If your man is doing these 8 things, he is very insecure.
Insecure people are those who lack confidence and doubt their own abilities… Insecure people lack confidence in themselves and doubt their own abilities or that others really like them.
It takes all your energy to assure your man (and reassure him over and over again) that you love him, and it eats up your life.
To avoid another broken heart caused by dating insecure men, here are 15 signs of insecurity to watch out for.
1. He tells you that you are everything to him.
You are his world, the center of his universe, his reason for living. Outside of work, he has no interests or hobbies, he’s never had friends and doesn’t hang out with anyone but you.
It’s too much pressure to handle. What happens when you hit a roadblock in your relationship? When things don’t go well, his world falls apart. He falls apart because you are his world.
2. He lies.
If you suspect a man of telling you obvious lies, he may be coming from a place of insecurity. He’s uncomfortable with who he is or with being himself around people. Instead, he tries to be who he thinks you want him to be. Naturally, this leads to a lot of lying. Deep down, some men are afraid of not being good enough and this insecurity leads them to lie and exaggerate.
3. He is defensive
He has a fragile ego. He tends to panic if he ends up being wrong about something or if something happens that could make him look less attractive. If a guy is too quick to defend himself, it’s usually a sign of insecurity.
4. He is easily jealous
He is always afraid that he is not good enough for his girlfriend. In the same vein, he worries about being left for someone else. He doesn’t like it when you meet co-workers or friends after work for happy hour. After a while, this possessiveness will become maddening when you feel like you can’t do anything with your friends without upsetting him.
5. He needs constant validation.
He is always concerned about how they look and how people around the world see them. He needs constant validation. So when you assure him that you find him attractive, he doesn’t believe you. He usually suffers from low self-esteem, which, by the way, is the driving force behind many of his insecure behaviors.
6. He makes comparisons
He will look for any way to boost his ego and inflate himself. He may brag about being better than his co-workers, being taller or better looking than one of your male friends. This is usually harmless, but it is a good sign that a man has confidence issues.
7. He thinks you are unfaithful.
He can’t shake the suspicion that you’re cheating on him. He may accuse you of flirting with the waiter, having an affair with a co-worker or looking for someone better.
8. You have the distinct impression that he is overcompensating for something.
It could be the huge truck. It could be the fact that he is always showing off his professional accomplishments. It could be the fact that his muscles make him look like a tick about to burst. Either way, it feels like he’s desperate for women to notice him.
