Except insecurity the word is used always as a pejorative.

It doesn't have to. Same with anxiety, alone no one's going to think the word itself is good, yet a healthy dose of anxiety is simply awareness.

It isn't about what you think it should mean it matters how people use it.

Thats not what I think it should mean, thats how emotions work. Those feelings stem from insecurity. That's factual. People say they're so OCD when they like to be organized, is that what OCD means now?

I think you are aware that your comparison is false.

I think you're grasping at straws because you don't want to engage with complex feelings.

Fine you go around demanding everyone change the meaning of a word.

[–] agitatedpotato@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You seem to be the only one who doesn't get it. Good luck with your emotional intelligence though.

"seem". Making assumptions now.

Really scaping the bottom of the barrel. Seems to me is synonymous with looks to me. Got anything else or just more dissappontment for your English teacher?
