What's the difference between someone who really wants something and someone who just wants to be known to have something?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
The difference is that someone who really wants something desires it for personal satisfaction and values it for its inherent qualities, while someone who wants to be known to have something desires it for the recognition and status it brings, rather than for its inherent qualities.<|im_end|>

What deeper motivations would be underlying causes of these different reasons for wanting something? If I know someone only wants something because they want to get external validation, what does that say about them as a person?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
That they value opinion of others for them very highly also they are not self-confident. They might doubt their abilities and accomplishments.<|im_end|>

Would you say people who want to be known to have something are aware that they are in that category? if not, what are some tips to recognize which category I'm in?<|im_end|>

It's not always clear if someone is aware that they just want to be known to have something or not. It can be subjective and sometimes people may not even be aware of their own motivations. However, you can try asking yourself a few questions to determine your motivations:

1. Is your goal to gain recognition or to satisfy your own needs?
2. Do you care more about what others think about you, or about your own growth and development?
3. Do you feel satisfied once others acknowledge your accomplishments, or does your satisfaction come from the process of achieving your goals?

Answering these questions can help you understand your motivations and whether you are in the category of wanting to be known to have something, or if you truly have a genuine desire for the thing itself.<|im_end|>
