Why Are People Insecure?
The root cause of all insecurity is fear, and it’s shaped by our past experiences
Like any situation, overcoming insecurities can look different for each person.
Insecurity starts in the home, with your primary caretakers
We don’t know how to do something or because we don’t measure up to others
It is due to the relationship they have established to themselves
Narcissists are ironically some of the most insecure people you will meet.
It came from fears–mostly about the future
We are our own harshest critics

They seek it from the opposite sex, the general public and places that may not be as fulfilling, keeping that craving active and never really satisfied. In my book, A Child’s Memories of Cartoons & Murder, I talk about being a young child, watching my mother get dolled up to go out. She was a beauty. I enjoyed watching her change from one dress to another, shape her eyebrows and blot her lipstick to make sure that it’s not too thick. I would then cry and watch her walk out of the door, knowing that I would not see her until the next day if that. I grew up thinking that I was not worthy. My father not being around did not help at all. I had deep insecurities thinking that he may have been around if I was prettier if my skin was lighter if my hair was longer. It was not until far into my 30’s that I was able to grasp that I was not the problem and that I was enough.
