Title: Overcoming the Voice of Doubt
Inse had always been quiet, but ever since Jake started picking on him, school felt unbearable.
Every day, Jake would mutter insults as Inse walked past. “Why do you even sit with us? No one wants you here.”
Each time, Inse’s stomach twisted, and the voice of insecurity whispered, Maybe he’s right. Maybe I really don’t belong here.
At home, Curity noticed her brother’s frown as he picked at his dinner. “What’s wrong, Inse?” she asked.
Inse hesitated, then finally admitted, “Jake keeps calling me names. I try not to care, but… I do.”
Curity leaned forward. “I get it. But Jake’s words are just noise. 1 TFM – Ignore the Voice of Insecurity. If you don’t react, he loses his power over you.”
Inse frowned. “But what if ignoring him makes it worse?”
Curity smiled. “Not ignoring Jake—ignoring the insecure voice inside that believes him. You know who you are. That’s what matters.”
The next day, when Jake sneered, “Still here, huh?” Inse felt the voice of insecurity creeping in—but then, he remembered Curity’s words.
Instead of looking down, he squared his shoulders and walked past without a word.
Jake frowned. No reaction? That wasn’t fun.
At lunch, a few classmates invited Inse to sit with them. Without Jake’s words weighing him down, he realized—he did belong.
That night, Inse told Curity what happened.
Curity grinned. “See? When you ignore the voice of insecurity, you take your power back.”
Inse smiled. Maybe he wasn’t as small as he thought after all.
