which further weakens his self-esteem.
It isn't Raavi’s fault, but somehow, she has rejected him every time he is caught on a thread. To understand where they stand today, it's essential to see them from the start.
They are stuck in a quagmire of deep-rooted issues—Will talking help, maybe not. A simple validation, acceptance will work like magic! It will.
The minuscule seconds of a strange expressive Shiva with a deep breath says it all. Maybe he is worthy too!
Disha entering and Shiva glancing is just so raw, honest and layered. Honestly, I love the subtle nuances.
Every word is carved so beautifully.
I never thought Maslow could be quoted w.r.t ITV show. Kudos truly. ❤️
