The Lure Of Being Secure - Rishona Chopra


I think something we all feel is insecurity. At some point, we start rethinking our decisions and doubting ourselves.  Insecurity is simply a negative feeling which is really a disguise to fit in. It can be caused due to jealousy, and a lack of self-determination and optimism. Before raising our hand in class, do we feel a slight doubt about asking a particular question? We might feel what will other students think? Will they think that we don't know the answer to such a simple question. 

It is usually the thought "What will others think" that bothers us and affects us. No matter how much people say that we shouldn't care about what others say. Deep down, at some point, we do care, or at least I do. When someone says something about me in a negative way, it affects me if the person saying so is close to me as a friend or family. 

Whenever we feel something like that, we can always talk to ourselves. When I feel jealous of someone I tell myself that I am turning green with envy and that I have to turn normal again. It makes you feel better and makes a good laugh. 

Sometimes, we stop being ourselves and put on a personae of insecurity just to fit in. But, why fit in when you can stand out?

Friendship - Aanya Kumar

We all have friends, and among them, some friends are very close to us, and we love calling them our best friends. But what exactly does friendship mean? Friends make us feel secure, comfortable and we feel happy to be the way we are. We are not hesitant while sharing our secrets or emotions with them and make them our confidantes. What should we do to strengthen our bond with our friends? We should be loyal to our friends. Also, a friend should not feel insecure with us. The responsibility of maintaining our friendship is not only on us, but it is a relationship based on mutual trust and respect. Friendship is a virtue to be learnt because true friends are always there by our side, supporting us.
