There really are all kinds of people out there. Some are bubbly and fun, while others... well, they can’t stop name-dropping, oversharing, or turning every chat into a bragging session. Sound familiar? People online are sharing the small (and sometimes cringe) behaviors that scream “insecure” and honestly, a few of them are uncomfortably relatable. From constant humblebrags to hijacking conversations just to feel noticed, these little moments might make you wince or laugh. Keep scrolling to see what others had to say—and maybe spot a habit or two to rethink.

Telling obvious lies on any social media platforms.

Along with the obvious lies my insecure sister also enjoys talking about overcoming insecurity on Facebook. "I was always too insecure to wear a bikini but I think it's important to show how far I've come" or "I realised I need to allow myself to be vulnerable and show how far I've come with my singing." She is trying to show she has overcome certain insecurities but her need to post that s**t constantly shows she still relies on compliments for her self esteem.

Like the guy who moved to the West Coast and constantly has to post about his life and how awesome it is. It looks really fun I have to admit. But sitting around with some friends and he was brought up in discussion. One guy goes: “F**k him. He grabbed photos I took of my San Francisco vacation and put them up on Facebook talking about his work trip.”
The guy whose pictures they were messaged him asking what the hell, and the phony basically said that he did visit there but he forgot to take pictures so he used his pictures cuz he liked them.... uhhhh, who the f**k does that?
