Imagine this: You are about to enter high school. You are very excited to have a new experience entering your life until it suddenly hits you, people in high school are judgemental, all they care about is appearance. You quickly rush to the nearest mirror and take a look at yourself, you start to notice the imperfections about you like maybe your nose is too big or your butt is too small? You start to catch anxiety and suddenly you’re now not at all excited for high school. Do you want insecurities to take over your happiness? Well there are many ways to forget the flaws and look at the positives. Just remember that everyone has an insecurity even if they don’t know it because no one is perfect.

Appearance, what does that mean to you? Does it matter to you? Many people are very insecure about how they appear on the outside, they may think they have an ugly face or an ugly body, but should it really matter? Yeah you choose what you wear but you can’t change how you look because that is how you were made and I strongly believe god doesn’t make mistakes. I’ve always been told if that little insecurity of mine went away then I would be a perfect human being with a perfect body but that’s not how life works, everyone has some kind of insecurity so honestly don’t worry about it because you’re you and no one should tell you other wise. So tell yourself this, “I’m not perfect and that’s okay” because you know what? It is, because personality most definitely counts for more points than looks. Mainly I just want you guys to understand that, “you are not an image in your mind, you create them.” (pathwaytohappiness)

Relationships are hard not just with significant others but also with friends and family, I want to tell you ways to feel less insecure in your relationship. Okay I understand you’re scared your partner is cheating on you with someone else but from what I read, relationships should be based on trust and if you can’t trust your partner maybe it wasn’t meant to be. I also saw that many people feel as if they aren’t good enough for their partner but honestly if you think about it, why would they agree to be with you if you weren’t good enough for them? You can also feel insecure with family members like maybe everyone compares you to your cousin since she has better grades and stuff but from my experience it actually motivates me to prove them wrong. Relationship insecurities are hard but you need to find a way to forget about them even if it’s talking it out or proving them wrong. “Feeling of confidence and security means no self rejection ” (pathwaytohappiness)

Personality, I think that is what should matter the most but some people have insecurities about their personality like they may think they’re annoying or mean but I feel that the personality insecurities are what’s easier to get rid of but I don’t think you should. You are totally in control of your actions, you can act nice, mean, loud, quiet, it’s really up to you but if it’s not who you are then oh well the screw that insecurity and say this is who I am and it’s not gonna change. You should never change your personality for anyone!  Your personality is what makes you, you so don’t try to change anything because there’s nothing to be insecure about.

In conclusion, insecurities can be overcome with effort and a lot of confidence. So appearance should not matter because no one is perfect. Relationships can be fixed with trust but your personality insecurities shouldn’t matter because your personality is what makes you who you are, it’s what makes you unique. Don’t forget you’re great inside and out and you shouldn’t doubt yourself instead, love yourself!
