To the op, it's called approval seeking, and the source of approval seeking is driven by fear of what others may think of you and the fear you may not be regarded well (or loved) by others.

I guess if you want to be a darkworker driven by fear, then it's a good strategy - but if you don't want to be driven by fear, then it's not.
