Real Life Experiences

Next, I wanted to find real-life experiences of insecurity and fears. From past posts, I know that insecurities and fears can produce other disorders, such as anxiety or eating disorders. I wanted to look into if there were any stories that involved my research topic.

Surprisingly, I found a website that is called "I Battle Insecurity Stories, Real True Stories of Real Experiences." This website had plentiful stories from real people that have and are willing to overcome insecurity.

For example, a lot of posts relate to their insecurities to depression. Their insecurities are so potent that it spiraled into a worse condition. Most posts relate their insecurities to relationship issues. They feel as though their insecurities get the best (or in this case, worse) of them and it affects their personal relationships. But the main theme of it all is the strain that society and their peers puts on them on a daily basis. The more they feel as though they are being judged, the more insecure they feel. And the more insecure they feel, the less motivation and happiness they develop.

This website gives me perfect examples on how my research topic relates to the real world. It gives a sense of reality and that people who obtain insecurity can overcome it.
