Young people often experience insecure? Why?

Teenagers have great potential to develop the next generation. In the process towards today, there are many obstacles that can affect their mental health, one of which is a sense of insecure

Insecurity is a feeling of insecurity that can occur in everyone. Insecurity can occur when you feel worried, ashamed, and not confident. When people live in insecurity, people tend to feel fear in any case.

In their teens they feel it is important to belong to one group because this is part of their self-identity. So it is very important for teenagers not to be considered strange and this strange feeling can be avoided if they are with a group or groups. This is why they always want to be together with their groups. Adolescence is a period of preparation to adulthood where education is a determining factor for their future, so it is natural that they feel insecure with their achievements. Especially considering that in Indonesia the emphasis on educational success is still largely seen from academic achievement alone.

When you lack confidence and are ashamed of yourself, for example because of your physical form and abilities, you will create insecurities that make you able to compare yourself to others. Situations like this can make teenagers generally feel excessive depression, thus triggering a mental disorder.

How to deal with insecure?

Accept the fact that you have been born ONE, different, and special. You are you with all the weaknesses and strengths that are owned, and forever will not be someone else. Vice versa. Never mind how "WOW" someone is out there, because all you have to do is concern yourself with your personal life and family. Improve your quality by focusing on continuing to get a variety of positive achievements for your life, not others.

Stop taking care of other people's lives, because you are not necessarily right in taking care of your own life.

Stop assuming the lives of others, because only you will be dizzy with the few assumptions and opinions that you have built before. While other people are not messing around and taking care of your life. Stop playing around alone.

Stop looking for weaknesses in an event or someone. Direct your thoughts towards positive thoughts and the best prayers for others. Direct your mouth to replace all forms of insults into praise. Because after all, you want to be praised rather than insulted by others? Yes, then do the same thing to others first.
