You know that image of great looking people walking down the
street with a certain confidence that makes you interested in them? I bet you
do. If you had the power to read their thoughts for a day, what do you think
they would think? Not that you predictable human…
I am almost sure that you would read thoughts about their
imperfectness , that insecurity, the loosened string that holds their
confidence. We would all think that the
insecurity must be physical since we live in a world where appearance matters (and
we all know it does)
However, appearance does not mean beauty or fit bodies. It
also means style, what you choose to let people see first in you, charisma,
sense of humor, knowledge, social skills etc. Since it matters so much, we
tend to believe that we lack something when it comes to self esteem.
When asking my friends about their insecurities I got : weight , fear of gaining weight, specific body parts that they(us) don’t feel good about. There is also that friend that has that thing that most of her female friends would kill for, but she considers it a flaw (It’s exactly what you’re thinking and we think she is a little nuts too…)
Besides the physical insecurities, the ones that you
actually can’t do much to fix are the personality ones. How many times have we
heard our friends complain that they can’t deal with certain situations as they
know they should because of their character or emotional control. ( I am one of
them and as my Sherlock friend would say “That is not a good thing…” )How many
times have we heard our friends whine about a lost argument and how they wanted
to say that perfect line but “let it go”
because was not worth the fight? (we all know that comeback came to his/her
mind two hours later) Women mostly are more emotionally driven, especially during
the dark week… and they all are very insecure about the stuff that they might
do or say but they do it anyways. And then, there are men, not so self-controlled
as they believe to be. Anger management,
like breaking doors and flipping tables I think are little insecurities about
dealing with the situation properly too.
You may have big ears, crooked nose, a “single” pack (that’s
a shape too) loose temper, emotional instability, whining behavior, crazy mood
swing etc etc…but if you weren't to have all that you would be boring as hell
and your perfection would be ugly and untasteful.
Now build up your confidence
, exactly like you do when you sing in the shower, and be PERFECTLY EMOTIONALLY
AND PHYSICALLY FLAWFUL.

Just remember that you are unique... just like everyone else ;)
