Insecurity
It drives us to exaggerate our claims, while hiding our failures
It highlights the painful moments, while syphoning off the blessings
It causes us to interpret even the simplest of questions as an attack
It conjures images of inevitable rejection
Insecurity
It compels us to manipulate in the fear our needs will go unmet
It keeps us wrestling for a seat that already had our name on it
It pushes us to be someone we’re not in the belief that no one could love us as we truly are
It makes us feel as though people are judging us when we’re actually judging ourselves
Insecurity
It encourages us to wonder who the author was thinking of when he wrote this
