Why do you think people become so insecure at a very young age???

Question:We all think we're alone in this world, and stepping outside our house tomorrow we'll continue to act as we do however we do. What could we do to be less insecure and start being like one together and forget our inhibitions?? Not act tough, or shy, or too proud, just be the people we want to be like here and now!!!

I think young people are insecure because their lives are in fluctuation. Their home environments, relationships, bodies, education, work, everything, they have to change their identities to catch up and also "stay true to themselves" grounded in values...very difficult.
I think we act tough, shy, proud, etc to cover up other emotions we feel that we don't want others to see, or we dont want to feel, dont want to be a part of us. If we left our houses tomorrow and didn't feel those emotions, therefore not acting tough, shy, etc - life would be much less interesting. What would be exciting if nothing was scary? What joy would be found in self-discovery if nothing felt insecure? What growth would happen if we were never questioning ourselves and trying to replace some emotions with other ones, evolving into the people we want to be?

Look at society these days.
For example, all these models being forced to fit in a size 0 because "that's perfection".
People these days are always striving for more, and I'm not saying that's bad, but theere is a fine line between wanting to look decent, and obsessed with getting almost like and "hourglass" figure.

Not knowing the "right" way.

An extremely important question..... one of the most relevant issues in today's life!!

In my view, the basic reason behind continuously increasing risk profile, is our materialistic approach to life which keeps demanding more and more on an unending and greedy scale. We need to get back to a certain balanced level of materialism and spiritualism (not necessarily religion based) in order to improve security, whether at a young age or at an advanced age. In my view, spirituality is the only true way of alleviating the two major adverse influences of life, namely, fear and risk.

just act normal...

My dear,All our security or insecurity is related to material in this world.Loneliness is our own interpretation.You feel that you are lonely for all our scriptures have professed that we come alone and depart alone.Rightly so,we should understand the fact that life is merely a biological process,natural,and related abstract nouns soul,hell,heaven,etc.are man-made.Bless you.http://www.raja-books.blogspot.com http://www.raja-ocean.blogspot.com

We have crazy school systems that group us together with the same age group. We have to fit in. If we don't people discard us. Maybe that fear is what does it.
