Ladies, if you met a guy that you developed feelings for but then in growing in your relationship with him learned that because of his past experiences he was very insecure...would you try to help him see his value or say 'I ain't doing this!!" and walk away...refusing your feelings to devolop further or to give him a chance to see his value in you?

I believe that all people have insecurities. They just look different for each one of us. Some can be noticible right away and others don't show up until you are close in the relationship (parent/child, husband/wife, brother/sister, etc) The better you know someone brings out a persons best and worst.



So that being said, yes I would stick it out. And I did for 15 years of marriage plus dating. But I also agree with the comment that the person has to work on their insecurities. If not, and depending what they are, can be detrimental to themselves and the relationships there in.



For some insecurities look like shyness, or over the top outspokeness. For others they are hidden in addictions, etc.



Well, I"m not going to leave someone I love because they are shy, but I may if they are addicted to drugs and unwilling to seek help. Just as an example.



In the meantime, I'm working on my insecurities and trusting God for HIS everlasting Grace to make me more like HIM.

My brother Storm,



Even if I didn't have any feeling for him, I would have tried to help him see his value for sure. I think it's our obligation to help our brothers and sisters in Christ. I will give him a chance to see his value in him if he at first gives himself a chance to see his value in him and work on his insecurities. Like others have said, it would be hard if the guy is not willing to put some efforts.



But I think Cobbler's idea of walking together is the best answer. Matthe5:41. Good to have u back, Cobbler :)

Ultimately security is found in God and pursuing a closer relationship with Him. I think it's important and more effective and better off to square that away on your own than it is to involve other people.

Because even if other people can see and know the good things about yourself, an insecure person will still not be convinced. You have to recognize and accept it for yourself, but it can only be revealed through God by being honest with Him and doing your best to do the right thing. Only He can change your heart, mind, and spirit.

IOnlyDateCheerleaders: So other people shouldn't even bother trying. They should just tell you to your face that you just insecure and you should trust in God and not bother you?



Yes, you should trust in God. But, doesn't God work through people? How do you know if God didn't bring this person to you so that you can be used by God to show them his love?

I think it's good for others to offer encouragement, guidance, kindness, grace, and treat everybody with dignity and respect, but ultimately they are not capable of doing pursuing a relationship with God for you, or you for them.
