Hi Sam oh yes just by watching it you can tell how much the world loved them, i loved watching the scenes where they were just goofing around in the hotel rooms, which is how i am sure it was in real life, just them being themselves, and how powerful their apperances on Ed Sullivan were, even though i wasnt born during the whole thing back then watching it now, looking back you can tell they had something special, they appealed to everyone and still do!

HI\i Paulfan. Nothing in particular. He sometimes wasn't as confident in his own ability as he pretended to be. Teenagers and younger people always have these doubts about themselves. It's only when they get older they see their fears and doubts were groundless. Cheers Sam.
I think that what happens is that we "pretend to be" secure of ourselves because we're not. It's like convicing ourselves that were good when it seems that we're convincing someone else. You need to throw it away. "I can do this, I'm as good as..." to convince yourself. Deep inside you know what you are, but you're not so sure, so you let it out to "see what happens". Well, look at my nick... :

good point! Maybe sometimes it is hard for us to be ourselves so we try to be something we're not but then people dont know the real you unless you act how you normally do, no one is perfect but being yourself is the way to go.

Sam, I know what you mean. I myself have those feelings too. Anyway I think John was a great songwriter and he made wearing glasses look cool when I thought it looked nerdy to wear glasses when I was a teenager. I thought John was the only person who looked cool in glasses. I don't see why John was inseucre as he was very talented. Was he insecure all throughout his life? I'm 32 and still have some insecurities myself.

i think we all have our insecurities, no matter what age. I'm sure everyone wishes they could change something about themselves.

You are so right Sara. Sam said that mostly teenagers and younger people have insecurities so I thought that old people didn't have them as much as young people do. I'm surprised that John would have ahd insecurities in adulthood. I'm sure Paul doess too. Sara you probably have them also.

Oh yes i do and i am sure probably everyone here on this board has them too, it's just part of life.

People are afraid of pain..... And that includes the emotional pain caused by humiliation due to obvious insecurities. I used to be very insecure myself. I was tormented in high school... bullied endlessly. By college, I was tired of being hurt and so I grew very defensive and built a wall around me. For years, I didn't look all that inviting to talk to. I was afraid of showing weakness and experiencing pain. But over time, I tuned into myself and became aware of who I was. Once I figured myself out, I was no longer afraid of pain, because no one bothered attempting to inflict it on me for 2 reasons: primarily, by college, the bullying is more or less over. Second, because I appeared as confident, and trying to break a wall made of confidence is impossible so it's not attempted. I could relate to John's insecurities and how they affected his behavior. John was apparently the gentlest, most loving man.... and he, like me, didn't want to show signs of vulnerability for fear of being ridiculed or taken advantage of perhaps. Anyhow, from my experience in the past with insecurity, that's my personal conclusion...

Sara, Yes insecurity is part of life. I hope to get over soem of them one day. I like John got over the fear of wearing glasses a few years ago. Stylegurrl I also got bullied in school too. I was very shy and fearful and wanted revenge. IT made me feel funny to go out in certain places. From what you say about John it does indeed seem like John cared what others thought of him and wanted to be liked. I myself understand him putting up a tough guy front for fear of being called a sissy. IT seems as if John felt that if he showed his true self nobody would like him. I still need to be myself. I have fear too of not being handsome or manly enough myself. I find that when I get angry I can realte to John in a way. My love for dogs i my Paul side.

Excuse me, I meant MAgical Mystery Girl not Stylegurrl. Magical Mysetery Girl from what you say it does seem that John cared what toehrs thought of him and that he put up a tough guy front for fear of being called a sissy.

Hi Paulfan, i'm sure you will some day it just takes time, i'm still not over all mine and most people probably dont get over theirs for a long time! But that is okay it will happen when it is meant too. And until then there is nothing wrong with being insecure, just another one of the things we deal with our daily lives.

Hi Sam, Thank you for the lovely words about George. I'll miss him forever but at the same time I take great comfort in knowing that he's not really gone. He's with us always. Hugs, Jennifer

Hi Magical mystery Girl. Lovely and expressive post regarding people's insecurities. We all have them from time to time and when all is said and done they eventually vanish which proves they were unimportant. Love and hugs. Sam.
