Insecurity

Insecurity is a bad thing. It makes you doubt everything. It makes you paranoid and uncomfortable. You look around and you feel like everyone’s staring at you. You hear a snicker and conclude they must be laughing at you. You read a comment and swear the person had you in mind when writing it. You obsess about it until you can think of absolutely nothing else.

You don’t even stop to ponder how self-involved you are to imagine that people have nothing better to do. People spend a lot less time thinking about you than you think they do. Next time, you find yourself worrying about how someone is directing a comment at you, try to refocus your perspective.
