They know deep down it's all bullshit. That's why they freak out if anything ever so slightly pokes a hole in the bubble of delusion. Normal people don't need "validation" to know who they are or to like themselves.

Honestly everyone would understand this a lot better if people knew about Cluster B personality disorders and mental health conditions that give people an extraordinarily weak sense of self. Then we wouldn’t be rushing to validate all of this nonsense. Mental health professionals should know better than anyone exactly what they’re dealing with here and instead they hand over the keys and let the inmates run the asylum.
