Valid question: Does an insecure person know he/she is insecure?

Or insecure people are completely oblivious to it ?

I genuinely have this question.

I am not hinting this at anyone.

No.

They are so used to their escape and compensatiin mechanisms they dont see it.

Jealously is turned to hate by reasoning .
Hate is executed as logical punishment and seen as 'deserved'.

They are set in their ways . Its a lifestyle amd a mentality .

They look outwards and never in.🤷‍♀️
They cant look within as its too painful and/or embarrassing .

Its a life of denial. Even if they subconsciously feel they are insecure.....they will NEVER admit it.

@SW-User i feel bad for them too.
And slightly angry at the same time.

But they are a subject of their life .
Somewhere, sometime as they were growing up, someone did this to them : made them feel less than they were . (Probably a parent or caregiver) .

Its a sad thing . They go into adulthood always defensive of who they are - terrifed of failure .

Not realising: we ALL fail at some point. Sometimes .....many times .

They dont see failure as a learning thing, they see it as embarrassment and a deduction of who they are.

Which is sad.

Life is full of wins and losses ....continually .

@SW-User i think youve hit on the key element here : jealousy.

Some never feel the need to feel it .
Some are driven by it.

I find it hard to understand myself .
I mean , the only thing we compete with , is our past selves. You know, trying to become better people .🤷‍♀️
