... Read moreOpening up about insecurities can be both challenging and empowering. From my experience, acknowledging the traits or qualities in others that trigger jealousy often reveals more about our own vulnerabilities than about them. When I look at someone else's confidence or beauty routine, especially in makeup get-ready-with-me (#makeupgrwm) sessions, it sometimes amplifies my insecurities, but it also motivates me to improve and embrace my uniqueness. For example, watching detailed makeup tutorials has helped me realize how much effort and skill goes into creating a flawless look, which initially made me feel inadequate. However, this honesty pushed me to practice more and appreciate the art behind it. Jealousy over others' seemingly effortless charm or style often masks a desire for self-improvement rather than resentment. It's essential to transform these feelings into positive self-reflection. By identifying what we envy, like confidence or creativity, we can set realistic goals and celebrate our progress rather than comparing ourselves negatively. Sharing and discussing insecurities openly, as in #insecurities hashtags, creates a supportive community where vulnerability is met with understanding rather than judgment. Ultimately, dealing with insecurities and jealousy is a personal journey filled with ups and downs. Integrating self-care practices, such as mindful makeup routines, helps reinforce self-love. Embracing who you are, insecurities and all, leads to genuine confidence that shines beyond appearances.

Avoidant Insecurities
Avoidants are always moving in protection of self. You take it as a personal attack because it’s hurting your feelings but it was never about you. It was always about them not allowing people to get too close. Because being too close means that you could “find them out.”
