Insecurity is something most people have witnessed at some point in their lives. Insecurity is the act of feeling inferior to everyone else, or frankly unconfident of oneself. A variety of people around me are able to mettle with this issue, but a small percentage aren’t.

Another negative thought(s) I find myself having often is not being good enough. This is something that I usually find myself thinking a lot about after an altercation or disagreement with someone.

Doubt is something that can affect an entire future. Sometimes people tell others “you will never be able to do that, or be that, etc.” Those words can cut like a knife.
