Most of us, at some point in our lives, have experienced insecurity for one reason or another.  Self-doubt and insecurity are powerful emotions, and if you aren’t careful, they can eat away at you, envelop you, and make life pretty darned miserable.  One thing we need to know about insecurity is the fact that we can feel insecure in our relationships,  our bodies and our appearances, and we can feel insecure about ourselves in general.

Whenever we feel insecure, it doesn’t matter what is causing it, the simple fact of the matter is that at that specific moment in time, we are never able to fully trust and appreciate ourselves or live in the moment. Feeling insecure is like feeling that you are never good enough, and not being able to relax and let your guard down fully. People dealing with insecurity often find that this acts as a precursor for more serious mental health issues and disorders such as anxiety, stress, or depression.
