6 Signs Someone is Secretly Insecure

Insecurity is a feeling of inadequacy, lack of self-confidence, and inability to cope, accompanied by general uncertainty and anxiety about one’s goals, abilities, or relationships with others. Most of us are painfully aware of our insecurities but avoid sharing them because doing so forces us to confront them and opens up the possibility of people reminding us of them. While we don’t often openly share our insecurities, they can manifest through subtle signs in our behavior. So, here are a few signs someone is secretly insecure.

What's the difference between: a people pleaser and someone who just likes to help other people?

Things Insecure People Do That Slowly Destroy Their Lives

They live in fear of judgement. Insecure people always worry about what other people are thinking.
They avoid meeting new people. ...
They don't believe they're good enough. ...
They're not true to themselves. ...
They live in a world with denial. ...
They're doomed to fail. ...
They don't trust others. ...
They look for the worst.

Joke of the day:
Did you hear about the doofus who got a boomerang for his birthday?
*he spent the next two days trying to throw the old one away..*

I just want to say that I love the fact that the animator represents an insecure person as a cactus.
It does well to capture how defensive an insecure individual can be, and as one being insecure I hate to admit that I become defensive even in the littlest things.

Overall, wonderful video as always

This channel continously calls me out and I don't know if I like that.

How to overcome these traits:
1. Avoid self-comparison because everyone is unique in their own way.
2. YOU are your only competition, be better than the best you have ever been.
3. Learn to accept criticisms healthily as a way to improve yourself because YOU CAN.
4. Love yourself just as who you are, if you love yourself 20% and somebody gives you 30% that's not even half. You need to love you 100% and the rest will carry on.
5. You won't get a brighter life by blowing other people's candles. LET'S NOT GOSSIP IT'S UNHEALTHY.
6. Strive for greatness but at the same time, be humble. "Keep your head held high, but your feet glued on the ground."

Me who is secretly insecure:








*I'm being exposed*

[frenwinter]

My friend is kinda insecure sometimes, and she outs it with a higher, angry (?) tone in disbelief to cover it up! She laughs a lot too after that, then I know I have to check up on her :)

An interesting list, I really think they point that people degrade themselves in front of others is one a lot of people miss and is an important telltale sign for many
