I was insecure about a lot up until about my last year of college. I didn’t really overcome anything directly, but I did find a few things I could be proud of. I was able to look at myself and say I had a few things going for me, and so I began to like myself as a person, which I hadn’t been able to say before. I still have most of the stuff I’m insecure about but it just doesn’t affect me because I focus on the things I’m proud of.
Once you achieve that inner confidence, I believe it will display itself for others too, and you’ll feel like less people notice or think about the things you’re insecure about.
I’ve been feeling like it’s been getting better, not worse. But maybe I’m not engaging in the posts where my thoughts are seen as controversial anymore.
