It's not a big secret that we all have our inherent insecurities. But do we need to let these hold us back. Most insecurities are about one's image. Be it physical or social attributes or lack thereof, all of us try to handle them in our own ways. Bullying has been taken to another ugly level, through cyberbullying. By the advent of social media and the rapid escalation of stereotypes by the mainstream media, kids as well as grownups these days are popping pills to deal with the social stigmas and peer pressure.
We are all humans and no one is perfect. The #DUFFS and the #COOLKIDS must be able to get along just fine. Sadly this is not the case, labels, stereotypes and insecurities remain the same. Music is one way to deal with one's insecurities. Although hundreds of inspirational songs are released each year only a few actually over the past few decades deal with insecurities. Pink's Fuckin' Perfect is definitely number one on the list as the title itself says no one is perfect and no one should strive to be fucking perfect. There is not much to say about genre as they are all but one from mainstream pop. The underlying themes are more or less in relation to body image whilst some of the male artists are singing about how they love the girl 'just the way they are'. So here are the best 20 songs to deal with insecurities.
