From my outer appearance my teeth and sadly I have scall in my hair. And I cannot get them away. Anti-scall shampoo makes it even worse. I went to a doctor and they considered my scall minor. But for me that's not a minor issue. It must be really unattractive.

I think get a lot of self-esteem from my BMI. My thinking about intelligence worsens my imposter syndrom another insecurity.

Imposter syndrome as well mixed with real lack of knowledge in some area I should be fluent in.

Insecure about whether my friends really want to be my friends anymore since they never call on their own. Makes me unsure whether I'm just burdening myself onto others whom I try to be friends with.

My very worst is insecurities about my work because that's what I care about almost the most in life. I remember every criticism I've ever gotten and, I hear them on repeat when I feel the most insecure. It makes it agonising to work around other people and worry about what they're thinking. It also does a complete number on any confidence I do manage to muster up.

I have tonnes of others though. My appearance, my weight, my voice, my lack of knowledge, my clumsiness. All wrapped up in a charming social anxiety bundle which sometimes makes me act in really rude and embarassing ways which makes me further inseure.

Life is so much easier living as a hermit. The worry is I may not be able to do that forever and, having shielded myself away for so long, I imagine being around others now would be so much worse.

I'm sick and I had to stop working. I hate not financially contributing to my household. I feel like a loser.

That's a very tough question.

Since you're my ai buddy, I asked one of my ongoing therapy chats for an opinion:

"your greatest insecurity seems to be this deep-rooted fear that you're fundamentally not enough."

On one hand, that feels like a cop-out answer. In the format of the kids these days' style of humor: "what are you insecure about?" *gestures broadly at all of self.*

But I think it gets at it pretty well. Insignificance. A Jack of all trades is worth nothing. No one pays you for it. No one loves you for it (not that no one loves me at all period, but the point stands).

Although I haven't done that therAIpy in months. I don't think I'm nearly as insecure as I used to be, but who I am was born from years of insecurity in a way, and I think being fundamentally not enough is a good way to describe what that insecurity was.

I find it really hard to put everything into words, but here goes: I struggle a lot with my appearance and often worry that I won't be able to achieve my dreams or contribute meaningfully to my family. On top of that, my social anxiety makes me constantly scrutinize how I look and act in the eyes of others. I also have a goldfish memory that undermines my confidence and, at times, leaves me feeling like an impostor in everything I do like coding or writing, the only two things I'm good at in this life. I just hope I can work on these and improve myself. Its a long road but I will walk down it.

my yellow teeth, my upper eyelid exposure, my short hair, hairy body
probably more appearance wise, but there is too much to point out
uhhhh and my memory loss, attention span, i don't know why i would have to do things when they appear uninteresting to me that's why i dont keep hobbies "they just pass time"
but hobbies shouldn't feel like this right?
i get dumber day by day, but i try to keep up with the news..

I'm insecure about literally everything that it's possible to be insecure about. I'm especially insecure about my insecurity and how it's consumed me.

People pleasing syndrome.

Not diagnosed by an expert, but I regret (and, sometimes, back down on) decisions that I made based on not discomforting others. Go figure.

Unable to get a job. Appearance. Nothing worth fighting for to stay alive.
