when someone calls you insecure, its mainly you exhibit a habit of projecting onto others your insecurity.
an example of that is this:
"No matter where I end up reading, this always pops up in debates and such.
"His insecurity is leaking." "Your insecurity is leaking." And more. I'm really not grasping what people mean by that. Is there any actual reasoning or is it just some dumb saying like rustled? "
and
"I mean the rebuttal that someone is "insecure" when they continue pushing with their arguments. I literally cannot grasp the meaning. It's like an empty word, but, at the same, it'd be the only content of an entire post."
You exhibit insecurity when you posted that question. This post gives out an essence which the poster is seeking approval of others from a prior argument in which the poster was called "insecure"
^ reading this, take the time to reflect before replying. I wish to know how you felt and what you wanted to write back to me. Did you wish to reply while you are influenced by some emotions? If so, then you are exhibiting insecurity. If you were indifferent however, you are not.
It might simply be that you really do not know what insecurity means and are curious in what context people mean when they say such saying as that.
I do apologize for being direct and using your post as an example. It required no imagining of a scenario and you would be able to relate to it quicker.
It was due to you saying "I literally cannot grasp the meaning." That was questionable as in you are just unable to grasp the context of which it was said or that you are deflecting the context to which it was said and deemed it nonsensical.
like "you're insecure" "uhh that doesn't even make sense"
You did not give much detail in which the person had arrived to the "conclusion" to call you insecure so I cannot answer that properly so I am just presenting you with two answers that best fit your ambiguous post.
