How can I stop being insecure?

Self-confidence is key. Pick out the things you like about yourself, and then look at the stuff you don't like. Find ways to improve those things, and you're good. Most importantly, make yourself happy.

insecurity arises when there is lack of awareness...insecurity is beautiful because insecurity is life...trying to make things permanent in this temporary world is a waste act...enjoy the beauty and adventure of life...!

Be yourself do not care what people think do what you want wear what you want eat what you want because in the end doesn't matter what you say or do people in this world will always judge it's the sad reality. Be confident within yourself do what you feel is right don't ask anyone's opinions just live life and be free :)

Sometimes forcing yourself to attend events can result in greater self-confidence. Saying 'yes' to all opportunities that cross your path is a fantastic way to help yourself grow. It's a hard and lengthy process, but change is never easy anyway.

Insecurity is tough to defeat, especially when you've grown up with the idea to always seek for the approval of others before you approve it yourself. We got used to be dependent on others' point of view and base so many of our contentment and self-acceptance on what society would think, which by the way consists mostly of strangers, people who we don't know and people who don't know us back, but somehow we convince ourselves that it matters what they will say. You cant easily brush off insecurity. You deal with it. You're going to have to take some hits along the way, but only to come out of it stronger and a new person. Insecurities makes us feel ashamed of what others may call 'flaws'. But these are features that make up who we are. and we shouldn't be ashamed of it at all. Our features are a part of us. Something we should accept. Being kind to ourselves is important also. The key to battling insecurities, is acceptance, dealing with the truth, the facts, facing it head on. Accept yourself. Deal with it. Remember that you don't have to wait for anyone to love and accept you, before you do the same for yourself. Be patient with yourself. Let yourself grow.

Start taking small action steps. Start feeling the fear and doing it anyway in small things. Ask for help and strength from you higher power (who or whatever that may be). Taking action is the first step in starting to live in a state of power. And begin a practice of confronting everything. Don't put anything on hold. Confront everything as it comes no matter how insecure you feel. Start by taking the 24 hour confrontation challenge and see how far it goes. I have found when I make change something fun it takes a lot of the immobilizing fear away.

Look at yourself in the mirror every day and tell yourself that you’re beautiful. At first you might have to make yourself do this but if you do this daily you will start to notice that your self esteem is improving.

Stop letting yourself believe you're not worth anything. Even if you have to force yourself to say it, say, "people love me because I'm awesome". It probably won't work the first time, or the second time, or the third time, but the more and more you say things like that to yourself, the more your brain starts to believe it. Say nice things about your body. Think nice things about how you act. Try to say (or think) one thing you love about yourself before you go to school or work each morning. The more to appreciate who you are, the less insecure you'll be.

First identify what makes you feel this way, be sure about the cause... right the things that make you feel vulnerable, And then work on coping it. If its someone who makes you feel that way, if possible stay away or avoid. tell them which of their habit makes you feel this way. On a personal level, make small changes.Involve in some activities, write good things, keep a journal or anything that makes you feel good. Remember, no one can make u secure or insecure, it's us letting. It happens to me too. I try to do everything I shared. Sometimes it works and sometime it doesnt. So its ok. If it feels like a burden, reach out for help. I hope you feel stronger soon.
