According to Osho, seeking recognition is a soul-sickness that feeds the ego and perpetuates tension and inferiority. Human approval only nourishes the false self; real recognition is already showered by existence—silently. Drop the hunger to be seen, relax, cleanse through tears or celebrate through dance; as the ego dissolves, you immediately feel universally recognized and at home.
Chasing praise makes your pretend self bigger; when you stop chasing and relax, you notice the whole world was already smiling at you.
