What does insecurity look like in each type?

[mortabunt]

astute observations there.

Thanks. *whispers*: This was all a lot of guesswork done by probability.

INFP- conspiracy behind every bush.

That sounds more like INTPs I've known...everything is a conspiracy theory.

I would agree that the INFP becomes withdrawn & depressed. In my insecure moments, I feel like no one likes/understands me, and that I am not worth much or good enough for anything/anyone. A much different paranoia from conspiracy. I've never felt like a "victim" or like everyone was out to get me at all. If it's insecurity meshed with arrogance, then I will feel like no one understands/likes me, but it's due to their own stupidity and lack of taste .

It is really hard to say how I react and I'm having a lot of trouble deciding. I am rarely insecure. Then, most times when I appear insecure, it is me subconsciously using a method I consciously created when I was little to make people feel guilty for insulting me or being condescending. When I truly, truly am insecure? Gosh, that's hard. I think ENTPs in general tend to be pretty proud and content with themselves. I think when I am insecure I get extremely emotional. I don't think I lash out at people, though, because I'm feeling so unconfident and insecure I don't want to because, what right do I have to do that? When I feel insecure, I think my first instinct is to have a sort of curl up and hide reaction xD It's really, really hard to say, though...
I find this topic exceedingly interesting, though.

EDIT: I think I try to avoid the insecurity when it arises, show people I'm not feeling insecure by trying to convince them that what it is about me I'm insecure over is either perfectly fine or not there at all, and getting rid of the insecure feeling as quickly as possible (though I think I end up thinking about it a /lot/ after the situation that made me feel insecure, but I put on a facade that says I couldn't care less and you're probably wrong anyways.)

ENFP: over reliance on approval from others, hyper-sensitivity to criticism, perfectionist tendencies.

I don't see conspiracies. When I'm feeling insecure in any serious way, there's no need to. Other's don't have to intend; there's a sense that they could harm me if they just lifted a pinky. Of being destructible, too delicate and sensitive to have any business being around creatures with bones. No place for me if I can't stand firm and claim it. Retreat or be shredded. But also retreat to regrow and become stronger before showing my face again (perhaps under the illusion that such a process can be completed in private, though real steps can be taken). Weakness triggers my gag reflex, especially if it's my own.

(INFP) If I feel insecure, I hide, or I "change" type^^ XD
Or sometimes I just pinch myself, and go off to dream land^^

Me, in my bed, eating crackers with no pants on.

INTP: Feeling like I don't know enough so I delay taking action.

When the Fe inferior kicks in, I also worry way too much about what others think of me and the impression I'm making.
