Insecurity

Insecurity is relying on someone or something else to supply a feeling.

Generally, if I think of someone as "insecure" I picture those in a serious relationship where they are very dependent on their significant other. I've seen this in a lot of my friends' boyfriends/girlfriends. Phone calls every five minutes, Facebook stalking, clingy, having to see each other every day. 
It's not a bad thing to have someone that you can feel secure and comfortable with, but there is a line concerning insecurity that is easily crossed.

In my own life, I have felt insecure with religion, family, working and friendships. I find that if I am not busy then I am not happy. If I am not with people then I am not happy. One of the hardest things that I have come to realize is that being alone every once in a while is healthy. 

It's okay to be okay with yourself. It's okay to trust others and it's okay to be trusted.

Relying on someone/something else for you happiness is a form of insecurity. Each individual has the power inside themselves to make themselves happy. Insecurity is a choice, and so is happiness.
