How to Fight Sense of Insecurity In love? - Getting Closer to God's Voice 1985

“What ruins relationships and causes most fights is insecurity” — Olivia Wilde

 

Insecurity is an inner feeling of being threatened and/or inadequate in some way. We’ve all felt it at one time or another. But while it’s quite normal to have feelings of self-doubt once in a while, chronic insecurity can sabotage your success in life and can be particularly damaging to your intimate relationships. Chronic insecurity robs you of your peace and prevents you from being able to engage with your partner in a relaxed and authentic way.

Persistent unreasonable insecurity would erode trust and intimacy in relationships, which would push a partner away.

 

Insecurity might root from some old trauma of self-denial or even self-hatred. The insecurity comes from inside selves. Anyone who suffers from intense insecurity might be deeply hurt or rejected by someone he cares about or even a stranger.

When a person fails to value himself, they can be easily affected and wounded by anyone’s offensive remarks. 

As you negatively value yourself, you make yourself vulnerable and weak. Nobody can exempt from unjustified and offensive reckless judgments. That’s a harsh truth. 

Oftentimes, a person of low self-esteem would be trapped by irrational fears and self-loathing. As you are the one who believes that you are not good enough, you are doing yourself harm without awareness.  It will put you in a vulnerable state that you might fail to get out of a toxic abusive relationship and get stuck in an unhealthy relationship for a lifetime or so. 

You have to believe that you are deserved to be loved.

 

 

There are a few things you can do:

1. Figure out your weakness and envision what you desire to become for the next ten years and work on it. 

When you feel insecure, you are often focused on something you feel is lacking about you. In most well-matched relationships, each partner brings different qualities and strengths that complement the other.

In order to feel more secure in a relationship, it helps to know what you have to offer to the other person. You don’t have to be rich or beautiful, personality characteristics are far more important to the overall quality of a relationship.

These are many common traits which most people value in a partner, such as attentiveness, sense of humor or trustworthiness.

To become a better me could be the best gift you can offer to your partner.
