Insecurity .......... Whats your opinion?

Answer 1

Yes it exists. In my case: It manifests slowly over an extended period of time, and all of a sudden, you realize you are insecure with certain parts of yourself. Sometimes people don't want to admit insecurities, because, to them, by admitting it to themselves or someone else it means they are not as strong as they think they are......and if they are not as strong and confident as they think they are, then WHO ARE THEY? Whew.....I have been doing a lot of introspection over the past year or so...realizing the insecurities I once had/or still have. I never realized I had them...I am starting to get to know ME and LOVING me
I believe everyone is insecure in one way or another during certain times of their life......and it is how you deal with those insecurities is more important than whether or not you have them.

Answer 2

An insecure person was not given enough love and positive feedback when they were a child. I have middle child syndrome. My older sister was number one and always got good grades. My younger sister was the baby girl. My younger brother was the baby and only boy. I was not as driven as my older sister, nor babied as the two younger ones. I was basically ignored except when I brought home report cards that had below average grades on them or my mother wanted her house cleaned.
Now, my older sister has a degree and lives in a big house, my younger sister is divorced and holding two jobs to support her shopping habit, my brother has a good job and a big house and guess who has taken our ailing mother into their home to care for her as her body gives away to a rare neurological disease. That's right...me.
I'm not defending insecurity, but actually I believe I have the best, happiest life of all of us (sorry but not the taking care of Mom part). My older sister is in a loveless marriage and lives her life separate from him and hides things from him. My younger sister is lonely and always on the brink of bankrupcy. My younger brother married a super b*tch and is estranged from the family. I have been happily married for 35 years to a good man, who also has middle child syndrome. We are good to each other and love each other. I don't want to think about where I would be without him and vice versa.

It sucks, and it's bred into us from the time we're born. Our society does everything it can to make us feel insecure about the way we look. Our cheating spouses make us feel insecure about our relationships and self-worth. We get it from all sides! It sucks royally.

It is really something that has to be overcome. It prevents risk taking, which in turn prevents adventures, which in turn makes life a little boring. Everyone is a little insecure about something, but you can't let it be crippling.
