Saw this topic on another forum, and the answers were fascinating.
Thoughts?

    • Inability to accept legitimate criticism (not insults, actual constructive criticism).
    • Snooping on whatever it is I happen to be doing that is none of your business.
    • Excessive jealousy (a little is probably normal and fine).
    • The inability to leave one's house without having a full face of makeup at all times.
    • Being hypercritical of other people or oneself (guilty of this one, as I've mentioned).

    I beg to disagree. There are car enthusiasts out there with rides much nicer than that 'Vet, and are some of the most down-to-earth and agreeable people. They just happen to love cars.

    Likewise. It was a friendly feud the German auto enthusiasts have. I could have put a Ferrari up there. The 911 crowd gets called insecure frequently or voted among the least faithful.

    My knee-jerk was mid-life crisis car, though I know there are true enthusiasts out there.

    Joint facebook accounts.

    I thought this was a myth until I saw one in action.

    To be fair, I have seen a joint account that wasn't because of insecurity, though. They just legitimately did not like FB and felt that having a joint account was an exercise in extreme trust, however, they have since left FB because they didn't enjoy the social "nosy" aspect.

    Now if I want to talk to them, I have to actually call them, :laugh:.

    Oh.. gotcha, gotcha. I once worked directly for a millionaire business man who had a 911, he treated me almost like a son 👍🏻

    Exactly. Can't judge them by what they drive. It might become evident later that they are not an enthusiast, but just using it as a status symbol. I reserve judgement.

    idk this thread seems more like “*kitten* i dont like about people” instead of signs someone’s insecure

    I agree. I see this not ending well or making people feel like *kitten* 🤣

    Eta: now I'm insecure

    I was kinda hoping it wouldn't go this way.

    I like the not so obvious answers like people who try to always be PC. When I saw this post on a different forum, it got me thinking a lot. More self reflection than putting people down for using filtered selfies and such.

    Always filter their photos.

    Can’t admit another person of the same gender is attractive.

    Overly PC about everything.

    So many women know this that now you see women gushing over each other instead. In some situations it’s clear that the compliments are only intended to make themselves look secure when they aren’t really.

    .... that just seems like too much work. People are weird, yo.

    I 100% agree

    Constantly seeking validation or trying way too hard. There’s a difference between those that are confident & those that over compensate.. doesn’t take long to see the difference!

    Depends. A lot of what a person thinks of as "insecure selfie posting" is not. It's just that some folks are way more secure in themselves and what they look like *or* that they just don't give a *kitten* what others think about them. I think it's quite hard to find the line between the two based only on a selfie or only on online interaction.

    In person? Yes, it's way easier to tell.
