What screams "I'm very insecure"?

People who can never be alone and jump from one relationship to next.
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.9 -

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.4 -

I 100% agree0 -
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!1

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.5 -
I'll just say me.4

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.0 -

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!

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!

When someone makes everything about them3

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
