How to Deal With Insecurity in Podcasting
How Does Insecurity Affect Podcasters?
People seek validation and acceptance to meet their need to feel significant.
They end up creating content based on what others care about, rather than what they want to share.
Then, they fight against themselves to try and get the best results.
Social media amplifies their insecurity even more because of its instant feedback technology.
Insecurity can sometimes help people achieve things; however, this type of motivation often leads to feeling as empty as before.
Seven Essential Practices in Overcoming Insecurity
Step into the light and name your problem.
Be 100% responsible for what is happening to you.
Stack the pain and feel it.
Have a compelling vision for your life.
Get help from someone who doesn’t care about you.
Be the hero.
Rewrite the story.
Dealing with Haters and Bad Reviews and Comments
Read the bad comments.
Don’t take anything personally.
Evaluate both the good and bad comments to understand what their goal is.
Surround yourself with people who would give you some good quality and honest feedback.
Use constructive feedback to improve.
Staying True to Your Cause
Trust your judgment and opinions.
Be aware of your imperfections.
Know and follow what you want.
