Hi, I have been struggling with insecurity lately and I am not sure how to move past it.

It is not just one specific thing, but more of a constant feeling that something is off about me. I overthink how I look, how I come across to others, and whether I am doing enough with my life. It ends up affecting my confidence and even my ability to focus on things like studying or work.

I know that insecurity is normal to some extent, but I feel like mine is starting to hold me back and take up too much mental space. I want to feel more grounded and confident in myself instead of constantly questioning everything.

For people who have worked through this, what actually helped you?
Not just temporary confidence boosts, but things that genuinely changed how you see yourself.

I would really appreciate any honest advice.

Hi all, I’m about to finish my Bachelor of Psychology in Australia and I’m feeling a bit stuck about what to do next.

I’m eligible to go into honours/fourth year and continue down the registered psychologist pathway, but I’m not sure if I want to fully commit to that anymore. I do like psychology, but I’m starting to feel like it might be a bit limiting, especially if I ever want to work in a different country (where I’d likely have to retrain).

I’m open to studying more, but I’m wondering what other pathways I could branch into that still make use of my psych background. I’m not really interested in social work, but I’m open to other areas.

Has anyone pivoted out of traditional psychology into something else? What are some good options (ideally with decent pay and flexibility)?

I’d really appreciate any advice or experiences!
