I'm a cocky person, and people know that. I love myself a lot and it's something I can't help. I feel like some people call it insecure because they're just trying to bring me down to their levels. I don't brag or rub anything in anyone's face. When I'm cocky its kind of bullshitting too. for example, when i'm messing with a group of girls, I say something like "alright ladies simmer down, there's enough of me to go around".

However, I feel like I'm losing some of my cockyness because I get insecure of being "insecure" and it's messing me up. The internet and everyone makes it feel like it's a bad thing to be cocky and have confident in yourself, and labels you as insecure. How can I love myself and continue being me without worrying about "Is this insecure if I say that?"

What do you guys think?
