Hello SWFers.
I'm a rather anxious person... and I've always felt anxious and insecure about pretty much everything I do. I try not to show it on the outside, but I have that unending feeling at the bottom of my stomach...
The thing is, I KNOW that my insecurities and anxieties are irrational. I know I should ignore the feeling and just enjoy myself... but as the saying goes... "Easier said than done."
To provide a specific example, I'm insecure about my musical abilities. Currently I'm in a band, and most of the feedback has been positive... however... the few comments that tell me I suck or can't sing sink deep. I always need someone to reassure me that I am indeed a capable musician. Even this is usually not enough though... as I begin to doubt the compliments as mere nice statements made by close friends.
Anyway, I know I should ignore those and accept the compliments with a bit more confidence... though I'm having a hard time. I guess the vast majority of us have insecurities though, which usually appear totally rational to ourselves, and irrational to others.
So tell me... Do you have any insecurities? If so what? Thoughts on the issue?
