Don’t Provide Security for Your Insecurity
The online Cambridge dictionary describes insecurity as the lack of confidence in one’s abilities or whether people like you.
Some people grapple with insecurities often, like fear of rejection, low self-esteem, or being too conscious about other people’s thoughts and feelings.
There’s usually a little negative voice of insecurity that can bog you down and threaten your mental health.
Back in the day in high school, I grappled with low self-confidence. To resolve the issue, I decided to try participating in a public speaking competition.
Sure, I thought I couldn’t measure up to the others but shockingly, I performed exceptionally well.
Recently I also struggled with the inability to approach girls I admired because of fear of rejection deep down.
I then dared myself not to evade them, but engaged girls — not in a bid to get into many relationships but to develop my confidence.
I realized it was not that hard. That is why I’m suggesting not to provide security for your insecurities by evading them but rather, daring to confront them.
