I see how a lot of people, maybe myself included, seek validation from else where without seeking to get from within themself. How does a person arrive at internal validation?

Saying positive affirmations to myself has helped me reprogram my brain. I spend a lot of time putting myself down, so I also need to make a conscious effort to build myself up.
Self-forgiveness. This took a lot of soul searching and meditation. It’s an ongoing process but so important for true self love.
Lastly, indulge your inner child when possible. It’s the best and most fun way to show yourself some validation. Sometimes it’s as simple as buying yourself a toy.
Figure out what you enjoy in life and find a way to pursue that as much as possible. If you do this you won’t need validation. Find a way to have so much fun that even your family are the ones that will be looking for your validation.
