Answer 1

Answer 2

This is a tough one. I used to be REALLY insecure especially in my teen years and early 20's. At this time in my life I have really reached a point where I feel a lot more confident and secure in who I am. I believe a lot of that came from getting to know myself more as an adult. Experiences I have been through have taught me as well. I try to focus on the positive things about myself and really just love myself. I used to say horrible things about myself until someone asked me one day if I would say those things to my best friend. I then realized that I wasn't being my own best friend. That I think is KEY to overcoming insecurities. Also, I chose to hang around people that made good decisions and were responsible and were good influences. Believe it or not you if you are hanging around people who are also insecure and aren't very motivated to grow-up in life it is hard not to be apart of that lifestyle. Anyhow, that is what worked for me and I hope it does for you as well.

Answer 3

Insecurities come from worrying about yourself when you are with other people. It really is a "self-centered" problem. If you can somehow get your mind onto the OTHER person, rather than yourself, you will find the insecurities to be not operative in the relationship. It's not an easy thing to do, though.

Answer 4

I hav e been trained to teach children and adults to build self esteem. It is the key to everything. I agree with proud daddy.........pray to God and know that he made you for a reason and you are great.
Also:
self esteem changes for us. Sometimes we have high self esteem when we are good at something and other times we have low self esteem.........when we are unsure.
When you are feeling low, remind yourself how you feel when you have high self estetem and try to use that to help you over come the insecurities. Tell yourself that you can do it and make a plan to do it.
Use your strengths to over come your weaknesses.
Think about all the positive things that you do throughout the day.
Hang around with positive people who don't complain
Make it your mission to make someone else have a good day by complimenting them, writing a nice note, etc. It will make you feel better knowing you helped someone.
Practice........what ever you feel insecure about......practice until you get better. If it is your attitude about yourself....give yourself compliments and thyink about all the nice things that people say about you.
Believe in yourself and take baby steps. It will get better.

Answer 5

Good question....let me know when you come up w/ the right answer.
What I try to do is look at myself and think about what makes me special. What I can do good and right and be comfortable w/ that. Realize that you are not God, not perfect, never have been, never will be. Be humble and know that you only can change you. You can change other people or how they feel about you. Know that you are special, made in God's image and were put here for a purpose.When you learn to love yourself for who you are, others will love you for who you are.
