Self Esteem - I'm Insecure

I'm insecure ther theres i have a desire to be liked by other people. I like it when people approve of me and think that i am successful. It hurts me when i think people disapprove of me or think i'm unsuccessful. When i truly embrace that part of myself, that's scary. But actually sitting with it and gong, now i'm focking insecure, and that's ok. Now my self esteem doesn't feel threatened any more,. because i'm sitting with the thing i was trying to avoid.
