I realized something recently that kinda bothered me once it clicked.

Most people don’t actually validate ideas, they just ask for opinions.

Like you’ll see posts where someone’s like “is this a good idea?” and then a bunch of people reply saying it sounds cool or they’d use it or whatever… but realistically most of those people were never gonna use it in the first place.

It’s basically just guessing, just with other people involved so it feels more legit.

I’ve done the same thing too so I’m not even trying to call anyone out. It just doesn’t really tell you anything useful.

I feel like real validation is more about whether someone actually does something, even if it’s small. Like do they ask questions, do they seem genuinely interested, would they take a few seconds to click something or sign up or anything like that.

Because people will say something sounds good and then forget about it immediately.

I’ve been trying to pay less attention to what people say and more to how they react, but I’m still figuring it out.

curious how other people here think about this
