The person who is insecure will constantly see other people\u2019s actions (or inactions) as a threat to their sense of self. When someone doesn\u2019t do or say what we want or expect them to, this can be very uncomfortable and unnerving for those of us who are insecure. Insecurity causes us to rely almost exclusively on external things and conditions to help us feel safer in the world\u2014and since the external isn\u2019t within our control, we are often left reeling, reactive, and defensive.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12749],"tags":[5971,4845,655,4583,7331,7332,7191,741,705,4577,9906,6355,704,3,583,4585,2657,8647],"class_list":["post-8742","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-tumblr","tag-anxiety","tag-anxious","tag-artist","tag-defending","tag-defensive","tag-egoism","tag-expectation","tag-influencer","tag-mind","tag-offended","tag-offense","tag-offensive","tag-psychology","tag-quote-of-the-day","tag-science","tag-self-centered","tag-self-esteem","tag-self-improvement"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
