Answer 1

You are feeling insecure unnecessarily. Society sets up rules and standards you must conform to or you will be mentally beaten up. You will be ostracized, denied camaraderie, criticized, graded poorly, not shown attention, made fun of, brow beaten, denied love, talked about behind your back, bullied and yelled at. And when you do not conform, society says it is some how your fault for not meeting the rules you never agreed to. You may be considering what these idiots say about you is true, and so you feel anxious. In order to fix that, society created psychiatrists, psychologists and now pharmaceuticals. That is the machine we live in. PLEASE STOP FEELING INSECURE, IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT!

Answer 2

You've got to face your insecurities head-on. If you're insecure about your appearance, get new clothes, new hair, and commit to working out. If you are insecure about your self-worth, find a volunteer activity helping people; that always brings warm feelings.

If you feel an emotion, it is your spirit telling you to take action. So the answer to such emotions is direct action in those areas.

Good luck, sweety!

If you figure it out, let me know. We all want to be accepted, appreciated, loved. Some take it for granted while others of us are too introspective to just accept what comes our way.

I look at overcoming insecurity as more than a concious choice we all must make. Everything is physical, starting with the chemical differences in the brain that allow some to overcome when life has kicked them in the butt, yet others can never overcome even when they've never received that kick. . .

To be insecure about yourself is like hating the person you are....everytime you say something negative to yourself the soul within you slowly breaks...your killing your positive energy that usually surrounds you and filling it with negative vibes. When i see someone insecure (like my boyfreind for instance) it makes me upset because god made us to be this way and we all kno that NOBODY i mean NOBODY is perfect and if no one can except that about you then there not the one for you....so why beat yourself senseless with false provato..you shouldn't have to feel ugly every morning or angry at the person you are but instead look at yourself in the mirror and say "I'M BEAUTIFUL AND I LOVE MYSELF FOR WHO I AM"....no joke try it....every day keep telling yourself that your gorgeous and one day you'll start to believe it.....and to be honest you are.....just like everybody else**

Answer 5

Could be a part of a bigger picture; have you ever been evaluated for depression? Could try therapy, self-help books. Try to improve something specific you don't like about yourself.
