Most of us search for security everywhere, hoping that this will finally give us the sense of security and assurance that we need.
In reality, there is nothing outside of yourself that can give you the sense of security. If you can’t find it inside, chances are you will end up looking for it through other people.
How to know if you are insecure? Consider these signs:
• Insecure people usually ask for the approval of others before they act. They think that others know better what to do without realizing what they are capable of doing.
• When facing criticism, they often lose control and don’t think about their response, so they quickly fight back in retaliation to defend themselves.
• Making fun of others do much is also a mechanism of coping with insecurity. Insecure people are desperate for other people’s attention, which is achieved when they make them laugh. However, this can lead to insensitivity towards others feelings.
• They are always promoting themselves. They need the opinion of others for their actions.
How to get rid of insecurity?
1. Know yourself. There are many things that you can discover about yourself. You just can’t find the security inside because you don’t acknowledge your hidden skills and abilities. Everyone is exceptional - so are you! Acknowledge these gifts and utilize it for personal growth.
2. Be assertive, not aggressive. There is a big difference between assertion and aggression. Being overly aggressive is not really healthy because it could lead to destructive results. Unlike aggression, assertion involves respecting the right of others even while showing some levels of aggression.
3. Learn to accept criticism as it is part of personal growth. Rejection is unavoidable so your ego should be strong enough to endure it. Listen to others' opinion. You can’t fully grow if you keep avoiding the HURTFUL THINGS THAT ARE GOOD FOR YOU.
4. Know your purpose. Human beings are naturally purpose driven. If you know your purpose in life, then you will definitely do things out of happiness – not for happiness.
5. Be honest about your feelings. Honesty is the bedrock foundation of a strong relationship. Being real and open of what you feel may be intimidating for some people, but it can really help you build a safer relationship with others.
6. Lastly, check your progress and deliberately monitor yourself. When achieving personal growth, it is necessary for you to check your progress and purposely monitor yourself. Doing so can keep you from going back to the same “OLD YOU.” When you step in the front door of self-improvement, promise yourself that you won’t step back again.

THANK YOU... I SHOULD CHANGE INDEED.
Goals do not equal purpose in life. I need to separate those. Hah, didn't think I'd find the answer to my problem on a blog. God certainly does answer prayer when your heart is in the right place. Oh wow, just learned something else! Thanks for the post. God bless.
