Develop clear lines of communication with your partner. This is the key to any type of trust. If you communicate that it makes you feel uncomfortable in any given situation by using I feel statements you are more likely to receive a positive response that will help the situation become healthier for both of you.

It can help to explore your insecurities. What thing(s) are you afraid of happening? Many insecurities can be best dealt with on your own through: journaling, self-soothing, positive self-talk, distractions, and taking actions to do positive things in your relationship (plan dates, write cute notes, cuddle, have a movie night, go for a walk together, things you enjoy). Sometimes though, our insecurities need to be addressed as a team. It helps to let your partner know what you are afraid of, what you have been doing or want to do on your own to help reassure and comfort yourself, and ways that you think they might be able to help. Your partner might be able to: hold you, tell you they love you, do nice things with you... Be wary though of asking your partner to stop doing things like seeing other people, talking to certain people, or doing things they enjoy. This might be useful in some situations, but it's typically best to try other solutions first.

It depends on the situation.
If you and your partner and treating each other well, yet you feel lesser or inferior to them, you should consider taking some time to yourself. No, that doesn't necessarily mean breaking up if you are happy with this person. But the first step to a healthy relationship is independent confidence.
If your partner is bringing you down emotionally and/or physically, find the strength to end it. It will be hard at first. You will want to sob. You will regret it. But then, looking back, you won't regret it. You'll smile and realize you did the right thing.
If you are happy with your relationship, you are confident, and your partner treats you well, there can still be other outside stressers like people who judge you as a couple or unapproving family members. Either overcome and learn to work past these negative comments or hear out those doubters because, if they are loved ones, their input may be more valuable than you think.

To me, everyone is probably insecure in a new relationship. But as time goes by, insecurity would decrease.

You need to work on yourself and realize that you are a great person to be with. Know that the person you are seeing is with you for a reason. Jealousy and insecurities ruin relationships

You have to start by working on yourself. Thats a problem you have that is coming out in the relationship you're in right now. Speaking from prior experience better yourself, and control your thoughts. We all get negative thoughts but we are stronger than our mind. The mind will always play tricks on you. Unless you have reasons for feeling insecure.

you can stop being insecure by having respect for yourself. Having respect for yourself, your body and your significant other will change things. You need to be able to voice your opinion and make sure the relationship is two ways, not just one person dictating on what happens.
