I don't really see alot of this. I don't know, maybe I'm blind 🤷♀️ Maybe some need validation because they don't get any at home or don't feel good about themselves. I don't hand out compliments that I don't mean but when I do they're genuine and it makes me feel good to make others feel good. I guess what I'm trying to say is that sometimes we don't know people and don't know why they do what they do.
Exactly this. It’s simple to say someone is seeking validation or that someone isn’t being genuine but it’s assumptions in the end. Think what one may, but we’re only pretending to know why someone does what they do, and it really isn’t our business any how.8 -

No- I agree with you! I gush over girls all the time, but not because I’m insecure- it’s quite the opposite actually. I appreciate strength, confidence, & beauty & im not afraid to compliment someone when I see this; whether they are male or female. There are soo many beautiful people in this world- both inside & out! I think lifting others up & showing kindness shows anything but insecurity!

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.
Yes- I agree!! My statement was less about online interaction because I don’t personally know anyone here. I’m talking more about people I have known personally! I’m not judging regardless- I think we all feel insecure at times and that’s ok!

I like to look at butts. So, same, basically. 😁4 -

I don’t really think there’s one defining behavior for insecurity. I think everyone probably exhibits it differently. When I am feeling insecure, I shut down and withdraw. I’ve been told that I can come off as unapproachable, but really I’m just in my own head.6

Me three.2 -
I am not sure that bragging, being loud or wearing a ton of makeup and having expensive stuff means someone is insecure in fact probably the opposite.
I would be more concerned about the person who stays back from the conversation, who is just on the peripheral of things, looking on from a distance and not joining in.
You can come accross as brash and still be insecure but we often overlook the quiet people and sometimes they can be the ones that need the most encouragement to believe in themselves.5 -

I do this for sure. I call it "going hermit".1 -

Like you, I dont hand out compliments. I don't like empty compliments so I don't give them but when I compliment a female or male, I genuinely mean them. If someone doubts the genuineness of your words that's more on them. Patterns speak louder in that case to me. And again, like you said, we dont know why people do what they do and the level of insecurity they carry on day to day basis. Cultivating self reflection is hard for some people to do because you have to question your own actions and most people dont like to see the ugly in themselves. I'm not sure where I'm going with this and I'm off track probably so I'm just gonna end it here 🤣2 -
Laughing too much
Apologizing when you’ve done nothing wrong
Making apologies or excuses for your home, appearance, children, etc
Hunching shoulders

Dis me. Except the shoulders. I am very conscious of my posture. But the floor is very interesting when I walk.2 -

I feel like I laugh too much, but thats probably because I find things funny that other people would think are stupid. I once saw a sign that said "please don't write on this" and right next to it, someone wrote "ok" and I still laugh about that to this day. Ok, now I feel insecure about the fact that I laugh too much.

Same! I laugh way too much- I’m easily amused & laugh at the most random things!! I totally would’ve laughed at the sign too!! I’m a dork..🤪1 -

My personal insecurity is the belief that no one likes me so I can be slow to warm up to people or to trust them. I imagine this probably makes me seem standoffish at times but really I just want you to be my friend OK?11
