At some point in life, at some time or another, we all suffer from insecurity. Some feel insecure about romantic relationships. Some may feel insecure about someone at the workplace. It's difficult to say who, when, and about whom someone will suffer from insecurity. Some people react badly when suffering from insecurity. Others silently struggle with those insecurities. The 'virus' of insecurity can exist in friendships, romantic relationships, workplaces, and even within families. Actually, this is an individual's mental problem that takes root deeply in the mind over time. It becomes a cause of depression. It can even destroy healthy, normal relationships.

Many people suffer from insecurity internally but can never talk about it. This destroys their mental peace. Isn't there someone like this around you? How would you understand?
Constantly seeks reassurance
A major symptom of suffering from insecurity is constantly seeking validation from others. This type of person feels a lack of self-confidence. They seek reassurance from others at every step. They always need others' support to regain their self-confidence.
Jealousy is a common trait
Jealousy towards others is born from insecurity. They cannot tolerate seeing someone happy. They cannot enjoy others' success. Even when something good happens to someone very close, they feel as if they are losing something. This feeling always makes them anxious. It destroys mental peace.
Excessive explanation
Feeling excessive guilt for minor mistakes. Repeatedly apologising. Giving excessive explanations. These are also symptoms of suffering from insecurity.

Feels uncomfortable with praise
Another problem for those who suffer from insecurity is that even when they are praised, they cannot accept it with an open mind. Even when they receive praise, they feel uncomfortable about it. Even after doing good work, they avoid others.
Tries to create a perfect image of themselves to others...
Even while suffering from insecurity, such people always try to appear fine from the outside. They want to build an image as if nothing has happened. Everything is fine. There are no problems at all. Insecurity keeps increasing. Depression increases. The impact extends from personal to professional life.
