Insecurities
 
Just a simple question that many may find difficult to answer.

Do you have any insecurities? If so, what are they?

Klippy February 23rd, 2010 8:16 AM

I'm pretty insecure about my confidence and being myself in public. I am usually afraid to embarrass myself for fear of what others may think about me. :/ I know that's pretty stupid, but I can't help it.

I am insecure about how I look. Despite not showing a caring attitude, I am extremely pessimistic... Well, in saying that, I am insecure about anything when I get overstressed. I turn paranoid easily...

i'm insecure about... my confidence. im not really the most confident person and i take criticism very strongly.. if theres something different about me that people don't like, i try to change that which is bad in my opinion.. in the end, i sometimes show people a "fake" side of me, which makes me mad at myself.. and im not depressed or anything aha.

I also try to act how I think people want me to act and I take most criticism to heart. It's because I'm too afraid to be myself and potentially get rejected. I'm not a risk taker.

I have an insecurity about whether or not people like me. I guess you can call it social paranoia; I get it in phases, couple times annually. It sucks. I'm in one right now. :D

I have phases of insecurity when it seems like my entire school hates me and wants to make life miserable. They pass quickly, though.

I also have a very slight ongoing insecurity regarding how I look, but it's negligible. I have no interest in attracting the opposite sex (or the same sex, for that matter), so it's no big deal.

But most of the time, I'm too safe within my shell of introversion to feel insecure about anything much.

I am very insecure about my weight an appearance. I try to balance that by attempting to show a tad more confidence, though...

Rokusasu February 24th, 2010 12:57 PM

How I look, how I talk, how others perceive me... I get insecure about relationships too, and about being a girl. =/

Anxiety. February 24th, 2010 1:06 PM

I'm insecure about how emotionally attached I get to people. I'm insecure about my looks. I'm insecure about my voice. I'm insecure about my strength. I'm insecure about my weight (too skinny, not too fat).

I'm just a very insecure person.

Saltare. February 24th, 2010 7:17 PM

I'm insecure about many things about myself.

End of discussion.

I'm very insecure about myself as well. As a younger kid I was always very self-confident and I never really cared what others thought about me.
I was like that for a while now, up until a certain event at my school [which even caused me to transfer schools for the 2nd time this semester] and it cause my self-esteem to drop like a rocket. I'm afraid of being made fun of and of people hating me. I have so many people who tell me that I'm awesome and that I shouldn't care, but really, it's all my online friends saying that. So I've actually distanced myself from people and kept myself from really making any new friends because I'm afraid that they're going to just make fun of me no matter what I do.
I mean I'm not afraid of doing things out in public like playing Pokemon or other video games, but when it comes to actually interacting with people I don't have the same confidence I had at the beginning of last year.

I'm also insecure about telling people who know me in real life about things that have hurt me recently. None of my real life friends know about what I went through a month ago, but every one of my friends on a forum [on which I've only actually met one person from there, and she lives over a hundred miles from me] know what happened.

I get insecure about my weight even though I'm hardly even overweight. It's just something that happens with me.

I'm also insecure about a lot of "talents" I have that people say I have, because I go through periods where I think I'm a terrible singer of guitar player or writer or artist or...I could go on forever. I wish I could feel good about myself the way that other people feel good about me. If that makes sense.

Her February 24th, 2010 8:15 PM

I'm insecure about a lot of things, ugh. Mostly my weight (skinny), looks and sexuality. I'm generally afraid of getting judged, so this increases my insecurity. It's a really stupid thing, I know. :/

Zelda February 24th, 2010 8:20 PM

I'm really insecure in having confidence. It is not like I let myself down, but when I have a high goal that will be a bit long and difficult to achieve, I tend to not believe in myself as I would with little easy-accomplishing goals. I lack in believing myself and I am just way too modest. When someone gives me a compliment I'd thank them but I wouldn't really think the same about myself sometimes. I'm also very shy and my New Years goal was actually to fix of all of these things. o_o I can see myself improving a little, but in time everything will be fine.

Other than that, I think I'm alright with everything else. I don't have to worry about being overweight but underweight for my age so I am quite the opposite. O_o;

Idiot! February 25th, 2010 7:48 AM

I am very insecure about my talents. I know I can do it, but chances are, I am not going to do it in front of someone. I don't feel very comfortable into letting the world know I can do this or that.

s0nido February 25th, 2010 12:55 PM

I seem to always worry about what people think about me and my actions, which is entirely unnecessary, seeing as I doubt I'll ever change.

Honest February 25th, 2010 5:06 PM

I am insecure about whether or not I fit in with the rest. Well, at least I was. Nowadays, I'm really insecure about whether or not my girlfriend is happy. : /

Sarah Paliner February 25th, 2010 5:39 PM

I'm a tad insecure about my weight and fat. I usually wear long sleeves and jeans that best cover up my whole body. ._.; As well, I'm insecure about what others think of my work, whether artistic or practical creations. I share my poetry with no one! >:'[

In a way, I'm also afraid about hurting other people's feelings. I tend to be a bit blunt and I rarely drag around the point. That's one of the many reasons why I don't talk much in real life.

mikey February 26th, 2010 3:49 PM

My insecurity is confidence. I have very low confidence. I don't really know why, but it's something that I am trying to work on.

Sebastien Loeb February 27th, 2010 4:08 AM

I am a bit pessimistic when I am comfortable in certain situations, I begin to have many insecurities.
