I've come to learn that life is a revolving door, just as people walked into mine. They can walk back out. So after a breakup i just tell myself that if it were meant to, then it will be. If it doesn't work then he's not what God intended for me to have.
The meaning of insecure is feeling like you're not good enough. And always wondering what other people's opinions are of you, when yours is actually the only one that matters.

Being too insecure means you are risking too much. Being not secure with yourself and your own actions does that after any emotional ties.
Insecurity often leads to challenges in relationships and personal well-being. When someone lacks confidence in themselves, it can significantly impact their emotional ties with others.
The Impact of Insecurity
Emotional Vulnerability
Insecure individuals may constantly seek validation from others, which can strain relationships. This constant need for reassurance can lead to feeling overwhelmed and unfulfilled.
Fear of Rejection
Insecurity can cause a fear of being judged or rejected, making it harder to form deep connections. This fear often leads to avoidance of situations where one might feel exposed or vulnerable.
Self-Sabotage
Insecurity might result in self-sabotaging behaviors. People may push others away or hesitate to pursue opportunities due to a lack of belief in their worth.
Building Self-Confidence
Awareness
Recognizing the sources of insecurity is the first step to overcoming it. Understanding past experiences or negative self-talk can help address these feelings.
Positive Affirmations
Engaging in positive self-talk and affirmations can gradually change negative beliefs about oneself. This practice fosters a more secure self-image.
Seeking Support
Talking to friends, family, or mental health professionals can provide perspective and encouragement. Sometimes, an outside viewpoint helps highlight strengths that may be overlooked.
Addressing insecurity is crucial for developing healthier relationships and a more fulfilling life. Recognizing and working on these feelings can lead to a more secure and confident version of oneself.

Invariably found myself to be a better, wiser, person for having known them.
Not sure about the insecurity thing. Haven't felt that for a while.

I remembered who I was before the relationship started. I imagined what life would be if I never met them. It took time.
Being 'too insecure'? I dunno. You're either insecure or you're not, imo

Heartache brought me to my knees so I’d become secure, not insecure.
Love teaches us what to be and not what we believe we are.

Ending the relationship catapulted me into security.

The woman I thought I would marry dumped me for my best friend 53 years ago. I've never gotten over it. I don't trust anyone, male or female.

I basically broke down as a person. It took time for the parts to acrete into something resembling a human being again. Too insecure? I'm not insecure enough.
