What is your biggest insecurity?

[scotslad]

Probably lack of self confidence, though I have improved a lot since my teens. I have no issues with talking to girls and socialising generally, though there are still times in big groups that I will say nothing. Other times I feel like I can control the conversation, I guess it just depends on who is around you and your mood at the time. Because I'm always trying to improve in this area I think sometimes I can come across as very confident without actually necessarily being that person, which can confuse others into thinking I'm arrogant.

I have never really had any insecurities about a career but I am now in my mid 20s and still at uni and unsure of what I really want to do with my life. I'm still not overly concerned because I'm in travel mode and haven't put my full attention into it. But I hope when I do decide to do that, I have what it takes to be successful.

I'm sure you have indeed what it takes to be successful, you sound like a smart bloke.
I had similar insecurities when I was at university but overtime I managed to overcome them and remember if you are part of a group you don't always have to be "leading", it's ok to take a back seat.

Where is it you plan to go travelling?

Thanks mate.

I'm currently travelling in Europe on exchange, it will be about a 7 month trip all up. Has been marked by a few difficulties (see BFGTGTWOYD thread) but on the whole has been a ripper experience and would recommend to anyone.

Absolutely. It's quite amazing, the differences in how people see themselves vs how others see them.

True. Lately I've had cause to reflect and my perceptions are way off it is not funny. Normally I wouldn't care but sometimes it can have an effect. But then again the world is how you see it.

My insecurity. Shyness. Don't know where it comes from and even when I think I'm making an effort it really doesn't seem to have much effect.

Otherwise the same shit as everyone else. Work/money/relationships issues etc.

Were you quite shy when you were younger? as a kid?

You seem pretty outgoing on this forum anyway

Yep. I'm more outgoing now then ever. But still pretty introverted.
