Oh absolutely, I dont feel bad about that. But the feeling I get thinking about being with someone who does that kind of stuff is exactly a feeling of insecurity. It's fine and normal, same way its normal to have a little anxiety or a little depression. In healthy doses it's essentially just personality traits, but to me those feeling stem from insecurity. Perhaps it's even innate and not something to be 'fixed' but it still feels like insecurity to me. But I'm realizing that I suppose I can only speak for myself here.

Except insecurity the word is used always as a pejorative.

[-] agitatedpotato@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

It doesn't have to. Same with anxiety, alone no one's going to think the word itself is good, yet a healthy dose of anxiety is simply awareness.

It isn't about what you think it should mean it matters how people use it.

Thats not what I think it should mean, thats how emotions work. Those feelings stem from insecurity. That's factual. People say they're so OCD when they like to be organized, is that what OCD means now?

I think you are aware that your comparison is false.

[-] agitatedpotato@lemmy.world 0 points 7 months ago

I think you're grasping at straws because you don't want to engage with complex feelings.

[-] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 0 points 7 months ago

Fine you go around demanding everyone change the meaning of a word.

[-] agitatedpotato@lemmy.world 0 points 7 months ago

You seem to be the only one who doesn't get it. Good luck with your emotional intelligence though.

[-] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 0 points 7 months ago

"seem". Making assumptions now.

Really scaping the bottom of the barrel. Seems to me is synonymous with looks to me. Got anything else or just more dissappontment for your English teacher?
