refers to the fear and insecurities in
our mind. Write a composition describing

Sometimes myself deal with insecurities even people will say “youre good” or “you have nothing to worry about i still do”. I recognize insecurity is apart of me and everyone else deals with it. I try to do is look or associate with people w/ insecurity who are trying to get lowered and not prolong its staying. Which helps me try to get rid of mine.
Going to one of the things you said “do things to please others” I kind of do this also cause I feel im more “interesting” that way but if I keep doing this I realize it prolongs my insecurity and makes me predicable so, when I hang out with my friends and if I do anything I make sure I do it if its 100% of me and my intent; not to please others. Cause I realized people are not fully satisfied with anything and expect more; also it makes feel like static person like flat like I dont have dimensions or not complex. If i go off peoples opinion of me then i’ll really never feel complete with myself because i’ll always be asking others and the information would not corelate because everyone is not the same.
Also for envy for others I think everyone has been thru it. Someone has wished to be thicker the other wished to thin, older wants to be younger, and etc. We all have to come to terms that we will not suddenly wake up with a killer body or higher Iq we just have to deal with it and make it work. You cant just practice not comparing youself with others because there will always be someone you wished you looked like or etc. You could try stating affirmations about yourself in the mirror and with confidence or leave stick notes in places were its says postive things.
The “mistrust” your always going to go thru that but you have to give your trust to people who have already proved theirself worthy. If their intentions were bad then cut them off and find someone worthy of your trust. I know its hard to give people your trust but you have to give them your trust to see if they are actually trustworthy and worth your time. If you stay between the fence youll never know if they were ever worth time and could possibly push away a great person.
“Sticking to things that are comfortable” this a more diy but how you do it is important. You can take a small step then build from that small step. For example where ever you go wether work, school, place of worship, hangout, in a line(somewhere), or something social say good afternoon or ask how was there day. Try to engage with others you dont have to ask full on personal questions but you know general questions or something like that.
Now with perfection this one really struct something in me because I am in a household where I need to be near it. But it seems what you trying to do to make it better is good. One more when you try to something perfect i have also realized when i do hours of something trying to perfect it no help or anything it is as if to that person its “alright” which angers me, but then i realize i need to be mad with me then because they didnt ask for perfection they just asked me to do whatever it is. So i hope this help please message me if you have any more questions on it or if a part doesnt make sense. Or if you need someone to talk to.
i think it will help you
