Category:Insecure characters

Insecure Characters are characters who have flaws as a result of low self-esteem and lack of confidence, often due to rejection, abuse, and/or humiliating experiences in the past.

They tend to feel socially inadequate, causing them to fear and worry about what other people might think of them. They want to be liked by others and will go to extreme lengths to please everybody, because they can't bear it if people are mad at them.

Insecure characters may even compare themselves to others to see how they "stack up" against the perceived "competition".

They also tend to attack or lash out at other characters, society, and/or the world to feel better about themselves, regardless of their reputation with others. Insecure characters usually do this in order to assert themselves, and may even lie about their alleged "success" to impress others.

Overall, insecure characters hide their real selves in order to avoid rejection and/or hatred, when most of their perceptions are wrong and/or just flat-out bogus.

The defining feature of an insecure character is that they lie in many ways both to themselves and others. By definition, a Complete Monster can never fall under or be a part of this category.
