Understanding Insecurity: Five Key Signs to Recognize in Yourself

A recent video from psychologist Nicolás Salcedo highlights five common indicators of insecurity, offering insights into self-perception and interpersonal dynamics. According to Salcedo, individuals exhibiting insecurity often struggle to accept compliments, frequently deflecting praise by downplaying their achievements. They also tend to resist help from others, preferring to manage challenges independently, which can lead to overwhelming burdens. A notable sign is the tendency to apologize excessively, even for situations not their fault, in an effort to avoid conflict. Furthermore, insecure individuals often find it difficult to establish and maintain personal boundaries, leading to potential exploitation by others. Finally, constant comparison with others, particularly idealized online personas, exacerbates feelings of inadequacy. Salcedo suggests that recognizing these signs is the first step towards fostering greater self-acceptance and building healthier relationships.
