Insecurity can be deadly, and once it strikes, we can find it quite difficult to curb strong emotions, no matter how hard we try. Insecurity can be a big problem in a relationship, so you better do something about it before it gets out of hand. Stay calm and solve the problem with a clear and rational mind. Being short-tempered and having a series of tantrums won’t get you going anywhere. Here are some tips on how to curb insecurity in your relationship and how to make it stop:

• Identify the reasons why you feel insecure. Is your partner giving you reason to be jealous? Or are you just paranoid when they hang out with their friends? List the reasons why you do it and determine why you feel that way. Getting to the root of your problems will make it much easier to solve them.
• Face it in yourself, inside and out. Confronting your partner about it all the time and ending up not resolving anything at all (simply because you just won’t accept anything) can slowly damage your relationship. Give yourself some room to breathe and try to learn to trust.
• Love yourself. Perhaps you are simply spending too much time with your relationship that you have neglected to have a life. Take time to pursue hobbies and interests, communicate with friends, or visit family. It’s about balance. And sometimes, insecurity is in the head.

Although communication with your partner is always the best remedy for determining, addressing, and resolving problems, there are some things that you must deal with personally. Sometimes there are some difficult problems that we have built within ourselves and there is no one else who can fix it but us.
