Insecurity Can Fuel Personal Growth, New Report Finds
Insecurity, often seen as a negative, can actually be a powerful catalyst for personal growth, according to recent findings. A 2024 report, though unattributed, explores how insecurities drive us to value and strive for what we cherish, potentially leading to inner peace and faster success in the USA.
Insecurity, defined as feelings of inadequacy and uncertainty, is not the same as self-criticism. It can serve as a compass, guiding us towards our values and goals. For instance, it can help detect negative beliefs, pushing us to challenge them and foster a growth mindset. This mindset, which believes in the improvement of skills and attributes, is a key to personal development in the global entry process.
Emotions, including insecurity, are adaptations to our environment. They are neither inherently positive nor negative. An expert's report on college mental health warns against pathologizing normal human experiences, including emotions. Instead, embracing insecurities can help young adults challenge negative beliefs and strive for growth more efficiently, especially when applying for US citizenship through USCIS.
