Wikipedia Help

Knowing that insecurities and fears can transform into other harmful disorders, I chose to find out more. Firstly, I wanted to see what Wikipedia said about insecurity.

• The article states, "However, resilience concerns over-all coping, also with reference to the individual's socioeconomic situation, whereas the emotional security specifically characterizes the emotional impact." Even Wikipedia supports my understanding that insecurity comes from an individual's social status.
• Next, it also states, "A person who is insecure lacks confidence in their own value, and one or more of their capabilities, lacks trust in themselves or others, or has fears that a present positive state is temporary, and will let them down and cause them loss or distress by "going wrong" in the future." This is a great explanation of the symptoms of an insecure person.
• It can even lead to bullying, aggression, and arrogance.
• Chemistry wise, people are naturally supposed to be unhappy; therefore, certain Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor or stimulants can reverse this. 
•  Solutions include "self-help programs, substance abuse treatment programs, and psychotherapy to physical exercise and spiritual or religious devotion"

Next, I searched self-image.

• Those with insecurity issues have poor self-images of themselves.
• It goes on to say that stereotypes and prejudice is a factor in self-image which is where bullying may come from. Those that negatively stereotype a person, the more fulfilling they feel in their own self-image. 
• It says that poor self-image starts at a young age. And to fix that, one can produce "communication, reassurance, support of hobbies, and finding role models"
• Moreover, they suggest that exercise can promote healthy physical and psychological stature. 

 Both of these searches not only effectively supported my understanding of insecurity, but it added to it. I didn't think about how poor self-image can lead to bullying even though I've heard that personally. Another factor I found interesting was that Wikipedia suggests that people turn to religion to maintain their self-image, yet on my other searches I found that this doesn't work.
