How to use "Insecure" in context?
When we think of insecurity, it is often a feeling of being unsure or worried about the future. Insecurity can stem from many different things, such as worry about money, not being able to find a job, being bullied at school, or any other number of challenges that people confront in their everyday lives.
But insecurity isn't just a feeling. It can also be a real, tangible insecurity that results in abnormal or irrational thoughts and behaviors. For example, someone who is insecure might constantly worry about what others think of them, or they might become really self-conscious about their body image.
