Feeling insecure sucks, and the
worst part is that it makes you beat yourself up and question your confidence.
Jumia Travel, the leading online travel agency, shares four things to tell
yourself when feeling insecure.
It’s Ok
This might be hard for many to believe,
but it’s okay to feel insecure sometimes. Don’t magnify the fact that you are
feeling insecure and let it overwhelm you. Being insecure sometimes, just makes
you human. Accepting this will be more productive to you than beating yourself
up and making yourself feel like trash for feeling a perfectly normal human
emotion.
Everyone has one
Even the most confident people
have insecurities too, there is no one that’s free of it. Please avoid berating
yourself for sometimes feeling insecure, there is no human on earth that is
immune to insecurity, so get over it and deal with it. Knowing everyone has one
insecurity or the other might not get rid of your feeling of insecurity, but it
sure can help prevent you from beating yourself up for something that you
really don’t need to beat yourself up about.
I feel insecure and be confident
Feeling insecure about something
is like having an achilles heel. Achilles was a great warrior whose weakness
was his heel (hence the name Achilles heel). Now, the fact that achilles had
that weakness didn’t negate the fact that he was a brave and great warrior. Do
you understand now? Having certain insecurities or feeling insecure doesn’t
negate your confidence. What negates your confidence is refusing to deal with
the insecurities and letting them either overwhelm you or dictate your actions.
Deal with it
You know feelings can be tricky,
and sometimes if you find yourself feeling insecure about things that are just
plain silly to you, you can actually ignore the fact that you feel insecure,
dismiss it for the irrelevance that it is and move on. It’s honestly as simple
as that. On the other hand, if your feelings of insecurity are founded and
there is actually a reason for it, then proceed to deal with it. Understand why
the insecurities exist, dispel the lies beneath them and make a decision to
stand up to them. You can also try to avoid the triggers of your insecurities,
if you can.
