Deep dives

Insecurity Manifestations in Relationships

At the start of relationships, individuals often exhibit insecure behaviors that stem from underlying fears and insecurities. One common behavior is snooping on a partner’s social media activity to seek reassurance when communication lags, which can result in passive-aggressive energy in interactions. Instead of fostering trust, this approach creates a focus on minor details rather than the overall quality of communication. Such actions distract from appreciating the relationship and can lead to unnecessary tension and misunderstandings.
