How Insecurity Can Ruin a Good Relationship?

Insecurity is something that we, as humans, deal with on an everyday basis on many levels. Some fears and insecurities are based on safety. We have locks on our doors to keep people out. Sometimes we put up emotional bars as well to keep people that we say we love out of our hearts and this can be viewed as insecurities as well.

But, there are a groups of individuals who suffer from a different kind of fear:

Emotional Insecurity:

A good definition that I found, via Wikipedia, for someone who is afflicted with this disorder - "Insecurity is a feeling of general unease or nervousness that may be triggered by perceiving oneself to be unloved, inadequate or worthless (whether in a rational or an irrational manner). A person who is insecure lacks confidence in their own value and capability, lacks trust in themselves or others, or has fears that a present positive state is temporary and will let them down and cause them loss or distress by "going wrong" in the future."

Men/woman can develop controlling personality types from this disorder and can cause harm and unpleasantness to their partners. But often times, it lies quiet, going on behind the scenes, not letting their partner know that they feel this way this way.

Let's explore these insecurities and see if we can put an end to them and have some meaningful, Grown, Sexy Situations!
