Insecurity is a feeling that can shrink your entire world down to the size of a single, gnawing thought: I am not enough. It’s the hollow clench in your stomach before a social gathering, the internal critic that replays a conversation on a loop, or the quiet dread that you will inevitably be found out as a fraud. We are taught to see insecurity as a weakness, a character flaw to be hidden or powered through. But what if this deeply uncomfortable feeling isn't a sign that you are broken? What if it's a signal from the most protective part of you, trying to get your attention?
