what do you do when you feel insecure

I would figure out why it scares you and do baby steps towards tackling what scares you about it. I’d talk to your parents about it too. It’s hard but at this very moment they are still with you so take this time to do what you can to better your situation right now. Surely there is something you can do.

I was really thrown off balance when I became single again in February. Ive made a concerted effort since then to reach out to friends and do new things. Ive used hypnotherapy to feel more self reliant again and I'm really watching the self talk as you can easily slip into a depressive state with someone telling you negative things every hour of the day. I think about what im grateful for and what i want rather than what i don't.

When the future feels overwhelming, meditation helps pull you out of that spiral. It’s like pressing pause on all the "what ifs" racing through your head. You just sit, breathe, and remind yourself — right now, I’m okay. It doesn’t fix everything, but it creates these small pockets of peace where you’re not battling your thoughts.

Over time, it helps you feel a little stronger, a little steadier. You start realizing that while you can’t control what’s coming, you can learn to handle what’s here. And honestly, that’s how you slowly build the resilience to face those fears

There are some great guided meditations on YouTube. davidji meditation channel is pretty decent.

Well, I'm 73 years old and I was going to post my true feelings about this but I decided not to because I just couldn't be bothered with dealing with all the venom that my post would have caused. Let's just say that my main worry is that I might come back to this world after I have died.
