The sense of self is inflated, causing overwhelming desperation for approval for those generally degraded /somethings you feel degraded about. We're conditioned to measure worthiness relative to the next best thing, one that's an insecurity in itself. A craze that needs to be balanced, and our minds reconditioned & challenge the status core. We can't still be surprised by what nature, not the world, dictates and in our shock we mock what isn't per 'the standard'. We're where we are but we can reduce the number of what is/we ridicule causing such depressive emotions and behaviors. You are in control of yourself and thoughts, define your own and deny whoever judges it the power to take away your confidence. I share a bit of what i have decided to take away from the world and own such that it's not a concern to me what the world thinks. We need to get over ourselves, and choose what to feel insecure about out of the whole list. Leave a few for the world, not all of you!
