Every person has their own insecurities and everyone deals with them in different ways. While some people are good at hiding their emotions, others can't deal with them in the most appropriate manner. We all often worry about silly things like not being smart enough or not being pretty enough or even just not being able to get through one day like a normal person. And the problem with these thoughts is that they tend to dwell in your mind and can start hindering your lifestyle. So, if you're looking for ways in which you can work past those insecurities of yours, here are some tips that will help you.

02/9Find people you can be yourself with
Just because you're friends with someone doesn't mean they'll always understand what you're going through or what you need. Don't leave your happiness in someone else's hands. Find people who you can be yourself with. As long as you're comfortable in your own skin, that's all that matters.
03/9Initiate a conversation
You can't always keep waiting for someone else to start a conversation with you. If you want to build better friendships then you're also going to have to take the first step. You have to put in equal efforts to make your bond grow stronger.
04/9Choose quality over quantity
Having 1000 friends on Facebook won't help you out in any way. Stop looking for friends in every person you find. All you need in a bunch of close friends who understand you and are there for you when you need them. Bottom line - choose quality over quantity.
05/9Do things that make you happy
Go out to the club and dance your shoes off, pick up a book and start reading or chop up some ingredients and try a new dish; make sure that you take out the time to do things that can make you happy. When you spend time with yourself and you do things that you love, you'll start to realise that things are not as bad as they seem. And slowly you'll start to get over those unnecessary insecurities.

06/9Stop comparing yourself to others
One of the very first things you need to do is to stop comparing yourself to other people. Everyone is at different stages of their lives and everyone is living their life differently. At no point will you be as good or as bad as someone else. You just need to understand that you have to do what's best for you.

07/9Communicate
If you're feeling insecure about a certain relationship you share with someone then make sure that you don't dwell on it. Communicate with this person and let them know how you feel. More often than not, it'll turn out that you're just overthinking things. And communicating with this person will help clear things up for you.

08/9Don't give up on people
It's no secret that people have a tendency to let each other down. We start relying too much on friends and then we end up taking them for granted and that's not really the best thing to do. Instead of giving up on people, talk to them and give them another chance. Tell them how you feel and it'll help if they can reassure you about your relationship with them.

09/9Learn to appreciate yourself
No one will appreciate you as much as you can appreciate yourself. Learn to celebrate small things and reward yourself for it. Completed a deadline? Give yourself a pat on the back; finally changed that lightbulb at your place? Celebrate with some candy. Small things matter and you need to feel appreciated for them.
