Insecure And Dealing With It

Introduction

We all have it, we all hide it and it kills us all.
That's what I think it is.
Though its pretty rare of us to talk about how tough it is to deal with something like Insecurities and Anxiety, I was pretty vocal about it to my friends and my family.
No doubt it helped me alot.
It helped me because now I knew that people would still be there for me inspite of all the shortcomings I had and would still love me for all the mistakes I ever commited.
But there are somethings that you will have to deal with by yourself.
No one is going to do the dirty laundry for you, is what they say.
Likewise my dirty laundry was the deep secrets that I told no one and that I never found closure to.
I forgot them over a period of time and never knew that they were still packed inside a box of cardboard called 'the next person'.
Now, let me be clear when I say that I am not an expert in this and am learning to deal with it.
Its just that I know its tough to go through it all alone. So, here I am sharing with someone my experience on how it affects me and how I deal with it.
I often find myself scrolling on Instagram or Pinterest just to find the perfect quote written by the most disturbed mind which is feeling the same emotion of helplessness and yet at the same time accepting that it is happening.
You don't fail when you accept that you are feeling helpless or insecure.
I learned it hard way but you fail when you know you are in deep trouble but still you don't accept it.
Acceptance is the first step to Move on.
You need to take the first step even though it seems awful and makes you feel like shit to feel all of this.
You need to accept it.
Accept it just the way it is.
And you will relieved to know that the moment you accept it half of the problem solves itself, may it be Anxiety, insecurities or overthinking.
So, I will be posting every now and then about how and what triggers my inner critical voice, also sharing some articles on those four things.
I hope someone finds this as helpful as I do.
