Emotional Insecurity Help

by Mark I Myhre

 

emotional insecurity

 

While the phrase – emotional insecurity – may seem to indicate a person who’s unable to feel the emotional experience of security, in reality it goes much deeper than that.

 

The term usually refers to someone who seems to be scared and worried and perhaps needy and clingy. But if it were merely a function of not feeling secure, then you could just start practicing ‘letting in the energy of security’.

 

By creating your own little visualization technique:

Imagine what the energy of security looks like to you, then spend the time to focus on it as much as you can throughout the day. Imagine the color of security, the texture of security, the shape, the size, the feel, the smell, the voice. Imagine the voice of security.

Security does have a voice, you know. And it’s beautiful… ineffable. And that little technique I just mentioned does have the power to change your life. If… IF… you have a solid emotional foundation to stand on.


Work on your emotional foundation first. Then, feeling security, or feeling anything else, for that matter, will be a piece of cake.


Emotional insecurity is almost always rooted in childhood. None of us, unfortunately, were taught how to feel our feelings when we were growing up. Quite the contrary, in fact. We were taught and conditioned to not feel.

We learned at an early age that we better stuff down what we truly were feeling. Shutting down became a survival mechanism. And now, as grownups, we still have that mechanism in place.

When we started stuffing our feelings, it eventually led to various outcomes. Anxiety and depression are two obvious examples. Emotional insecurity is another.

Emotional insecurity equals emotional immaturity. I’m not saying you are immature if you experience emotional insecurity. Rather, I am referring to your relationship with your emotions.

 

Emotional insecurity involves a childlike response to emotion. It’s not bad, it’s not judgmental, it’s not an indictment… it’s just a survival mechanism that’s still in place today, many years later.


Sucking your thumb as a child could be considered a coping mechanism. It’s not evil… it doesn’t mean you’re stupid or unevolved or mentally ill… it’s just a way to cope. And because it’s a physical act, others see it. So, you have to stop doing it sooner or later, whether you want to or not.


But with emotional insecurity, no one can see it. Therefore, you have no motivation to stop. Plus, you may not even understand the basic problem:


“I don’t have a working knowledge of emotions so I try to manipulate and control them.”


Now if you really look at it, you’ll realize many, many people have this problem. Sometimes it manifests as feeling insecure, but most of the time, those feelings are hidden so well that no one ever notices. You see?


Feeling insecure is the tip of the iceberg when it comes to emotional insecurity.

I had a severe case of emotional insecurity most of my life, but I doubt anyone had the slightest idea of what I was going through, because I was able to hide it. Perhaps those around me thought I was weird, or neurotic (which I was!) but also, I constantly fought off my inner demons of emotional insecurity.


I didn’t understand my emotions, I didn’t recognize their value, and I didn’t want to feel. I wanted to be dispassionate, like Spock on Star Trek. I thought that was the best way to go through life.


But I had a painful splinter in my heart that kept growing and growing. The unfelt, unrecognized, unacknowledged emotional energy kept growing larger and larger. More and more, life became a quest to escape from myself. I obsessed with running away.

Finally, I ran out of room to run. I became trapped. I thought I had to fight my way out, but really, I had been running from myself, so there was no need to fight. Slowly, slowly, I realized it was safe to feel. I realized I am safe enough to feel afraid.


Feeling fear is not the problem. The problem came from all those stories I told myself about what it means to feel fear.


“If I’m scared that means something really bad is about to happen.”


I created an ‘outside authority’ to run from. A mythical beast which existed only in my own imagination.


I took my authorship – my energy of authority – and placed it out in the illusion.

I disavowed my power, pretending I didn’t have any, pretending others had the power, not me

.

And I ended up with an extreme case of emotional insecurity. Panic ensued. Anxiety, my constant companion. Depression, despair, despondency… righteous hurt, righteous anger, and a rage that always threatened to explode in my face. Guilt and shame. All this and more became my reality. All because I didn’t have a working knowledge of emotions, so I tried to manipulate and control them instead.


So what did I do to change?


Looking at it from the big picture, I decided to create a new relationship with my emotions. I stopped seeing them as the enemy… I stopped trying to push them away, and embraced them instead.


I realized that drama and melodrama and ranting and raving and acting like a puppet on a string has nothing to do with feeling emotions.

I separated the energy of my emotions from my stories about my emotions.

I gave myself permission to feel. I allowed myself to feel. I was willing to feel.

I asked for help from above.

I realized there were parts of me who had a vested interest in me not feeling. And I divested from those parts.


These were the ‘big picture’ steps I took. Obviously, each of these steps rate an article or two of their own. For now, I just want to get the steps out there so you’ll at least know what I did, if you’re interested.

Once I started taking these actions, (and they will always be a work in progress) then I was able to look at my life and realize I still wasn’t feeling much security. But from a solid foundation – from a healthy relationship with my emotions in general – then it was easy to start feeling secure.


I started with the visualization exercise I mentioned at the beginning of this page. I let my imagination and my subconscious come up with the images of security. Then, I focused on those images. After some practice, it became a simple matter of just choosing to feel secure whenever I happened to think about it… such as, any time I happened to not be feeling secure.


And that, my friend, is how I ended my emotional insecurity. Not that I always feel secure now, but I can feel secure anytime I choose. (Almost!)


It’s not perfect. It’s not black-and-white. And it’s not absolute. Rather, it’s a knowing that no matter what life throws at me… no matter what emotions or fears come up… no matter how much I get thrown off my game… I’m going to be just fine. Things will work out.

And that peace of mind is plenty good enough for me.
