One day this random girl came up to me and decided to talk with me, she told me about how she felt and all of her insecurities were taking an advantage of her to become a target for people to bully her. I decided to become friends with her a week after our talk, she had always been by my side since we met. She ended up coming to my house almost everyday and we would have sleepovers when we could, and then one day I decided to tell her one of my biggest insecurities.

  • Insecurity

    926 Words  | 2 Pages

    “The task that we must set for ourselves is not to feel secure, but to tolerate insecurity” -Erich Fromm. Insecurity is a feeling of uncertainty or anxiety about oneself; it is a lack of confidence. In other words it’s the fear of not knowing what could be, or what will be in one’s life or in one’s self. Insecurities stop us from accepting new opportunities or relationships that could change our lives because of not being acquainted with the unknown. The unknown is a thought most people tend to overthink and analyze. An insecure person craves reassurance and demands to know the outcome of a situation even before it arises. A personal insecurity I used to have was not being accepted by family and society, in some aspects I still am. I’m not an introvert but I’m definitely not a party person. During my stay in England, attending several festivities that lasted hours, you can imagine I was not in my comfort zone. Never had I felt more insecure. Every day I was told to “go dance!” or “engage more!” but there was nothing more I wanted to do than go sightseeing instead. Everyone around me was having a blast dancing and interacting yet I was content with lounging around. In those moments I wished to be an extrovert so I could fit in with the others. I began to feel insecure with myself, dreading the next event, staying out of the limelight. For a year I avoided parties because I did not want anybody to think I was boring. Eventually I realized there is nothing wrong with not enjoying parties, it is just my personality. I do not have to follow the steps of my mother who is a social butterfly. The insecurity I had was a fear of not being accepted, but now I recognize I want society to accept me for whom I am, as cliché as it sounds. I...

    The class of 2015 had been working all year selling food at lunch and sports events and carrying out fundraisers. The first time I got an inkling that my friends would not be true friends was when we were planning the trip, we were choosing rooms for the trip and I asked my best friend, “Hey, we could room with each other on the trip!” To which she replied “Oh I’m staying with someone else and we can’t have 5 people in a 4 person room.”. When I asked where she thought I could stay she said “Well I don’t know.” I was torn, I had just been betrayed by my best friend, I had been treated like this before, but I just put up with it and somehow I had a feeling it would not be the last.
