INSECURITIES

Insecurities: uncertainty or anxiety about oneself; lack of confidence.

The state of being open to damage or threat; lack of protection.

If you are thinking that I googled the meaning of insecurity then you are absolutely right. Not because I didn’t know the meaning but I was having a hard time myself while thinking how am I supposed to explain this concept, how am I supposed to write about a thing we are so afraid to talk about, so afraid to confront about, we are so scared about our insecurities, that talking about insecurities is one of the biggest insecurity.

Insecurities are that part of our heart which we are scared to touch but we are too open to feel It and that too almost every day.

Do you remember the time you saw someone a little better than you in the skills that you possess?

How in a span of merely two minutes your confidence dropped low. That terrible feeling of considering ourself low, thinking that we are not good at what we thought we were best at.That’s insecurity.

The feeling of losing a person by just thinking that we aren’t good enough. That’s insecurity. I highly doubt that there would be even one person in this world who isn’t insecure at all. Be it a baby who doesn’t like to share its mothers lap. Be it our grand parents who feel insecure about their children leaving them stranded in an old age orphanage. The richest man is also insecure about his business and competition, the political leaders are insecure about their position. And we, you and me, have our very own insecurities.

Isn’t it amusing, that we keep owning our insecurities but we can barely hold onto appreciations and love. 

We are so drowned in our insecurities that we forget the water is only knee deep, we forget that we can still walk, that this isn’t an ocean, it’s a swimming pool, and the shore isn’t far away its merely just 10 steps away. We think that our legs are glued to the floor, where in reality they aren’t. we think we are less, but we are not, its the insecurity that is pulling us down.

If only we start believing in ourselves a little more, think about all the reasons that is making us Insecure and reach to the core and start finding a solution to it, we can actually reduce our insecurities. If its 90 try to bring it at 75 and slowly to 50 and keep reducing it, till the time you realise and face a situation where you would usually get insecure in and see the difference.

Insecurity a word which is so strong, that brings goosebumps and shivers all over our body. Nothing can hold this power unless we give it so.

Never give someone the power to shake you from the core, the more you let go, the more they’ll haunt you and start eating you from inside.

Don’t stop, win this battle and overcome your insecurities and see the world, and realise how different it is, and how different it can be.
