Insecurity and Freedom

Children who don’t feel safe in their environment don’t play easily. They tend to cling to their carers and are afraid to explore. It’s like this with adults who are insecure. They tend to stay close to home and stick to what is familiar. They don’t explore, have adventures or try anything new. They are also less creative.

If you are insecure you will ‘use’ dependencies, especially in relationships, to give you security, but these dependencies also trap and imprison you. Insecurity reduces your freedom. You feel tied to what you are dependent on; you don’t feel relaxed enough to move on. You don’t grow.

However, the more you can take responsibility for yourself, the more you can grow up, out of dependency, the more secure you will feel and the more freedom you will have. Freedom comes from taking responsibility.
