Insecurities

30-Day Blogging Challenge PROMPT for November 10th: What do you find yourself insecure about? Are you able to overcome your insecurities? If so, how?

In general, I think it's me wanting to do something more than any insecurity.

1. My inability to get up in front of English class due to nerves.
2. My anxiety when faced with having to learn how to swim... naked.
3. My unwillingness to look long at myself in a mirror.
4. My emphatic refusal to post a picture of my face on facebook.
5. My teenage reluctance to learn how to drive a car.

1. Was taken care of somewhere along the way by getting up and sharing poetry in Tulsa years ago.
2. I still do not like going into the water. I don't do naked either.
3. Still neither like looking at myself nor, even worse, listening to my voice.
4. I send pics by private message, but only if the pics flatter me.
5. I had to learn how to drive for a job. Great motivation.

Now? I still have anxiety and depression that gets wound up in fears and insecurity. Such is my life.
