The Law of Attraction Is a Lie (Here’s Why It Keeps You Exhausted + Alone)

HOT TAKE: The Law Of Attraction is self help propaganda for a system that wants you exhausted and alone. 

Every single person needs external validation as a part of being human. The western myth is detrimentally combined with the Law Of Attraction crowd and it’s tearing people’s psyche’s apart. In fact, everything LOA is built on the framework of capitalism. And it’s NOT how LOA works.

(individualism is not how we’re wired as humans so you can see the damage here)

The myths of the western world: 

❌“Take your pew and go west.” AKA strike out on your own

❌“You gotta take what’s yours.”

❌“It’s all about you and on you.”

❌“You can be anything you want to be (if you just work hard enough and you want to be something the empire deems acceptable)

❌“Pull yourself up by the bootstraps.”

❌“I have to make my own destiny.”

❌“Nobodys going to help me I need to do everything alone.”

❌“Life is all about me making ‘it’ happen.”

Essentially the onus is on the individual and succeeding is only correct if you did it all alone.

Enter the Law Of Attraction Crowd…

🛑 We’re taught we have to do it all alone and should only ever need internal validation. 

🛑 We’re taught that we should be hypervigilant about our words so that we don’t manifest ‘something bad’. Like the “universe” is a pedantic literal fuck and if we say something in the wrong way it will smite us with their ironic sense of humor.

🛑 We’re taught that the only way to “get what you want” (which is probably individualizes by nature of this “practice”), is to do it on your own; that self-reliance promises you happiness and external validation is wrong, bad and shameful.

These western doctrines are promoting performance over authenticity and rugged individualism over collective contribution. 

If The Law of Attraction teaches that “thoughts are things” and they shape your external reality, arent you still looking for external validation? It’s just unspoken. Somehow changing your “external” is your internal validation?? If thoughts and emotions shape external reality, it implies that material wealth, relationships, and success can be summoned by the “right” mindset. (do you feeling your perfectionism piquing yet?)

They’re both positioned as “empowerment”, but reduces life to a performance, and a solo one at that. 

Beware of the “low vibe thoughts” lest they carry messages to the universe so it can smite you! 

How’s that whole eliminating negative thoughts going for ya? In this political climate?! Are we kidding? 

This dynamic is less about internal authenticity and more about aligning the psyche with culturally approved markers of success—money, status, beauty, power—thereby outsourcing identity and worth to external conditions. 

(Do you feel your sense of security dwindling yet?!)

The problem isn’t doing things to get validation, the problem is living your life in ways to GET the validation. That’s inauthenticity. What if you trusted in yourself that when you live by ‘the way you’re made’, that the validation is a natural part of the process? Instead of doing things to get it? 

At the end of the day, we all need validation. That doesn’t make us weak, it makes us human. The problem isn’t validation, it’s contorting yourself to earn approval from an already broken culture that doesn't value what your soul does. Authenticity isn’t about doing life solo or erasing your ego. It’s about living as you’re made, letting your Being call in what reflects it, and allowing validation to arrive as resonance, not currency. 

Validation is not proof you’re worthy... it's proof your personal signature is magnetic. 

So maybe the point isn’t to eliminate the need for validation or prove we can do everything alone. Maybe the point is to live so authentically, so in alignment with the way we’re made, that validation flows naturally through community, resonance, and connection. And it’s how we build something bigger than ourselves.

✨ You were never meant to do life alone or silence your need for connection.
