Insecurity
Tashfiq Bin Maksud
We all have faced several moments in our life where we question our motives and trust. Suddenly, the test isnt as easy as you thought it would be, a game where youre not as good as you used to be or even the ever-trusted face seems so unknown. When these doubtful thoughts come to play, nothing seems normal; rather, everything seems to be against you. You then have your back to the wall, not sure how to react or how to manage this unfamiliar phenomenon.
I would say the primary source of insecurity is fear. And completely natural because when you deeply care about something, you will eventually face the fear of losing it. For that, you will often think you are letting that feeling fade away so you either let it go; or work hard and push yourself. But even then, insecurity makes you doubt your capabilities and your efforts and trust. See, then this happens, you need to take a step back and look at the bigger picture.
Doubting yourself in the exam hall wont help. Think about all the effort you put on for it. Think about the pages you wrote, the books you finished and the friends and family who believes in you. So why give up now? Why lose fate? My scores arent good enough. There goes my dream University. Yes, your scores arent high enough but do they really describe your entire life? So get out there, pick up where you left things and keep moving forward! Lifes bigger than that.
You have been playing this game for years. You trust your skills and couldnt have asked for a better team. No matter the field, you play your heart out. But this match is different. Youre in a position where it all comes down to how you execute the game. The pressure brings fear and fear brings doubt. Think about all the time you practiced, tripped and fell and got back up again and the team that always has your back. So dont stop believing in yourself. Even if you do fall, failed to win and yet gave your all, youll have very little to regret.
You see the person so dear to you spending time with others and this gives you the fear of losing the person. Why are we becoming apart? Maybe he/she is not interested in me anymore? Maybe I am not as special as them to him/her? Take a step back and think about the times you two have spent which mean the world to you. Think about the time when the person was there and will always be there when you need him/her. So dont make a drastic decision owing to the insecurity. Rather battle it with compassion and trust. This will strengthen your bond even more. Dont lose faith this easy.
Insecurity is part of your progressive life that we have to face every now and then. But if you play your cards right and be calm, you can avoid unnecessary damage to our life and live a good one with the friends and family who truly believes in you. This is one of the sources of self-confidence and trust. Nurture it, let grow strong and nothing can take you down.
