Is it normal to feel this insecure?

77% Normal
7 Comments

My parents have occasionally slighted me in the way parents seem to do -- sometimes I'm not sure with what to trust them, but it worries me less and less since I've started college. My friends are loyal, but can be and have been annoyed with me for reasons of which I'm usually unaware -- but it's brief. However, I never have to worry about this with one of my best friends -- but our relationship is different because it's long-distance. I'm fine with my body, my appearance, and generally anything outward, but with my friends, family, and personal relationships, I tend to get nervous that they might turn their back on me suddenly or be talking behind my back. Is it normal to be somewhat insecure about many of these things?

    They and you may be letting go of the reins a bit now that you're older.
    You still need them though, so maybe just let them know that.

    I was reading about the teenage brain last night and how adolescents are developing and finding their place in society. As they try to see themselves as others see them, they get worried about it.

    When you get older - you won't care what anyone thinks about you.

    u know what it sounds like to me? Your self critizisim working overtime. When your young its normal to have some self doubt but not soooo much. You know what, they probably are at times talking about you...so what? That just means they are paying attention to what
    s going on in your life. Everyone has a right to their own opinion and they come to that always...but that doesnt define you and who you are. Its just an opinion...right? Work on your self worth and confidence and learn to believe in yourself. Only way to sucess is thru failure so make it lessons and play it out.

    Dude...that's not normal man. You need to dig deep within yourself.

    Or surround yourself with people who you can trust. If you have a trust problem, you gotta do something. I would say start with trying to find the One True God of Abraham.....just a thought.
