A PRACTICE TO DEVELOP ABIDING CONFIDENCE

A hole in your self perception is the cause of insecurities. It is often inoperative until some external event triggers it.
Essentialy insecurity is whenever we operate from a lack perspective and go on to try to overcompensate that by behaving in the opposite way, only for the Divine to mirror our errors back to us, in the form of somebody pointing out flaws that we are trying to hide so bad.
For example, you are a siger but you avoid sharing your music with the world out of fear of rejection. This only indicates that you are not coming from a place of purity, that there is division between the part of you who creates, thrives in creating and enjoys creating...And the part of you that is trying to overcompensate for some non integrated trauma. In this example, maybe when you were a child your caregivers compared you with your sibling a lot, so now you behave trying to avoid comparisson at all costs, at the same time always feeding a belief of inferiority and trying to be the best...Because at the end, you are still that wounded child, searching for your parent's validation.
When we strip away all of the false perceptions of ourselves (what I call defense personality —the persona you created in order to survive, based in whatever behavior was approved or disapproved around you), we are free from those holes of insecurity.
Because you are simply living for yourself, your divine purpose and to be the unique expression of the Divine. So whatever people think of you and your creations stop affecting you so much, and you simply blossom from your own river of singularity.
When you are self aware AND regulated, criticism becomes like honey in your tongue, sweet opportunities for self reflection, instead of triggers for emotional outbursts or isolation and sorrow.
Sit by yourself in the dark, soothing presence of the waning Moon, and contemplate every single insecurity you have. Why it exists, where did it come from, how is it triggered? Then evoke ways in which you can either improve or accept the "flaw". End this practice by breathing deeply into all your self imposed restrictions as you let them go.
