The root cause of some of our greatest insecurity is in the lack of love and support we received from our parents as a child or in our past relationships. Moral of the story - lead with love, especially towards your kids, you wouldn’t want to cause any trauma, would you? I don’t think so.

For in silence I find no rejection,
I choose to love you in loneliness…
For in loneliness no one owns you but for me,
I choose to adore you from a distance…
For distance will shield me from pain,
I choose to kiss you in the wind…
For the wind is gentler than my lips,
I choose to hold you in my dreams…
For in my dreams, you have no end.”

Summary
Insecurity is not something you deal with at the bat of a hat, it’s a constant battle you have to make a deliberate and conscious effort to overcome every day. And being able to identify your insecurity and how it manifests itself in your life is a good place to start. When dealing with an insecure partner the best thing you can do is to build their confidence and reassure them as much as you can, try your best not to feed their insecurity. If your partner expresses his/her insecurity through jealousy, reassure them of your love and commitment, don’t make room for their jealousy to breed. There’s also an option to seek professional help or to just walk away from the relationship if it’s unbearable.
