How did you overcome your insecurities and fears?

By facing them. Can’t hide from them… as for insecurities… what are you insecure about? Not good looking enough? Not smart enough? For who? I believe that that no matter how bad I might be at something there are people who are worse… and they are getting by just fine. So I don’t let it bother me. In everything you do, do your best! Give 100% of yourself to that taste (no matter what it is) and that’s what people will see.
As for fears… nothing scares me because I know my days are numbered and I don’t know what that number is… I could spend the remainder of my days worrying about that number or…. I can live every day as if it’s going to be my last (one day it will be). This goes for dating and girls…. When I meet a new girl she gets 100% honesty from me. I’m not there to try and get her with lies or exaggerations. I am 100% truthful and if that’s not good enough then I’ll move on. Is there something that you fear about the truth? There should be no fear in being yourself.
If your fears are something different then let me know what it is and we can talk about it.

I learned that insecurities and fears are self learned behavior. Something happens, your brain tries to lock onto why it happened. Since negative thoughts tend to be more powerful, they are believed to be the reason. Over time, it becomes easier to accept your negative thoughts. Everything about you will change to support why that "Something" happens. In time you believe the reason to be a face, and God forbid anyone that tries to convince you otherwise.
I had to be encouraged MANY MANY times to consider the situation of others and acknowledge it may be them, and not me.
Now, something like a fear o f Heights... Face it

I'm not an insecure person so that has never been an issue for me. I don't really have any fears. I suppose you could say a fear of not being what I think I can be in life but honestly that is a stretch to call it a fear. I just work hard and try and keep a positive attitude about life in general. When things get overwhelming and I get stressed I just take a break and think about all the things I have accomplished. That usually does the trick to calm my mind and refocus.

Sometimes it helps to jump in it. So this way just gotta do so.

Fear of failure has always been crippling to my life and I haven't gotten over it. I know all the motivational talks "Everything you ever wanted is on the other side of fear." But I haven't ever been able to get over it, even knowing all of that.

Every time someone says I'm attractive, I don't believe them and tend to brush off the compliment unless it's about my eyes, in which case I accept that I have nice eyes 😂

I'm still insecure about my height even though I'd say I'm average (5'9)

I stopped caring.

There an old line by Dr. Phil "You wouldn't care about what people thought of you if you realized just how seldom they do".

We as human beings give ourselves way to much gravity in other people's lives. If you realized just what a footnote you are in most people's lives you wouldn't worry so much about how you're perceived. Most people when they think of you are only thinking of you in how you relate to THEM. The reality is most people are just thinking primarily about themselves. This is why people LOVE it when. You ask then about them. Their interests, their hobbies. Because you're asking them about their favorite subject. This is why Dale Carnegie is famous for "how to win friends and influence people".

So let your freak flag fly man. Because most people simply don't care.

I am afraid of heights. I get scared to get in an elevator. I went to the top of the Empire State Building and I had to make myself angry to gt it the elevator. It was a scary thing for me to be up so high. I only went to the edge for a little while.

Insecurity is just low self esteem and caring what others think. Idc what others think about me because I know who I am as a person. I have high self esteem because if I spot something I don't like about myself I change it for the better.

[CozyCoffin]

I don't. I just do things anyway, whilst feeling that.

What is the worst thing that could happen works for me with fear.
