You are over thinking this.

I assume this is for the OP? Because it's a pretty silly thing to say to someone expressing an insecurity. No one decides to be insecure. If an insecure person could stop being insecure by way of reason or willpower, insecurity would go extinct. A sensible, humane person would no sooner say 'You are overthinking this' to a person suffering from insecurity than they would to a person suffering from depression, or strep throat, or a cleft palate.

It's an especially callous thing to say to a person of average size who is (for some reason) on a message board devoted to well-hung dudes having an infinite measuring contest with one another. Like, this board is a petri dish for insecurity for the OP and people like him.

That all said, I'm not sure why the OP is voicing this concern on this forum.

I disagree. I think we run into more problems when we coddle people and "protect" them when what they need is some tough love, or to be told that some fears/phobias/insecurities really are not worth worrying about. And the only way that someone can overcome insecurity is to face it and learn to deal with it.

If you have a fear of public speaking, the only way to overcome it is to expose yourself to it. If you have a phobia of heights, the only way to overcome it is to expose yourself to high places. If you have an insecurity about your dick size, you just have to deal with it and realize that it's not a vitally important part of life.

I've had insecurities. I have insecurities regularly, about things a lot more important than dick size (like my job, for instance), and the only way to get past them is to face them. They never, ever get better if you hide from them. They only get worse, and eventually your quality of life suffers.

I am dealing with it by naming it, talking about it, not hiding from it, and getting other people's opinions. To not deal with it would be to just keep it to myself.

And I think it is okay for people to be on this site, be active on this site, even if you don't have a big penis. Am I wrong?

I thinks so, but you appear to have quite a large penis.

You are right. We all have our problems or insecurities, or most of us do anyway, but knowing which ones are luxury problems and which ones aren't is a simple way of improving our overall quality of life and general happiness. Perspective!
