    insecurities! everybody has them, even if they're not always there and readily apparent.

    when it comes to myself, for the most part i'd say i'm kinda confident. i know i'm at the very least a really accepting person who doesn't act like an arse for no good reason and who can be pretty caring when it's needed. there are people who look up to me, and i can't think of one person who dislikes me for something reasonable. (the people who dislike me either do so because of what i like or for even more ridiculous reasons.) i get complemented quite a bit by girls, respectable ones at that, so i'm pretty confident appearance wise too. it's only when i start comparing myself to other guys that i really start to feel insecure.

    like, sure, i'm apparently cute and sweet in the eyes of a lot of girls i know, but what if that's not good enough? i'm not really that funny, i lack talents, and really, i don't see myself as being anything really standout. i just get afraid no girls are ever gonna properly love me, because whenever i meet someone who i really like and could see myself working with who feels that way about me, they just move onto somebody who's all the things i'm not. i try telling myself and others like me that there's somebody for everyone and that we just have to keep going, but at this point i'm honestly starting to just say that to keep other people from becoming miserable.

    so... yeah. what are you insecure about.

    I'm very insecure about my body. I'm not the skinniest girl around and it's really hard for me to look in the mirror. I feel fat and it's not fun to think about. However, even if I'm insecure about it, I'm trying to "fix" it. I'm trying to view my body in a more positive light. It's tough, but don't let insecurities get to you. Focus on your other strengths and try to minimize your insecurities by fixing them in a way.

    I know I'm a good writer, because I'm constantly told such. And yet, everytime I get a reply, comment, review, et cetera, I'm always afraid it will be something overly negative. I'm fine with constructive criticism, but I've had a few destructive comments, and that's pretty much shattered my confidence right there.

    ...And it's not like I've got a whole lot of that outside my writing in terms of feedback, suggestions and such.

    Ooh, I've got a lot, even when I made a promise to myself long ago that I'll have none. I'll feel slightly better if I let them out, but I must save this foe threads such as the Venting Thread. One I can say is that I feel like my art is terrible. I am such a terrible artist! Even though people always compliment my artworks and I, humbly, say that I am good at art, when I compare my art to my sister's, I feel like a bad drawing myself and must be thrown in the art dump. I guess this was a light way to put things, yes?

    Well, i feel insecure about my studies. Its not like that i am bad in studies but my friends are way too good than me. Everyone says that its okay you are a intelligent girl but everyone knows about themselves and how they are. I know that i am not good but i try to improve my records. Though i am insecure about my studies i have enough confidence that i can do better if i try harder and thats the thing that encourages me.

    I admit I feel some insecurity about my body. I'm a total beanpole: just over six feet tall and with long limbs to match, but I don't have much bodyfat or muscle mass, so those two traits combine to make an unflattering picture. I have other ways to make up for that shortcoming: I have a way with words and a face that is (at least somewhat) attractive, I'm funny and smart with a classy sense on style, and have a surprising variety of skills and and knowledge in many subject matters. If I could pack on some more muscle, though? I'd be a mortal god, a man to be reckoned with, and even more magnetic to individuals of all sexes.

    Honestly it'd be easier to ask what I'm not insecure about, because that's a lot less lol

    About the only thing I'm not insecure about is my eyes, they work well, everything else is shit.
