When someone tells you that you are too insecure

it could be a joke
like your insecure, what would make it worse?
being told youre insecure.

I get told this a lot as I find criticism hard to take and very upsetting. I do agree with them but I find it quite cold.

It probably depends on the context. For example, a loved one saying, "you’re too insecure—but if you don’t take chances you can’t succeed" is probably trying to be encouraging.

I think so. I had an ex girlfriend tell me that, but I think it was a cover up for what she was doing behind my back. In fact, I know it was without question.

Yes. There's ways to help people and questions you can ask for understanding instead of judging them then commenting.

Depends on who and why they are saying this to you.
If they are worried about you, that is one thing, but if it is said because of a reaction to their bad behavior, then it's most likely a put-down.

It depends on how, when, and why they said it.
If they said it right after you made some self-defeating comment it is probably not meant to be insulting but helpful.

Depends on how they said it. We need to learn to say things with love.

No they could be telling you something helpful to reflect upon.

You're insecure
Don't know what for
You're turning heads when you walk through the door


Just searched the lyrics and they have repeated the chorus 5 times.

not necessarily

Depends who they are in your life

@CelticRose 🤔suppose it is in the way it is expressed when said if it is meant as an obserservation or an insult

Provocation or just a person on a spectrum

Would depend on the context of the rest of the conversation

Usually they are trying to get you to accept some kind of abuse they want to normalize.

Only if you’re really insecure. 🤣

Perhaps… or worse even.. gaslighting

They want to sell you locks.

No
