Insecurity is a feeling of general unease or nervousness that may be triggered by perceiving of oneself to be vulnerable in some way. A person who is insecure lacks confidence in their own value, and one or more of their capabilities, lacks trust in themselves or others, or has fears that a present positive state is temporary, and will let them down and cause them loss or distress by "going wrong" in the future.
In order to overcome insecurity, people need to:
* Take risks to change their current behavior.
* Trust others enough to expose themselves to them, risking vulnerability
and the possibility of being hurt.
* Have a healthy and humorous belief in themselves in order to overlook
their exaggerated need for acceptance and approval.
* Take a rational approach to each problem they face so that they are no
longer inhibited by debilitating fears or beliefs.
* Practice assertive behavior in their lives, earning respect and the
acknowledgment of their rights.
* Arouse the courage to take small steps in learning to experience success
and overcoming their lack of belief in self. Once the success is
experienced, they can build on it to gain the courage to act out of a
strong conviction in their self-goodness and worth.
* Break the barrier or outer shell of the self-doubt they have hidden behind
and reach out to others. Breaking out of their "shells" requires letting go
of past hurts (real or imagined) and moving on with life.
I was really proud of how the Shockers represented the Valley in the NIT. But after reading through all the misery, anxiety, and outright cowardness displayed in this forum, I am convinced that the warrior spirit that WSU showed in NYC is far removed from the majority of folks in here. :(
It appears from all accounts that Greg Marshall is no fan of the term "mid-major". I hope he never peeks into this website because you guys are the embodiment of mid-major.
Enjoy your championship and have some confidence Shocker fans! Tomorrow will be a new day and everybody's life will most likely still go on.
