Insecurity

Sometimes I feel plagued by insecurity in relations with peers and family. It nags away all the time, and I wonder whether it's just me or if everyone experiences this...

I guess I just feel like they're respected and I'm not, maybe it's paranoia

ahh, right, i get you now.

i can't say i feel like that myself...

is it really bad? insecurities are ****, full stop, whatever area they're in... it comes down to lack of self belief. perhaps you compare yourself to them too much?

I have days when i feel really insecure and no matter what anyone says i can get little reassurance.. but on better days i can learn to trust others when they say i matter etc.
but i think its natural to feel insecure every now and then.

Which insecurities plague you?

the insecurity of feeling my friends are simply my friends because they pity me.
the insecurity of feeling just wish i'd disappear and leave them alone.
the insecurity that my boyfriend didn't actually want to be with me...this turned out oh so true last week..hence my even greater insecurities at the moment.

I know none of this makes sense, but don't know how else to explain it. insecurities are just horrible, agreed?

Remember: it's not 'insecurity' if you've no reason to feel 'secure' in the first place; paranoid delusion is what one should remain wary of.

Indeed; what many misconstrue for such is, in actual fact, nothing more than a failure of optimism.
