How about focusing on others instead of yourself? Be interested in people around you, listen to them and soon they'll seek your approval. Not many people are really concerned about the other. Some of them might turn out to be intelligent enough to start appreciating you and walk beside you instead of leading or following. That's how great friendships are established which can lead to unconditional acceptance where no approval is "needed" anymore.
