"Self compassion is amazing (including forgiving yourself for feeling that way, and having compassion for the reasons that you feel that way). As are people who love you unconditionally who can help you rebuild yourself." I've honestly never heard of self compassion and that makes a lot of sense to be a starting point of helping yourself! | |||

"If you don't mind me asking, what type of insecurity is it you are looking to overcome? " Not mine per say, I see a lot of insecurities within comments on here. And I thought it might be helpful to pass around helpful tips we may have learnt | |||

"Audre Lorde: “Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.” I have panic attacks in unexpected places, or unexpected time. My only tip is to concentrating on your breathing. Notice the in and the out and slow it down. That moment of self care sees me through most of the time. " I agree with this, the breathing technique seems so basic but is the most powerful! | |||

Sorry again x " No need to apologise at all. I have a habit of speed reading and missing the point of a thread I found meditation a great way of self help when I was feeling at my lowest. I could escape any negative thoughts and just concentrate on my immediate surroundings. It really helped. Felt strange at first but once I got into how it's done, it was amazing. Really recommend it | |||

"I used to be big into self help books and courses. I was very shy before. Less so now but still get nerves in New situations. Any you can think of that you found most helpful?" Paul McKenna I liked. I used to listen to his guided hyp. Tony Robbins always got me pumped and positive. Neil Strauss. And a few questionable characters off the internet! | |||

"I just posted this on another thread - but feel it fits in here too so I’m reposting for anyone who may need to hear this or it resonates with them Fab to me is like school, you go through many phases, one day your feel popular the next some new people arrive and there popular, some of them play nice in the playground and some are just nasty, some excel in certain areas and not some much in others, some like big social events others are more introverted, some are big characters and others bubble away under the assumed surface, there’s jealously and bitterness and there’s the happy go lucky types too. After you’ve been there a while you realise who to avoid, who are your true friends and whether or not that boy you have a crush on is worth the hassle…in the interim you muddle through, you notice those worth noticing and you realise that you shouldn’t have given as many fucks, you realise that you are worth way more than a ‘kiss/fuck/pass’ response or a ‘lovely tits’ on TOT thread My advice before entering the fab school is to be yourself, take things with a pinch of salt and buckle up for the ride! If you ain’t enjoying yourself, press the eject button and take a step back, fab grades mean nothing really Love yourself first xx" Love this! Need to take a few pointers from this | |||

"I've got a mole on my face under my nose, i've had it since I was little, I was told that if I had it removed it would leave a bigger scar so its just been left to do its thing. Its not huge but I can't hide it and forget that most people might focus on it (the Austin Powers movie pops up in my head with the whole "MOLE MOLEY MOLEY MOLEY" the kids I was at school with used to point and quote it) I hate it and airbrush it out of photos but then panic im catfishing people. I've even attempted to lob it off myself as a kid but that made it so much worse and it bleed like a bitch for hours. " Well from what I can see from your photos you look absolutely stunning. Don't feel the need to change your appearance so people find you attractive, find people that find you attractive for who you are xx | |||

"If you have, how did you go about it? Do they still creep up unintentionally? Did you overcome them on your own or with professional help?

All self love tips welcome " Having insecurities is pretty much normal, it's how others "deal" with them that's the issue. If they help you with them, help you to overcome them and accept you with them, then that's great. However, some will just exploit them. | |||
