[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you tried meds? Sounds more like anxiety than insecurity.

I used to be very very insecure. I'm not sure exactly what changed, I just stopped GAF I guess. I like to think it gets easier as you get older, but I know that doesnt apply to everyone. [/quote]

Yes, and been treated for anxiety. I have also done a lot of therapy for it and am great at recognizing anxious though processes and can even work through them to not spiral or make bad decisions out of anxiety.

But I am still in mental discomfort and engage in negative self talk basically all the time. Like I've learned how not to let my insecurity/anxiety rule my life, but I still feel deeply insecure and have a lot of self-loathing.

My therapist always encouraged me to take pride in how hard I've worked and all the self-knowledge and self-control I have. And I'll nod and agree but then in the back of my mind think "if I weren't such a messy loser, maybe I wouldn't have to work so hard just to be functional." Like I KNOW that thought is unhelpful, but it's never not there.[/quote]
