Q: When you feel insecure, it doesn't help when you surround yourself with people who make you feel more insecure. Instead, spend time with friends and family who make you feel good about yourself. These people are supportive no matter what, and they don't put conditions on your relationship. It can be helpful to talk with a mental health professional about your insecurities. This person can help you uncover reasons for your insecurities. He or she can also suggest strategies for coping with your insecurities. Find a therapist who specializes in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). This type of therapy addresses your patterns of thought, which therefore will improve how a person feels and behaves. When you are enjoying yourself, you become less aware of your insecurities and more focused on your happiness. Find activities that are pleasing and fun for you. This might be a sport like surfing or skateboarding, or it might be a hobby like woodworking or bird-watching. You can create a safe space for yourself where you know that you'll feel relief from your insecurities when you do this activity. If you can find people to join you in these activities, this might help you overcome some insecurities.
