Some people will never approve of what you do no matter how hard you try. The faults they find with you may be the faults they see in themselves . If the criticizing is true try and do better.If the situation is abusive physicall or mental get out. Stay away from negative people that make you fell worse than you already do.
Four Agreements by Miguel Ruiz is a book that may help.
Be honest and keep your word.
Always do the best you can at the time.
Do not make assumptions ask questions.
Do not take things personal. When some one is upset and takes it out on you it may not have anything to do with you. (This is the hardest one for me)
Another book that might help is Nine Mistakes That Nice People Make. One of those mistakes is arguing with unreasonable people.
Take care of yourself.
Do something good for yourself that makes you happy and will not hurt anyone else. So you will not fell bad later.

Do you feel that society as a whole is falling apart? Or yourself?
Read the Bible, this may help answer some of your questions about approval.
Obeying laws is also a form of approval.
Life is full of approval, but we have to follow the ones that are necessary to survive and choose wisely all others.

People generally need the approval from others that they lack for themselves. Now, how can you approve of your life better? What do you need to do?
