Secure your insecirities by sharing them

My biggest insecurity is that everybody on Lit hates me. Now I know some DO hate me, but deep down I feel that it actually that ALL on here hate me. Anytime that things dont go just as I expect I assume it because the hate is coming out.

I know first hand that I do not hate you at all.
Oh, Neak xxo.
 
Misunderstood? Dejected? Too damned needy? Try too hard? Over the top? Show off? How about those things...

I don't see most of those things in you 😊

Maybe misunderstood because not everyone can understand how awesome you are 🌹

Maybe a show off as well. But hey, if you have something nice to show off then show it off!! 😎
 
At first reading this thread I thought, "this is forum suicide!"
However I realise that this is releasing for some and also will help others if they see they aren't the only ones.

Ok so here goes.

My biggest insecurity is I'm convinced no-one likes me. Even people who state they are my friend, I'm convinced it's some sick joke. That everyone is in on except me.

It's a paranoia I have to fight daily. As such I always try to befriend everyone, this way I think the odds are maybe one person really does like me. The downside of this is I can appear to be creepy or clingy or in your face.

I often say, I don't know why they like me, I'm just me, I'm nothing special. I'm not fishing for compliments because I wouldn't believe you if you told me.

Now don't get me started on my personal body image.:(

This. I relate completely to this! Every single time I believe someone likes me, I get hurt. So now I find myself looking for reasons not to believe and trust people. I don’t even like myself.
 
I post my insecurities daily and no one wants to hear more, so I will just thank Hotwords and say that you all have my sympathy and my shoulder if needed.
 
Ever since I was little, I worry that if I call/text someone and I don’t hear back in a couple days that they’re either dead or I pissed them off. In actuality, it never has anything to do with me (and I’m shit for returning phone calls myself) and no one has ever died either (well, one person did, but that was long before I tried calling them anyway, so they were long gone).

Totally irrational. :D
 
I'm terrified by children. Not every child, but certain ones i don't know looking at me. Unfortunately, the collection of features that give me panic attacks, and probably nitemares are exactly the ones (Large eyes, forehead, small nose and mouth) normal people call cute.

I have no idea why, and that's what bothers me the most.

This is a great thread.

Next time it happens, stick your tongue out at them. :p
 
I did that until this one time, her father threatened to beat the crap out of me on the Taos Plaza for it.

Ah. Now I have a new insecurity. Wrathful fathers punching me for making faces at their sprogs.

[Eat pussy, it's organic!]

You ever wonder if Vegans can give blowjobs? I know Evangelicals believe they can't "Spill" it anywhere but the furrow, because they didn't keep reading after the Parable of the Sower where Jesus fucking explains all that in the Next Chapter, but what about Facials?

Is it vegan if you don't swallow?

(Also, everything edible is Organic except for Water, and Salt. Literally, chemically Organic. Biology is basically polymers of sugars in aqueous solution, with a pinch of salt. On the other end of the spectrum, we have Atkins Addicts that call Sugar a toxin. Glucose, the basic building block of all life as we know it is just about as toxic as water, or oxygen. In fact, too much oxygen can kill you a lot faster than Type 2 diabetes. You know what are toxic? Ketones. Ask your doctor if dietary advice from your friend's chiropractor is right for you?)

I cover my insecurities with intellectual analysis, and nerdy humor.

I can often say this about myself. I am trying to like myself and I know it will be a long road ahead. But it is hard to do when I seem to scare more away then keep. Hell. Even one of the ones singing praises of another was one of the ones to quickly dump me when someone better came along. Always something close by to remind me how disposable I can be.

Try to enjoy the time you have with them. Friends, lovers, acquaintances, and that guy you had a wonderful conversation on the bus with...

Happilly ever after is a nice story, but it never actually happens.

I say try to, because I know how hard that can be. Not only abandoning the idea that you're really a princess all along/Special Someone Syndrome, but also looking past your anxieties/insecurities to just enjoy the moments when they're nice.

"SHUT UP, BRAIN! Oh, and you, heart. Make with the warm fuzzies. This is nice." Sometimes, you just have to take charge.

You are sincerely liked by me!!!
 
That if I ever get asked out on a date I won't know how to act.
 
Thank you, everyone for this thread. I got a lot out of it, to write an insecure husband getting into bisexuality, and cuckhold fantasy, because of you.

"MWUA!" With your help, and a little luck. I might be able to finish, and upload it tonight. This is what i come here for.
 
Where to start?
I overthink.
Olympic gold level overthinker.
I question whether anyone will ever think I'm worth the effort.
That I'm too much. Whatever that means. Work mostly I think?
That I'm not pretty enough, smart enough, interesting enough.
Too fat, too thin, that my hair is stupid and my breasts too big for my frame.
That I'm short and not cute short but too short.
That my thighs are too big, I'm not young enough. I worry about things like the quirk of my eyebrow and the wrinkles I'm starting to see peek through even with good skin care.
I worry about the gray and the fact that my eyes are weird and change colors.
That I'm boring and dull and not exciting enough.
That I'm crazy and high maintenance and that I don't do naughty pictures and that I am terrible at flirting and lack the basic sexting skills of you average middleschooler these days.
That I want things that I can't even begin to put into words and that I question everything to the point of ridiculousness.
And that's just what I could come up with in the 2 minutes I gave myself to focus on this.
How's that?

You're perfect.

If I were gay
I would give you my heart
And if I were gay
You'd be my work of art
And if I were gay
We would swim in romance
But I'm not gay
So get your hand out of my pants

You want me bad. You totally know it.

Uh huh.

This is a place to talk about your insecurities, drag them out into the blazing hot sunlight, strip them naked and expose them for the little pathetic nothings that they really are.

Don't be afraid, tell us what scares you and make it a little less scary.

What scares me...time.

Time scares me because it seems to go at it's own pace.

One moment, it shows you your little girl who needs her dad all the time before you blink and she's all grown up.

Things like that scare me.
