Insecurity
The most common symptoms of emotional insecurity are worry, anger, self-pity,
and depression. These stem from causes which sometimes seem to be within
us, and at other times to come from without. To take inventory in this respect we
ought to consider carefully all personal relationships which bring continuous or
recurring trouble. It should be remembered that this kind of insecurity may arise
in any area where instincts are threatened.
