How To Stop Being So Insecure
Truth is, you’ll never stop being insecure because there will always be something to be insecure about and it will never go away.
How can I face my problem when my problem is my face.
When I was thirteen, I didn’t think I would be insecure about my income, that was the farthest thing from my mind. I was focused on trying to be accepted and seen as someone worthy of attention.
At every phase of life, you would always have something to be insecure about because people would always have something better or worse than you do.
Insecurity is both inferiority and superiority, and if not properly understood and dealt with would end up ruining beautiful moments. A person with a superiority complex is just an inferior person who was dealt the upper hand in life.
The only way to stop insecurity is to let go of yourself, stop holding on too tightly. Stop obsessing over your weaknesses, reminding yourself over and over about who you think you are.
It is to base who you are in God.
Now I kind of struggled here because I couldn’t understand what that meant. What do you mean to stop seeing myself and see God, when I live with myself every waking hour and my weaknesses are ever before me?
Insecurity is a kind of Idolatry, it’s totally trusting your strengths (superiority) or magnifying your weaknesses (Inferiority) instead of relying on who God has said you are. You are placing the definition of who you are in something else other than your creator.
Jeremiah 2:13 New International Version (NIV)
“My people have committed two sins: They have forsaken me, the spring of living water, and have dug their own cisterns, broken cisterns that cannot hold water.
A great way to stop seeing yourself and start seeing who God has made you to be is:
- Pray about what you feel.
- Know what God’s word says about that situation and let the peace of God overwhelm you.
It’s a slow process but it is worth it in the end because you would learn to depend on someone much greater than yourself and I must say, there is so much comfort and peace in that.
I hope this finds you.
Till next time, Love and Light.
