What makes someone insecure in their personality and how do you overcome this?

For example, fear of rejection meeting new people, devastated if a person doesn't like you and blame yourself because it must be your fault. Having to change your personality in order to fit in with others and can't be yourself, always having negative thoughts and overly sensitive to criticism. Fear of being yourself and getting to close to someone incase they reject you
What makes someone insecure in their personality and how do you overcome this?
Well, because you've put this question under Psychology, there's no easy way to answer it. There are different fields of Psychology.

According to the:

Biological Model: there may be something wrong in your body which is not letting you be who you want to.

Psychodynamic: There are underlying conflicts that have been pushed to the bottom, that you are not tending to. maybe previous rejections that are not seeing the day of light.

Behavioral: You might be thinking wrongly. %26quot;Oh, everyone is going to hate me; I'm an embarrassment, and I'll just make a fool of myself.%26quot;

Cognitive: You might have learned that people don't like people like you, and that the past has taught you not to be who you really are.

Humanistic: There's a part of you that wants to be the best they can be; and by being insecure, you're not getting to your fullest potential.

Existential: You're avoiding responsibility of what is, and therefore you're insecure.

Sociocultural: There may be stress around you which is making you insecure. It could be family, work, peers, etc.

The way to get over this is realization. Know that you're better than you perceive yourself to be. Our bodies are pretty amazing; whenever we're not feeling optimally, our bodies send us a signal to change it. Bring peace to your life by going deep within yourself. Don't fret over the smallest things, because really, they're not the ones who are going to be your companions lifelong. You're always going to live with and within yourself, so you might as well start enjoying it.

I hope this helps! Good luck!
