Well, that's a very vague question :) What makes you feel insecure? If it's your partner, then you'll have to rethink the whole relationship! Relationship is about being relational- hopefully, positively relational. But that's not always the case, is it? It's a struggle to love yourself if the one you love makes you feel incompetent. If your partner doesn't treat you amazingly, for no reason at all, then leave the relationship. If it does not make you happy, simply leave. If it's an issue with yourself, well, maybe work yourself out first before getting in a relationship. Loving yourself may look daunting for now, but believe me, it's even harder to love when you cannot even love yourself :) Looking for a positive relationship? Just leave me a message :)

Insecurity in a relationship can be a sign of uncomfort within a relationship. You could always approach your partner about how you feel and try to work from that point onwards.

In my experience, we all have insecurities about something. When I feel insecure about a relationship, I typically take a few minutes to journal what specifically is causing my feeling insecure. Most of the time, initially I find that the insecurity is pointed at my partner, and after journaling for a while, I find out the real reason behind my feeling. Sometimes it's because I haven't done enough to take care of my own needs. Sometimes it's because of a past relationship that was toxic. The good news is, I can typically get what I need by going for a walk outside, reading a book, talking with a friend, or another trusted advisor. The key for me to help lessen my feeling of insecurity is to take personal inventory of what it is I need, remind myself that I'm not in a toxic relationship, and not blame or punish my partner in any way for my own feelings.

Sometimes accepting we are not perfect and that we all have flaws or things to improve can make us feel less insecure. We can’t possibly know what to do at all times, or what to say, or how to react. Life is a constant learning process! Just be yourself and enjoy the ride!

By dumping that person and saying goodbye because it is NOT okay that someone makes you feel insecure or upset. You should feel happy and comfortable and know that this person will always be there for you.

Insecurity tends to go away when you spend more time with one another. The more you know about one another, the more flaws you learn about and then you feel more comfortable with your own flaws.

An insecurity in a relationship is rooted in an insecurity with oneself; if you are not a happy person, being in a relationship offers hollow happiness. It's like eating junk food when you are hungry, you will be full for a little bit but soon you are hungry again. Being happy with who you are is like eating protein; you are full for a long time. I know that when I am insecure with myself, being in a relationship will only flesh those insecurities out into the surface.

What do you think a RELATIONSHIP is all about? Don't you think TRUST plays a vital role.The reason for insecurity is the lack of trust on other person which might hamper your realtions.You don't want your partner to call you always n at anytime that might become a frustration after repetitive steps. All you have to do is be realistic and try to see the actual sight of love in the partner's actions as well as thoughts.Share appropriate amount of feelings with your partner and explain him the "insecurity " you go through when he/she talks with another person of opposite sex.Am sure both will be having the same problems as it's a part of human psychology......This is how you should maintain your relationships....There should not be even a slight of insecurity when he/she checks your Mobile phone whether you are doing smthng that the partner has in mind. .. Be it open minded
