Insecurity From The Family In Which You Grew Up

Parents who express hopelessly negative feelings toward their children are trying to inoculate themselves against the pain of rejection or failure. They may have grown up with statements like these:

• "You'll never amount to anything."
• "Don't even try it, you won't succeed."
• "The world is a cruel place."
• "Men (or women) will only hurt you."

This is insecure behavior on the part of one's parents and it makes the children insecure as well.

Families that stick closely together, excluding the outside world, may be run by a person who is feeling insecure.

A person's father may have been afraid that exposure to the outside world was threatening and might hurt him.

Families that cover up the truth are also afraid of the pain that the truth would bring.

This is insecure behavior. It leads to children who are also afraid of truth and pain.
