Why Do We Feel Insecure

This is a very good question. Why do we? Well there are many reasons why. Lets see. It could be because of abuse. Or even if you have been sexually assaulted. Maybe you were raped or molested. These things would really make you feel insecure. It could come from a very bad marriage or abuse by your partner. Insecure means you don't feel good about yourself. That no one cares and sometimes you think no one will help you. You may feel there is no place to turn to. Or even if you were teased in school. Those names that the kids may have said to you. May have an effect on you. I know I was teased in school badly. Which made me not feel good about myself. They left emotionally scares on me. Some people become homeless or lose their job or even get a divorce. Which could result in this feeling. I was homeless for a year and a half. To be honest I felt a little insecure like no one cared. Unfortunately the feelings are still with me for life even though I have been out of the shelter for 4 yrs now. Plus the teasing I got in school from the kids. The name calling left an emotional scar on me..There were many times I was called stupid and retarded and more. It made me feel like I could not do anything in school. One of my friends told me. She got robbed. Someone broke into their house. She felt very insecure. That she felt open and vulnerable no one cared. So as you can see why we can feel like this. And the things that make us feel like this way. It's a horrible feeling to have. It can even ruin your life or even a relationship you might be in. I know form being in a shelter. It has kind of interfered with my relationship with my partner. So feeling insecure is not good. But only you can make a change. You are the only one who can overcome this. There is help out there if you need it. Don't be stubborn and embarrassed. It can happen to anyone.
