11 Things that make women feel super insecure that men don’t even realize

Insecure Woman
Feeling insecure is something that happens to everyone but men and women have different things that bring forth that emotion. Men don’t realize that things such as sex experience, gorgeous women and social niceties are enough to make women feel insecure about themselves. You need to know what the most common reasons for feeling insecure are for women so you don’t make the mistake of making them feel bad.

1) Her lack of sexual experience

A lack of sex experience can lead to feeling insecure because she’ll worry that’s she not good enough in bed with her techniques or that she’s not adventurous enough to satisfy you. She’ll wonder what she should do differently and think about whether or not you’re comparing her to your past girlfriends. Her sexual insecurity will be strongest at the beginning of the relationship but will lessen once she gets comfortable dating you and you’ve genuinely expressed how great she is in bed.

2) Your emotional closeness with the opposite gender

The concept of emotional cheating is something that women understand better than men and she’s going to feel insecure if she senses you’re doing that with someone you know. Emotional cheating is when you have an emotional closeness with the opposite gender and it’s a strong deep bond. She won’t know why you can’t be that close to her, especially since she’s the one you’re dating and she’s going to have doubts about the strength of the relationship.

3) Being more intelligent than her partner

In society it’s still seen as bad for women to be more intelligent than men and you shouldn’t correct a man if he’s wrong because it emasculates him. When a woman knows she is smarter than her boyfriend she’s going to hide because she doesn’t want to upset him or be seen as a show off but she’ll also feel insecure because she’s not being true to herself. She knows she’s hiding something and is trying to fit into a role that society has made for her.

4) Having her texts ignored

Women care and notice how quickly their texts get replied to if they’re sending them to someone they’re in love with because it’s an intense feeling that they want returned. When you don’t reply right away they wonder what you’re doing that’s more important than they are and begin to worry that you’re losing interest in them. Most people check their phones regularly so she’ll think you’re ignoring her and start thinking about everything she’s done that might have rubbed you the wrong way.

) Your friendship with gorgeous women

It is possible for men to have platonic friendships with gorgeous women but your girlfriend will still feel insecure about it even if she knows nothing is going on. This is because she sees how beautiful the other woman is and is thinking of all the ways she isn’t pretty enough. All of the things she dislikes about herself will seem like a bigger deal than it is and will be all she can focus on when you mention your friend or are spending time with her.

6) Hearing other women being praised

Feeling insecure when she hears you praising other women ties into the same lack of confidence that she feels when you have a platonic friendship with gorgeous women. She’s going to be comparing herself with this woman and focusing on all the ways that she doesn’t measure up. She’ll wonder why you don’t give her compliments and think that you see the other woman as being better than her. She’s going to keep feeling left out and not good enough until you start showing her how you see her and value her part in your life.

7) Having to introduce herself

A simple thing like forgetting to introduce her to someone can lead to feeling insecure because it shows a lack of respect and thoughtfulness which she’ll take personally. This feeling is even worse when it happens in front of someone that you know but she doesn’t like a friend or work colleague. When you don’t introduce her she feels like you’re not thinking about her or don’t want to make it clear that you’re dating her and she’s going to think you don’t see it as a serious relationship.

8) When you don’t act like you’re in love with her

Women are naturally more affectionate and open about their emotions and don’t always remember that men aren’t like that. When you don’t express how much you love her she’s going to think it’s because you don’t feel that way instead of understanding that you express your feelings in other ways. She’ll notice the lack of affectionate touching and meaningful conversations and start doubting the relationship because she needs to know you love her in more obvious ways.

9) When you forget what’s important to her

When you forget things that are important to her, like a work promotion or her favorite restaurant then she’s going to think you don’t love her enough to pay attention and really get to know her. She’ll try and remember what’s important to you and feel like you’re not making an effort which will impact her self-esteem. She’s going to feel unimportant and think about how she can make you notice her more but the only thing that will stop her from feeling insecure is if you start remember the little things that she cares about.

10) She tries a new style

New Style
Women love trying a new clothing style or hairstyle but they’re nervous when they do it because it’s a change and they’re not sure that it suits them. When you don’t notice her wearing something new it tells her you don’t pay attention to how she looks and she’s going to feel unloved. She’ll also think you might not be mentioning it because you don’t like it and are trying not to hurt her feelings. She’s going to feel like she’s made a mistake and will be self-conscious about her appearance.

11) You watching porn

Most people watch porn but women are more discrete about it than men. She feels like she’s not enough to excite you and that you’d rather be with a woman who’s more beautiful and sexually outgoing. She thinks you’re not as attracted to her as she is to you and that’s why you watch porn. She’ knows she can never be like those women and that she’s not good enough to be up to your standards even if you do truly love her.
