How to recognize an insecure person: advice from a psychologist

There are situations when an insecure person pretends or tries not to show his weaknesses.

Therefore, it is worth looking at several signs of a person who is not confident in himself.

What non-verbal cues should you pay attention to?

Insecure people often show their hesitation through nonverbal cues. They may avoid eye contact, move more slowly, or even tremble.

Their posture may be slightly bent or hidden, often this can be seen by their hands, as he tries to press them to his body.

Doesn't show initiative

A person who lacks self-confidence often avoids taking initiative and prefers to act in the shadows, waiting for someone else to take on the role of leader.

They may exhibit fear of making decisions or expressing their opinions for fear of criticism or judgment.

The most interesting thing is that such traits are not always manifested in relationships. Many insecure people, when they are in a comfortable situation, skillfully disguise their traits.

Asking for forgiveness without reason

Insecure people may constantly apologize for their actions, even if they are not at fault.

They may feel bad about their actions or words, even if there is no real reason for it. Apologies become a kind of shield that protects them from possible criticism or conflicts.

They don't express their own opinion

They may also avoid expressing their opinions or questioning them for fear of disagreement or rejection.

They may remain silent in meetings or discussions, avoiding drawing attention to themselves. Sometimes they may even agree with something they disagree with.

Constantly comparing yourself to others

Insecure people often compare themselves to others and feel unworthy or inadequate.

They may constantly look to others as a model of success and strive to be like that, while feeling incapable of achieving the same heights.

It has long been proven that if you compare yourself to others, serious psychological problems can arise. They are definitely worth highlighting, since we are talking about moral well-being.
