Insecurity is a strange affliction of the modern world.
Ironically, it does not go away once you have more of what you are insecure about.
I have seen many rich people being insecure about their wealth, senior professionals being insecure about their jobs, smart people being insecure about their abilities, beautiful people being insecure about their looks. And so on.
It's an emotion that surges in unlikely situations on the smallest of triggers and makes you do strange and stupid things.
As a generation, we are better provided for on all basic necessities of life, yet we are more insecure than our hunter gatherer ancestors for whom even the next meal was not guaranteed.
If you feel insecure, don't chase more of what you feel insecure about. That won't solve the problem.
Focus more on:
1. Examining your emotion and it's triggers
2. Appreciating yourself for who you are and letting go of small stuff
2. Diversifying the network of people you interact with, in the real world.
