#40 Insecurities: Let's Bring it to the Table
Hey Readcashers!
I hope you are all doing great๐ท.
I think the topic under consideration is the one which we least talk about when we are with our family or friends, but this does not lowers it's need of discussion anyway. Being insecure refers to not thinking highly of oneself, to doubt one's worth and abilities or underestimating your value as a person. Insecurities are like termites which eat up all your talent and creativity.
Insecurities be caused by many things.
A child who could not get enough appreciation for doing little things, ends up being an insecure person.
A friend, partner or companion who is always pin pointing at your weaknesses, make you so conscious of them that you cannot think beyond them and execute your plans.
When your are constantly being compared to others, for not fulfilling what you were supposed to or asked to do.
And there are many other numeral factors involved in it, like childhood traumas, being insulted in front of other by parents or teachers or not being listened.
There are innumerable things to feel insecure about, one can be insecure for not being able to fulfill their responsibility, about ones physique i.e. height, complexion, any facial feature, for not valuing ones opinions or thinking of not being good enough. All these things things are the games of our mind. We think that "I'm the only person who is feeling this way", but the reality is the person sitting next to you can be insecure about the same thing, the thing is we are all good at hiding it from others. We feel ourselves singled out, as if being different is inappropriate. The beauty of human kind is in its individuality.
The only way to get over them is to believe that not a single human is same as other, even the twins are different in many ways. So if your are seeing a person who is confident in talking to strangers and so good at being social, just don't say to yourself that he/she is better than you, because your individuality is in being a silent, calm and peaceful person.
Challenging and doing what you're most afraid of, deminishes the feeling of not being good enough.
We should often bring up such topics while discussions when we are with our family and friends. And when you feel comfortable do try to share your feelings to make them know that how they should not pin point things which you don't want to get expose for.
Now here I'm talking about such things and giving you advices about not being insecure, does not mean that I'm not insecure about anything, or I didn't go through what I mentioned. Every other person feel this way, but the thing is we should not let our insecurities to swallow our inner beauty. Dealing with them is certainly a constant tug of war, but consistent work upon them can make you feel more valuable and feel good enough to deal with things.
Thank you for your kind time, I hope you found this relatable, but if you didn't then I'm more happy for you ๐.
Stay blessed! ๐
See you guys again!๐
Bye-bye ๐
