How can you avoid insecurity?

Insecurity knocks on every person, boy or girl. This is usually the feeling of someone who thinks that someone is better than him or her in a certain aspect and feels bad about it. I can see this mostly with girls because when they see someone better than them, they will easily dislike the other girl even though they didn't do anything wrong. How can you avoid this bad character?

hey intelpink, simply dont compare yourself to anyone so that you wont feel any pity on yourself! and remember everyone is unique so whatever good asset you have right now, other people dont have it!

Hi intelpink! For me, the best way to avoid insecurity is to never compare yourself with others because if you do, there will always be someone greater than you and you will end up unhappy with what you have. Learn to love the good things about yourself. Always look at what is good about you. Always count your blessings and be thankful for them. Be happy with what you have because what you have, others do not always have. We are all unique and different so there is really no need to compare yourself with others. Love yourself more. Remember that you are one of God's beautiful creation.

we can avoid this by just being ignorant. ignore the person, problem solved. but the thing is we get stuck to the person like thinking about the person s capabilities, looks, etc.. right? then what happens is our minds tend to whirl deeper into that thinking -- whoah, everybody looks at him not me!, what if my gf gets to see him? will she dump me? would she rather sleep with him? -- then we look at ourselves and feel down about it. right? then we start to get angry about it but we feel helpless cuz this person looks better, stronger, more charismatic, everybody loves him, blah blah blah... right?? you know what s the right thing to do? SNAP OUT OF IT! i just described a process we do in OUR MINDS. these things are all in the head. yes up there. we are the ones doing the insecurity to ourselves, not them. so the next time you feel insecure, recognize the situation, then snap out of it. breathe...

Insecurity is a natural feeling but what is not natural when you do something with our insecurities. I passed that stage of my life where I get so insecure of other girls, to the point of not going out with them. Then such time, I was in a group, there I realized that we can't satisfy ourselves with things. All we need to do is to be contented and think that if you don't have what she has, for sure you also have something that she doesn't have. Life is not unfair, it's just that, it's not uniformed. And God is perfect, HE made things with purpose. Imagine all the girls being sexy and Richie. I think, life would be so dull.=)

A feeling of insecurity can be traced down to a childhood experience or peer contribution. Sometimes it is difficult to let go of this inappropriate behavior. But is a person is determined not to let this behavior overwhelm his/her personality then he/she could overcome it. For me I believe that if a person has strong faith in the Lord and accepts that he/she is a unique creation of God, he/she could draw strength from this and overcome the appropriate behavior.

it is natural with a girl to feel insecured to those who are more prettier or sexier than them. sometimes i feel it too but im thinking that beauty is skin deep. the problem with me is i dont have a lots of confidence though they say that im pretty. now i had a lots of concidence after realizing that we are all beautiful in our own ways. one more thing beauty is in the eye of the beholder. if you think that you feel insecure you should not be just think that you are the most beautiful girl in the world and always keep a smile.
