We talk with plenty of people here at Scarleteen who are struggling with insecurity around their bodies and relationships. Insecurity can be a hard creature to shake, and most of us will never get rid of it completely. Which got me thinking: how do you manage insecurity when it pops up in your life?
One thing that helps me is a phrase, attributed to Thomas Edison, that goes, "I have discovered a hundred ways not to make a light bulb." It helps me remember that mistakes and imperfections are part of life, and not something to be ashamed of.
How do you deal with insecurity?
