Validation means official or formal confirmation that something is correct, true, or allowed — 'validation of the test results' means someone checked and confirmed they're accurate. In technology, a form on a website 'validates' your input, checking that you typed your email correctly, for example. In everyday emotional language, 'validation' has become very common: it means feeling that your feelings or opinions are accepted and understood by someone else — 'she just wanted some validation, not advice,' meaning she wanted someone to say her feelings made sense, not to be told what to do.
