Insecurities

I text a lot of people. I hang around with a lot of people. What I hear all the time are people talking about their insecurities.

Being insecure is a feeling of inadequacy. It means that one does not believe in themselves. It directly translates to one not having enough confidence in the person that they are.

For the ones who are going to bash me by saying that I don't know anything about being insecure, Let me tell you, I used to be very insecure about myself. I hated the way I looked entirely and it was not a place I wanted to be in. Some people don't understand how hard it is to get over insecurities but I had two people who understood me very well and they are my parents.

My parents made me understand things in a way where it wouldn't offend me but they made sure that the point they were trying to make did get through to me. It sure does take time to accept the person that you are but it can surely be done.

The way my parents explained things to me went somewhere along the lines of me being privileged. They told me that there are a lot of people who don't have limbs or do have limbs that won't work properly. Some of them might have incurable diseases or some of them might not have a roof over their head or any clothes to wear. Some of them don't have parental figures.

The point they made got through. I sat and thought about it for a long time and everything started to make sense. When I've got my life in order and when I've got people around me to support me and take care of me, I shouldn't be worrying about anything. I slowly came to terms with the person that I am and honestly, It felt like freedom. Whatever I considered as flaws in me became something that was normal for me.

I started seeing things in a different way.

It's no use worrying about the way you look or anything that you're insecure about when you can't change things and the best thing you can ever do is come to terms with it and work on yourself to become a better person.

It's always satisfying to see someone at their peak rather than at their lowest.
