30 Things Women Are Frequently Insecure About That Men Believe Aren't Worth Worrying About
These insecurities need to be banished from their minds.
No matter how confident you may appear to the outside world, everyone has something they feel a little less confident about—a chink in their armor, if you will. These are the little flaws that our inner critic highlights when it dissects us feature by feature.
Unfortunately, sometimes, no matter what we tell ourselves, these insecurities can overwhelm us, and some may even dictate how we think and act. Women, in particular, are often more susceptible to the challenges posed by these insecurities.
Since time immemorial, there has been immense pressure on women to achieve a kind of perfection that equates to their worth, which we all know doesn't exist. Many have been misled into believing they must meet the highest standards regarding their looks, careers, personalities, intellects, and every other aspect of their lives.
As we all know, the standards society imposes on women aren't valid because women deserve to live the lives they want, however they choose. Sometimes, all we need is a reminder of that.
On Reddit, user naruturtle asked men to share the things women and girls shouldn't be insecure about, and it received thousands of responses reminding ladies to be confident in their own skin. Here are some of the best answers from the thread.

Society and humans have long been creating these standards for beauty that have made countless people insecure about themselves, but it's time we stop conforming to those standards because everyone is beautiful in their own way. Sometimes, we also need to remind those around us of this fact.
Having insecurities is hard to prevent, but we can help people feel more confident about themselves in many ways. So, if you have a chance to make someone feel better about themselves, do it.
