Insecurity is the worst sense that lovers feel: sometimes the most humdrum desireless marriage seems better. Insecurity twists meanings and poisons trust.

Graham Greene
About This Quote

Insecurity is a feeling that leaves you questioning your self-worth. It makes you feel as if you are not good enough, and it can cause you to lose sight of what is truly important. When you feel insecure, it can leave you with second-guessing your decisions and making rash decisions that may not last. Insecurity is a terrible thing to have in a relationship, as it can cause many problems in a marriage. It can also create insecurity in any other aspect of life.
