Romance is good for a relationship. But when it gets a little OTT, it may be a sign of insecurity. Wondering how, right? We are all a little insecure when it comes to love, after all! While some of us are smart enough to hide it, others are too vocal about it. A few even display it with their romantic gestures. Couples often confuse romance with being secure in a relationship, and that’s not exactly a good thing. Here are a few signs dipped in love that hint towards insecurity:
1. Too many updates
It’s good to keep your partner updated about your whereabouts, but that doesn’t mean you share every minute and second with him. There are couples who do that, and after a point, it starts affecting their relationship. You may not realize it initially, but it takes a toll. You feel loved and wanted, but the constant checking in throughout the day is a big NO! If your partner does that, then your partner is seeking attention.
2. Canceling plans with friends
Sure, you may feel like the luckiest person alive to have found a partner who prioritizes you above all; but in the long run, you will know what exactly it was. It wasn’t just priority–it was to keep a check on you and be sure you are as much interested in spending time with them as they are. Canceling plans with friends to go out with you regularly is not romantic, it’s needy!
3. Too much PDA on social media
Love and social media are synonymous in the millennial world, aren’t they? While you might be fighting all-day long with bae, your social media will be filled with mushy pictures. We ain’t telling you to keep your love life completely off social media; but if it’s too regular, that’s when you should know that your partner seeks validation on a public platform.
4. Drop in randomly
This might be the scariest and most bizarre thing ever. Impromptu plans are good, but if your partner drops in randomly when you are hanging out with friends, it can come as a surprise–and not a pleasant one at that. Experts say it’s a strong sign of insecurity. Giving space to your partner is crucial. While your partner may claim to surprise you and make you feel loved–you know what it truly is. Don’t you?
5. When apologies are way too stretched
It’s good to see your partner make that extra effort to pacify you after an argument or fight. But, it does leave you with a question: why? It’s okay! But when FOMO hits, you know. Even more when they try to make up for things they aren’t at fault for. You know what we’re saying?
