You are not alone. Everyone faces struggles just like you. You can get through it. And you will not always feel this way.


You are stronger than you think you are. And you can face this and get through it. You just need to take it one step at a time.


If you need help do not be a afraid to reach out to someone you trust, help is always there for you and can guide you through, because you don’t have to face it alone.


People will not judge you, they are there to help you and get you through the hard times. You will be surprised once you reach out, how wonderful people really are if you let them be.


Talking about things really does help. A problem shared is a problem halved.


You are brave, you are strong, you can get through this. And you don’t need to do it alone xx

[AsunderingNova]

Wow!!! thank you so much! That actually made me feel a little better :)
Truthfully, its one reason I created this account, and posted this question.
I am hoping to surround myself with people with characteristics just like you listed!!
Someone who is open to talking about some of my struggles, and is willing to support me through it.

[its_amelia_c]

It’s about finding the right people, people you trust, who are supportive and caring. That you can go to and can help you through the good times and the bad. That you know you can rely on to be there when you need them.

Everyone needs someone to talk to. It really helps to get the thoughts out instead of keeping it all locked up inside.

Just make sure you choose the right people. As sometimes if you trust the wrong ones, it can make things worse and hurt you. Xx

[AsunderingNova]

Thank you so much! You are totally right!
Would you be comfortable helping me out? Maybe chatting?

[its_amelia_c]

If you ever want to chat, you can feel free to reach out :)

[AsunderingNova]

Thanks! I am only 1xper though, so I can't send out first yet.

[its_amelia_c]

I don’t know what that means?

[AsunderingNova]

GAG doesn't let people send messages first until they reach a gag level of 2.
I am only currently level 1.

But I should probably reach level 2 tomorrow :)
unless you wanted to send a message to me first.

[its_amelia_c]

Sorry I am pretty crap at all this stuff. I just come on and read questions and reply haha. No idea about all this numbers and stuff.

[AsunderingNova]

Thats okay! :)
I am 2xper now.

Just follow me, and ill send you a message.

accepting every part of who you are is a challenge but eventually YOU have to see yourself first! i’ve struggled with insecurities for as long as i can remember. i even had fake “friends” constantly trying to bring me down. at 20, i’m just now beginning to love myself for who i was made to be. its not an overnight thing.. taking the time to look at every part of yourself physically, mentally & emotionally is a process but in the end the journey will all be worth it!

[Telekinetic-Potato]

Face your fears and insecurities head on. The first step to solving any problem is accepting the situation you're in.

Work in yourself. Force yourself to ask the hard questions. What are your insecurities, why do you have them, are they for legitimate reasons or illegitimate ones? What can be changed?

Come up with a clear image in your head of what your situation is and work on fixing it.

Your progress will be slow but you will notice it and gain more confidence in yourself, simply from knowing yourself.

Prepare yourself for Relationship BY developing an employable skill set. Plumbers/Heat-Air/Electricians of mine making 150 hour easy. Summer class at tech-community college school…. Play around.
—computer and PHARMA seek Technical school trained rather than University for like supply chain etc…companies like Pfizer will not have to train you much because Community College/Tech school does that.
Lots of options

Don´t expect to suddenly disappear when you start working on it. Sometimes even if you think you overcome it it can come back. don´t give up, hold on and work on it :)
fingers crossed, you´ll do great :)

Cognitive and dialectical behavioral therapy would probably be the most effective but it is very costly.

I highly recommend it if you can fit it into your budget.

[Debris1]

I'm insecure when I worry about what people think. Then I ask, "Who am I that people would even care about what I do or say?"

[Nelis123451]

One thing I learned is step out of your comfort zone! When I was younger I was always afraid to try new things because I thought I couldn't do it. So 2 years ago I started with Boxing/kickboxing. Never been in a fight before and received my first punches there. But what I learned was I could handle it and just had to carry on training. I implied the same mindset in my life and really overcame a lot of insecurities!

[Jadethedream]

I am fighting though mine at moment. I have anxiety triggers could be out of nothing. Or little changes in someone behaviour. Can set me off. But I try to remin calm most of time. And not over recent on things. It’s feels like a battle at times

[Jay3344]

Have good people in your corner to help you get over them, not enablers but people who will help build confidence and also check your behavior. It’s a tough balance but if you find people that can help you grow right, cherish them.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Do what you are afraid of, always helps me overcome my fears and insecurities.

[Iron_Man]

Overcome adjust and adapt. Take a stand against your problems find solutions there’s always tomorrow don’t give up stay focused get after it complete the mission

[Avicenna]

no one can prevent you from becoming the person you want to be

[kitkatts]

First of all, you're totally normal and everyone struggles with this at some point. Take small steps, slowly being more confident in social settings. Confidence is a comfortable, strong sense of self.

[malwins]

The only way is to confront them and work through then

[Djaay]

How old are you? Just curious !

[Jltakk]

I still have these battles every single day.
