How Do I Deal With My Insecurities?

I’d love some feedback and ideas, and that’s the purpose of this post.

Context

For the past 3 months I’ve been working on a translation of the I Ching, the ancient Book of Changes.

Each week I work on one of the 64 sections of the text, with daily translation and contemplation/embodiment of the commentaries contained within each section.

It’s been an interesting experience, and has heightened my understanding of ancient Chinese Philosophy and improved my skills at reading ancient Chinese.

Mistrust

Today’s meditation has been challenging, in that I’ve been forced to contemplate the moments in my life where a sense of insecurity has led me to withdraw from other people.

I realise that this is the first time that I’ve considered this aspect of my life, my attention has never really be drawn to it before.

And I admit to feeling somewhat perturbed by it. It’s one of those things where you realise there have been moments in the past where you’ve really fucked up and treated others poorly.

So my question is:

How do you deal with insecurities?

Do you ignore them?
Do you explore their root?
Do you suppress the feeling and soldier on?
Do you talk about it, if so with whom?

What do you do? I’d love it if you could share something about your experiences in the comments.

Thanks in advance,
