insecurity and the average bear
I made the realization to keep one foot in management as I wrote about earlier. I came to my Dad's house today
and I realized I am really insecure and I kind of realized that I am probably not alone in that. I decided just to allow
myself to be insecure rather than react to it, not judge it but just accept it. It can bring on lonely feelings but
actually it makes me relax and join the party too. I bet we're all feeling cut off at some point. I don't know why I feel
so insecure - everyone must feel it at differing levels - anyways - so it goes. I feel ok now.

Great awareness, Mark. I sure freed myself from allot of anxiety when I learned how to put my unpleasant feelings on the side burner without denying or repressing them. It feels so simple now, but I sure needed allot of practice to achieve that simplicity.
Perhaps the most important lesson I learned from my psychotic breaks is what makes too much confidence a valid sign of psychosis. I am not the Master of the Universe. There are places where I SHOULD feel insecure. Other people's turf if one of them.
thanks arfie!
I, too, have insecurities. I think I always will and like you say, accepting it is key.
thanks becky!
