Preying on Insecurities

Everyone has their own set of insecurities, may it be physically, mentally, and yes — financially. Everyone either tries to deal with them or worse, hide them. Of course, there’s the matter of people unaware of their insecurities, too. And that poses a huge weak point that, sadly, others take advantage of.
In the dating scene, you will encounter varied ways on how a guy or a girl would prostitute themselves just because of an insecurity. And like I said, there will be people who actually zone in on those insecurities and use them to their advantage.
One article that I came across illustrates this best. It talks about some individuals who actually target inmates for god knows whatever reason apart from boredom or curiosity. Well, it cited some of the possible reasons, factual and speculative, but I’m leaving it up to you to find out.
It’s highly unconventional, I know. It’s not something I’d approve of but to each his own, right? Or is it? What do you think?
Anyway, I’m not suggesting that you receive people with cynicism — that only gives your insecurities power over you. There’s no harm in being wary, though. Best way to go about this is to face your insecurities and learn to love yourself. Always tell yourself that you’re good enough for anyone.
hahaha great minds think alike huh?
I have to admit, I found myself curling my eyebrows a few times while reading the article. Granted, I know there are probably innocent people in prison and like they say — everyone needs love, but sometimes the internet provides too many possibilities. Don’t you think?
My thoughts exactly! Hahaha
You’re right. I can’t speak for these women [or men, whatever applies] because I reckon there are lonely souls in there who are only looking for some hope and even love outside the prison walls. It’s sad to think that the internet plays a role in all these.
