Very very insecure and vulnerable. And it sucks!

Sadly I think its balanced, earlier in life, i felt more secure but had less responsibility and honestly didn't care. I would say I feel maybe more insecure, as now I have a family that depends on me every day, and I worry I will let them down, but at the same time I feel I have a much better sense of purpose and responsibility!

Becoming more insecure with age.

I am very secure now. I had a boyfriend who was extremely manipulative and possesive and needy etc etc. He gradually became that way over the few years we were together and it started subtley so I didn't notice it until it got way bad. None of my friends or family could understand why I would want to be with this person. The fact was that I really didn't want to be with him most of the time. Our whole relationship was basically me feeling bad for him and him taking advantage of my kindness and compassion. I was never in love with him. I learned a lot about myself and others from dealing with him. It was the hardest thing to dump him and get away. I consider myself a very strong and confident person because those experiences. It is very very hard to offend me and I am still very compassionate and kind in my own opinion. whew! nobody is even reading this, probaby, because it turned into a research paper!

I do. I'm not sure why, I think it's possibly because I'm getting older and have experienced so much that it's easier to deal with the "hits".

It's in and out and varied by the day. I'm 50 and in poor health and live in poverty, but I no longer have to worry about a manipulative woman in my life or competing on the job with all sorts of people. I no longer worry about whether I'll go to hell because i don't believe the foolishness anymore, I don't worry about rent anymore because i care for an elderly woman and live in a shed out back rent free and no longer worry about if i have the right clothes for this or that, but...on the other hand my legs are giving out on me and I don't know if my health will bottom out on me leaving me at the mercy of others, I worry about whether social security will actually accept me or not for my disabilities.. In all..I'm about the same as i was most of my life.. I'm much less suicidal than i was younger in life though.
