I don't think there's anything necessarily wrong with wanting approval from people. We are social beings after all.
I wouldn't try to deny that need or write it off if it is something you feel. I don't think you should mindlessly want approval from everyone or the wrong people, but I think everyone wants to be liked and recognized by people they respect and look up to.
You must be feeling this way for a reason. Maybe this nagging need for other people to like you is a kind of flag, indicating that, if you're honest with yourself, you're not entirely where you want to be in life. If you made some changes for the better maybe the flag would be lowered?...
