Insecurity – Understanding Self-Doubt & Building Inner Stability
Insecurity is a persistent feeling of uncertainty, inadequacy, or fear of not being “enough.” It can affect how you see yourself, how you interact with others, and how confidently you move through life.
While occasional self-doubt is normal, ongoing insecurity can create anxiety, comparison, jealousy, overthinking, and difficulty trusting yourself or others.
The good news is that insecurity is not a permanent trait — it is often rooted in experiences and beliefs that can be understood and reshaped.
🌿 What Causes Insecurity?
Insecurity may develop due to:
-
Past criticism or rejection
-
Negative childhood experiences
-
Comparison with others
-
Relationship betrayals
-
Social or performance pressure
-
Unrealistic standards or perfectionism
-
Low self-esteem
Over time, repeated experiences can form internal narratives that weaken self-belief.
