What do you do whenever you're feeling insecured?

Do you ever feel insecured? A lot of us hides our insecurities through various defense mechanisms, like that infamous bully in school, that snobbish next-door girl, that self-righteous bloke we know, etc. etc... the thing is a lot of times, things are not always as it seems. Sometimes, we're just afraid to be vulnerable.

I can be very insecure at times and I always try to hide it shutting myself off to the world, or being aggressive to people because I don't want them to notice I'm vulnerable, as you said. But I guess that vulnerability is what allows people to enter your sphere and try to help you in your sorrow, whenever you're down and feeling lonely. I once watched a movie that changed all my life and it's called "Peaceful Warrior". I love a quote from that movie, which says "a warrior is not about perfection or victory or invulnerability, he's all about vulnerability".
