What screams "I'm very insecure"?
Replies

So this thread is kinda interesting because I am noticing some things:
- We all have some very different ideas of what constitutes "insecure".
- Some of what has been mentioned are actually gateway forms of abuse (and giant red flags indicating a potential abusive relationship).
- Some of the things mentioned I wouldn't consider insecurity, but more the traits of a passive or non-confrontational personality.
- Really interesting to see how others view this topic and it perfectly illustrates that we just really can't know about the minds of other people unless they explicitly let you in.

I was big on this. Yeah, I was insecure, but I was also extremely non-confrontational, to the point where I will just go along with whatever to avoid any unpleasant arguments or anything. If I can do it, I will just do it...
Also, I used to have a couple friends I hung out with a lot who were very headstrong and kind of unaccommodating. So I was always trying to "keep the peace", which meant they got their way and I never did. I didn't care as much as long as they were happy and not arguing. But I never voiced my opinion...
I still feel that way. It's a daily (sometimes more) struggle...
So tell me whatchu want, whatchu really really want
I'll tell you want I want, what I really really want....2 -
I do.1

Apologizing when you’ve done nothing wrong
Making apologies or excuses for your home, appearance, children, etc
Hunching shoulders
Ugh...me ...all of it
that's all cute, but that's really only stuff that women do
What does that mean? It's not really cute. Could be mostly a female thing...🤷♀️0 -

I’m not surprised, they stuff those things with ghosts. I know. Seen it with my own eyes.2 -

I have to admire (while also being annoyed) at those folks that they are able to do that.2 -

Is that the term? I always feel weird doing it. I also feel like I'm being rude doing it. No idea why.1 -
Idk if it's insecurity, but I work with someone who constantly gives us a play by play of literally everything she does. Like she gets off the phone and has to make comments about what was talked about even if it doesn't relate to us. Announces every time she gets up to go to the restroom. Makes announcements where you just know she wants tou to ask her what's going on. Always interrupts conversations.1

Gossiping or putting down other people2

When you constantly have to compare yourself to your significant other exes and/or need your partner to continuously reasure and validate you. As well as, when one reads too much into everything their partner says and does. The reality is that you can’t solely rely on your partner to make you feel good about yourself. In doing this you'll never be fully happy, both with yourself and in your relationship.4

When I actively avoid people I incidentally know while out and about. Usually happens when I'm running errands (hate) in the sloppiest clothes I own with no make up, etc and I worry that they arent seeing the version of me that I prefer to present.3

Ok, i am generally a pretty secure person. Sure i have moments of second guessing myself or insecurity, i am human. But in general im very okay with where im at, and what i do. That in itself sets people off sometimes to speculate insecurity. I make mistakes, i am wrong about things, and sometimes I dont read a room well. But i dont think any of that is insecurity, i think its just not being perfect. I approach life with, its good until its not, its true until its not, and its possible until its not. I have done well succeeding when it was thought silly to try, and i have learned a lot failing with an effort. I think its possible to be secure in general even if there are moments you are not, just like you wont get fat overeating a day when your normal routine is fitness and a conscious diet.9

The explanation might be a sign of insecurity.
My noncommittal use of the word might could also be a sign of insecurity.7 -

Of course.....i was not the one to disagree. If i was ever to actually disagree with someone i would try to disagree with a civil post. I dont ever click on the cowardly anonymous negative buttons.
