I have come to the conclusion that the root cause of all social ills is the juxtaposition of the fear of rejection and people being all too willing to reject.
People would probably be happier and better adjusted if this weren't the case. Note that I'm not saying that we need say everything is OK, or not tell someone when they're not doing something right, but we can be more accepting on both sides.
If we accept that we make mistakes, and other people are more willing to tell the truth, then things would be better. I'm not sure if this makes sense to anyone else, but it makes sense to me. The biggest problem is that most people are willing to reject, but not willing to give honest feedback/constructive criticism. What reason would you have to be insecure if everyone was perfectly honest (but not in a mean way)?
A world without insecurities sounds nice to me.
