Depending on your personality, insecurity often manifests in an aggressive, defensive, or passive aggressive attitude. I’m not as insecure as I used to be, but I can see that it is often the cause of my defensiveness, which makes sense when you consider that being falsely accused of doing something bad is a major paranoia of mine. Despite my familiarity with insecurity, I admit I have difficulty knowing the best way to respond to others’ insecurity, especially aggressive manifestations.
My natural inclination to reason with an aggressively insecure person is definitely not the answer. In fact, I think it might make things worse. So, unfortunately I have no insight other than something that doesn’t work, but if I do, I’ll put it here.
