26/40 [about insecurities] I was not too bright a student when I first started school but the culture only focused on the top three students. I grew up not too handsome and charming but the girls I liked happened to look at the good-looking boys who made them laugh. Throughout my school life I didn't have the courage to speak in front of the class. These experiences further pushed me into the world of solitude, reflections, observations, and the grand world of insecurities. I still get nervous when talking with some stranger(s). I get uncomfortable looking at their eyes thinking they'll judge me and find me thin, dark, mumbling, aloof, uncertain, and boring! A comment made heedlessly about my skin colour can make me fall into the loop of never ending flashbacks. A simple rejection has the power to flip the world around. It grows deeper when there is this beautiful society that discriminates people on the basis of caste and religion and so many things and millions suffer because of it. In a nutshell, anything and everything can make you feel insecure if you're prone to the effects from the outside. So how do you deal with insecurities? Well, you must question your own beliefs about yourself! An incident that happened six years ago should not determine your views about yourself. If you're making assumptions about yourself based on few incidents you are the most judgemental person in your life. When it comes to the people and society, well, they don't know a thing about you! They don't know what you've been through in your life. They don't know what makes you you. Actually, they don't even know what the hell they're saying! So if you believe them blindly you're headed for more of the sleepless nights. I would believe the people who have judged me if they were perfect. I would have believed my own limiting thoughts if I knew I made accurate conclusions all the time. The thing is, conclusions make us suffer more than the judgements. I know I have felt insecure many times in my life but it doesn't determine who I am right now. I still feel down and weak many times. In fact 2021 has been a year of an intense duel with my mind firing insecurities of all kind at me. It tries to throw the past incidents on my face. It projects unpleasant situations, awkward moments and all the times where I've messed up awesome. Sometimes I end up feeling insecure about many things but I don't end up twisting and turning on the bed. Sleep is too precious, you see.
