Signs of Insecurity







One of the greatest challenges we face in our lifetimes is becoming comfortable in our own skin. A person who is secure with himself is much more likely to achieve success, have meaningful relationships, and be respected by others.


A person who is insecure finds difficulty in many aspects of life. Since most people are insecure, a person who is secure has power and influence over others; even if they are not otherwise powerful.


Coming to terms with who you are is the first step in obtaining happiness in life. The sooner you realize that happiness is something that you decide internally, and not something that you get from people or posessions; the sooner you will be able to create your own destiny.


A Lifelong Process


Everyone has some form of insecurity. It’s almost impossible to be 100% free of doubt. There have only been a handful of people throughout history who have obtained this level of confidence, and most of them have gone on to be great spiritual leaders. Now, we look up to them as role-models.


Confidence is usually a gradual process. It often comes with age and wisdom (although some people never find it). Those who work on themselves and gain confidence early on will have a much easier time navigating the challenges of life.


Insecurity is Destructive


Even though none of us are perfect; it’s easy to spot those of us who are overly insecure. Extreme insecurity is usually marked by an obsession with gaining the approval of other people. This level of self-doubt is extremely destructive to a person’s life and is often the root of almost all their problems.

An insecure person buys things to send out a particular image to other people.


A secure person buys something because he wants it and he doesn’t care what people think about him.


An insecure person cares about what other people say about him and tries so hard to display a certain image.


A secure person believes in himself and he doesn’t need the affirmation of others to make him feel happy.


An insecure person wants a beautiful woman so that he can show her off to other people, because he feels he needs to prove something to others.


A secure person could care less what people think of his woman. He doesn’t care about proving anything to anyone. He goes for the woman because he wants to.


An insecure person tries to act like something he isn’t because he wants to act a certain way to other people. An insecure person works hard to show that he is this certain person in order to get the approval of friends and other people.


A secure person doesn’t act like anybody. He is just himself. He doesn’t care about trying to act like something to impress someone. He is happy with himself and he doesn’t feel the need to prove something to anyone. He is content and confident with himself.


An insecure person feels that he needs to show off or brag to other people to make people like him.


A secure person really could care less about bragging. He lets others do it for him.





I think that the person your with can contribute immensely to the level of insecurity/security you feel.

I think so too.


my husband does make me feel confident.


he's a very confident man, to me.


he has a strong ego, which really helps me because I lack ego with having a 12th house moon.


when i'm not with him, I feel really depressed and sad.


he's with me everyday, even when i'm on here on the computer, reading, he's next to me.

Now that I'm single and have removed myself from toxic relationships. I'm more secure than ever, I'm going through an emotional healing process and I like where it's heading because I'm opening my heart towards new friends, opportunities, and life changes.


I just created a thread explaining how I'm happy with my body; flaws and all regardless of becoming older. I don't care to feed into negativity, I'm a lot more forgiving, I'm seeking peace within myself, and accepting what makes me feel good. So far this new year has been amazing. I'm definitely growing emotionally and mentally, this is exactly where I needed to be. It's only getting better and I'm excited..


I'm no longer searching for someone, I'm will wait til he's placed in my life because when that happens it will be the right time and when I least expect it.


I have surrounded myself with beautiful new hobbies and loving people who genuinely care about me. That's a lot to say for such an introverted person but I had to open up and let people love me. It was the only way I could learn to trust and finally let go. Focusing on my Education has also been a huge step for me to accomplish, so I'm heading in the right direction.


that sounds really sweet.

In general im pretty laid back, but if i sense the person is lying to me about important (for me) stuff i get worried. Honesty is pretty important to me. Im quite tolerant to not opening up entirely, i understand how some people find it difficult. But lies, i just dont understand why would you lie to your partner.


Probably that shows i have insecurities in that aspect.
is that why you have difficulty in relationships?


I don't understand...are you with someone right now?



I was posing this question due to relationships with people, and deeper relationships.

Very, very insecure in relationships.


Always woke up before to get ready. Always was super strict about my bod and how it had to look perfect naked. But I wasn't fake like "umgz I have to buy diz or wear diz" it was more of a I can't let the person I'm into seeing me look unpresentable. lol.


I never understood those couples that both go out looking like trash in sweats and pajama pants and shit. I could never get that comfortable with someone.
I don't mind looking like trash in the home, though. lol with sweat pants and big overalls or comfy stuff...


but not outside. lol


my man is too proud to look like crap (his Leo placements most likely) lol and won't allow me to look like crap either outside. But inside the home, we can be what we can be.

insecure then?


how so? you seem more secure though, in your actions. You showing your photos everywhere, in every angle, that's a very very secure person. Even if you show your photos to the public in not a very good light.

I have ferocious anxiety.

I am not a very strong person ..and I think secure people are strong generally.
Everyone has anxiety and insecurity, no one is truly free of that because they would not be human if it were true.

A word of advice (as far as the bolded part goes): don't expect things to be any different with this approach... Whether you search for someone or they're placed in your life (when you least expect) - the results can be the same. That, doesn't change anything (i'm saying this - as someone who's familiar only with this approach / i never searched for someone, like... never / the right peps were always placed in my path). It's still up to you (what people you attract and how things will workout). I mean, it's not enough to be capable at running your own boat (enjoying life while being single), even with a compatible partner - you'll still have to learn how to do things efficiently as a team (so called teamwork : ). You'll still have to pick up from where you left off (the last time...). Basically, how things will go - it depends on what you've learned so far (how much you've matured in terms of relationships).


There's no way around this (for anyone). Those who didn't learn much - end-up repeating the same mistakes - until they get to learn their lesson (some never do and struggle all their lives - feeling miserable in their relationships / feeling cursed or something like that). The thing is... there's no perfect partner. We're all flawed by design (we're all different and lacking in one way or the other), thus, beyond love... it still takes a lot of work, dedication and last but not least - compromises (same as with anything else : ).


Just... my two cents.

I've done this and in the last 8mths I've come a long way.


It makes a huge difference to the way you are around other negative people, when you've got your own shit together.


I've now got the "not my circus, not my monkeys" attitude and stay away from emotional leeches.

WHY?!? ?


You're a beautiful young woman, with some strong opinions and what seems like good morals and a strong personality!


Stay strong and beautiful and don't let anyone bring you down!

Very insecure but I don't do a lot of things on that list as many of them are more extroverted exhibitions of insecurity. My insecurity manifests in different ways.
Eh, 99% of the time I am secure. But the other 1% of the time is because my bestfriend is in the most toxic relationship. This causes her to question everything, since he cheated. In turn, she will start saying stuff when I say something about my current relationship that gets me all nuts cause she has been drilling whatever negative thing it is, down my throat for days.


Drives me nuts.

it seems, right now that's the focus of your help, helping your best friend so it encompasses your well-being.

Yea, I mother her. I admit it. If I am not there to let her view things more logically and reasonably, she will make these rash decisions without looking at it logically. She's also really needy right now, because of everything, and although I hate it, it's what she needs so I will do it.


I love that girl, and I tell her it. One of the VERY few people I have ever said that to.
