Insecurity fabricates stories that are not necessarily true but are thoroughly convinced about them. Because it makes sense to be the center of it all when you feel under threat.
The one who tells the story is already convinced of what she gets to say. Is there anybody who has the heart to share something they personally don’t believe in?
We all tell ourselves stories.
But never let your insecurity do the talking. Because it might persuade you with lies.
And when you are not quick enough to run from its lies, you might fall down on its snare. Where you begin to spreading stories (mostly lies) to justify your insecurity (out of fear of becoming the laughing stock). Even if it doesn’t make sense to you, you still hold on to your insecurity, like a sense of self-preservation. Even if you are actually gnawing from the inside, you find the guts to tear people down to make your story real. A sense of self-preservation gone wrong.
Next thing you know, you are on a downward spiral in your sense of self and perception of others.
Where everyone becomes the villain, and you, the victim.
