      TF are they even staying together for? Ridiculous. These'll be the same people who'll later hop online and say they gave a man 7-15 years. We only get one life. Why waste it?

    Absolute truth. My biggest hater was my ex-husband. As soon as I became an RN and started making more money than him, all of a sudden, he changed his mind about kids and wanted to have a baby. I said absolutely NOT. Divorced him 5 months later and got licensed as an APRN 3 years later and never looked back. That MF didn't want kids. He just wanted ME to have a child or two to stop my success. I am so glad I peeped his motives and got rid of him. I am now in a lovely relationship with the bear🐻 of my dreams!!! 😊❤

    One reason we feel "insecure" is by comparin ourselves with others. Life is not a checklist, ya don't need to have that dream job at certain age etc. Just take it easy, step by step, get to know yourself, don't follow other peoples paths, everyone has their time to shine ❤

    I had a "friend" that was incredibly insecure of everyone but she covered it with fake confidence. If someone said I looked pretty she'd say "ikr? I always tell her she'd be perfect if she got her nose done" when I asked her about a good dermatologist for my acne because I was new in the city, she said "yeah I noticed your acne really ruined your face but didn't want to say anything, don't worry we'll get it fixed with your nose too" if anyone complimented me on the way I dressed she'd say I got it from her, while she would try to buy clothes like mine. She LITERALLY bought the exact same skirt when I told her where I got it. Here's the catch, I was the one that told her about my nose, she knew it was an insecurity of mine so she used it against me the whole time.

    Insecurity projected on you can come in the form of concern and worry... It boils down to fear and the more you are around the fearful person trying to dissuade you from your dreams the more your confidence in yourself goes down and the more likely you are to give up. Stay around ppl that are balanced in their advice, that encourage you... Not those always telling you to be careful, to not take ANY chances, or keep informing you of the negative and telling you to give up.

      I strongly agree. This describes my mother. I used to have a lot of anxieties (i.e. social anxiety, anxious avoidant attachment style in relationships) and it took me until adulthood to realize that she was the source of it all. She would fill my head with her fears about anything I told her, whether big or small. Nearly everything she said would always be irrational and while I knew that and would tell her so, it would still infuse me with anxieties about that plan or person in general. I'd have a general feeling that something would go wrong, and my mind would come up with more rational worries. I had to stop telling her almost everything, and all of my anxieties went away, so I know I had no problem within myself. Now my life is more on track than ever.

    This is my mother. I grew up with her constant criticism: always picking at my appearance, my behaviour, my success (or lack thereof) in school. I'm nearly 50 and she still tries to do it, despite my drawing a firm boundary with her years ago. Needless to say, this messed me up for life. But what is really behind all of that criticism and bullying, is her own deep insecurities. Women, if we don't deal with this BS, we pass it onto the younger women in our lives.

    I’ve noticed if you mind your own business people get REALLY insecure.
    The fact you aren’t trying to suck up to them or get their approval means you don’t want anything from them thus you can’t be manipulated or used as a status boost and you’re a threat.
    They can also misinterpret shyness as “you think you’re better than me stuck up b$tch”.

    Kinda reminds me if my grandmother that would compare my sister and my weight. When we were kids she was severely underweight and couldn’t gain weight and my grandmother just thought she was thin and look good and I was a normal weight for a child and was called “chubby”. I had baby fat of course! It led to me having eating issues throughout adolescence to adulthood me and my sister fluctuate like normal human beings. I was recently looking at old photos and realized that I really wasn’t “fat” or “chubby” I was just a normal weight being compared to my sister who was underweight at the time.

    of course, typically how your grandparents raised your parents is how they will treat you. this why you always here the phrase, " i would never talk to my mother like that." in other words, they never stood up for themselves as a kid but resent you for standing up for yourself. they see you as the child they never could be and their ego cant handle it. they blame this generation for not masking their trauma and passing it on to the next. they think you should process and deal with it, just hide it and pass it on to your kids

    When I was young, I was very insecure. I was living according to other people's standards. I think I was a drain to some people. I had to get therapy, go NC with my birth family, and make changes in my life. Once I started living for myself -- which is actually a quiet, simple, modest life -- I stopped being resentful of others. I'm not perfect -- always a work in progress -- but life is so much better.

    Some people will be angry that you're _not_ jealous of them too (i.e., insecure people)! / I really appreciate the one woman talking about how dangerous insecure people are. Insecure people are the jealous mothers who know their partner SA's their female child and hate the child for it. They're the women who will let a man SA their children and/or otherwise procure other children for him to abuse (there was a case about this where a woman fully knew the man's proclivities, went and got her BEST FRIEND'S little girl [because she was her babysitter], and the man choked the woman [the one who was insecure enough to help a predator] to d/eath and kidnapped the little girl). They're the men who will start an argument with you before a test or a big event in your life. They're the men who will hide important documents or work that you need to submit for something big to happen.
    Domestic abusers are insecure; bigots are insecure. And all types will not just sit and stew in their emotions but will go out and do harm.
    If I sense insecurity on a person, I distance myself.

  • @RiriLove88

    I feel like I’ve dealt with this for the majority of my life from family, friends, lovers, coworkers etc. People were constantly projecting their insecurities onto me. It’s one thing to be beautiful but it’s another thing to be beautiful and naturally happy and confident.They see your light and the way it draws others to you and they want to do everything to dim it. That very light attracted them. I’ve allowed myself to shrink to the point I’ve isolated myself. I just couldn’t take it anymore. To constantly have to question the people who are supposed to be in your corner can be very discouraging. I’ve been spending so much time rebuilding the confidence within me that others have destroyed. At the same time I’m grateful because it’s only made my discernment stronger. I’m much wiser from these experiences.

I don't need to be out, partying or whatever. I don't wear makeup or lashes or have a bbl or whatever. And I've always thought everyone else has it better than me. That something is wrong with me and I need to be different. And yet I've had OPS like these for as long as I can remember. Friends who mock belittle and patronize me and put me down every chance they can get but it was always a "joke" and if I had an issue I was "too sensitive" NOW is when I realize that they have a problem with the fact that I just do me and go about my life.

    What people are describing as insecure reminds me more of someone with covert or vulnerable narcissistic traits. Because everyone has some area where they are wanting improvement but that doesn’t mean that they’ll lash out at as a result. I do think some people talked about doing the work to get over insecurity.
    But I think some insecurity is natural. It actually works as a motivator for me. For example if I wasn’t a little insecure about my performance at playing saxophone in high school compared to my peers I would never had practiced and asked for advice to get better.
    I think this is a great conversation starter about what type of people to avoid and can help people identify problematic behavior. But like everything it is nuanced and I hope this adds to the discussion.

      Yes I did personalize my comment. Personal is typically the nature of anecdotal evidence. The speakers in the videos stitched shared their personal experiences and thoughts as well.
      The video is about relationships with other people and the challenges of maintaining a healthy relationship with an insecure individual. The video discusses examples of what relationships with insecure people often look like among other things.
      What point do you believe was taken out of context in my previous comment?
